Bugzilla Bug 149583

As per subject, the make depend phase of openssl seems to use the makedepend
command (it fails with it not found without it merged).

The command is present in x11-misc/makedepend.

It shouldn't be a fatal failure, but I suppose that the dependency should be
either cleared up or make depend skipped.

doesnt fail for me, but the build obviously tries to run it

guess we'll see how many people complain

From what I can see `makedepend' wont be used if MAKEDEPPROG is set to gcc
which happens in `Configure' if $cc is set to "gcc" -- so I don't believe
x11-misc/makedepend (and its own dependencies) should automatically be made an
unconditional dependency for everyone? Perhaps I'm wrong, but has this been
explored?

I have a server without X, where x11-misc/makedepend and its two dependencies
x11-proto/xproto and x11-misc/util-macros would be the first x11-*/* packages.
I therefore find it pretty strange that openssl pulls these three.

As Paul mentioned this might not be necessary at all. Perhaps this could also
be solved with a USE flag.

make use of userland_GNU

only depend on x11-misc/makedepend when userland is not GNU.

Uh, no, there's no *userland* problem here, I hit the problem on Linux (see the
OS field for the bug), not on Gentoo/FreeBSD.

Most likely the problem is that we don't set CC to gcc but to "${CHOST}-gcc"
instead.

so when CC="gcc" then Configure uses
gcc:-O3::(unknown):::BN_LLONG:::
but CC="i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc" there is no such line.
Would be Creating patch for the "Configure"file the way to go?
(Is there a listing of values for CHOST?)
Or simply set CC to "gcc"?

(In reply to comment #6)
I found files/gentoo.config-0.9.8 which already translate from
i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc to linux-elf .

(In reply to comment #5)
Whats your $CHOST-gcc = ?

This line (1293) in Configure:
       s/^MAKEDEPPROG=.*$/MAKEDEPPROG= $cc/ if $cc eq "gcc";
should be patched to (pseodocode):
       s/^MAKEDEPPROG=.*$/MAKEDEPPROG= $cc/ if $cc ends_with "gcc";
!

Created an attachment (id=98512) [edit]
openssl-0.9.8d-configure.patch

change Configure to "if $cc =~ /gcc$/i".

The new patch sounds useful, although I haven't tested it yet, give me a bit
more of time.

I could complain :-). I am not sure but assume this is the same bug that bites
me:
# emerge -u -v -D -t --newuse world
>>> --tree implies --pretend... adding --pretend to options.
These are the packages that would be merged, in reverse order:
Calculating world dependencies                       C
emerge: there are no ebuilds to satisfy "x11-misc/makedepend".
(dependency required by "dev-libs/openssl-0.9.8d" [ebuild])
!!! Problem resolving dependencies for sys-apps/portage
!!! Depgraph creation failed.

my emerge info is in the attachment

Created an attachment (id=98524) [edit]
This is my emerge info

(From update of attachment 98512 [edit])
this wont work

fixed in cvs
