Agent wrote a Gentoo patch so a 25 year old typesetting tool builds again

The dia typesetting tool from 1999 failed to compile on modern Gentoo. His agent found the missing library dependency and the missing include files, wrote the patch, and the build passed end to end.

How it works

Agent reads the build failure
Finds the missing pkg-config dependency and include files
Writes the patch
Build passes

Why it’s worth knowing

The agent fixed a build failure in software from 1999 by tracing it to one missing dependency and two missing includes.
