Bug 167863 – net-fs/samba-3.0.24 links against libcap if present

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description gent_bz 2007-02-21 11:16:34 UTC]

Using $ROOT/$PORTAGE_CONFIGROOT when installing samba-3.0.24, if libcap is installed in / (regardless of whether it is in $ROOT), samba configure will detect and link to libcap.so.1.  If libcap is not installed to $ROOT, samba will error out when started as it cannot find libcap.so.1.

Linking to libcap doesn't appear to be configurable through 'configure --without-libcap' (or whatever), so this bug is probably something to be pushed upstream (not dissimilar to auto-libfam-linking from earlier samba versions).

I did not experience this with <samba-3.0.24

Another point of info: If samba is linked to libcap, emerge --depclean can still remove libcap. revdep-rebuild then wants to rebuild samba. Looks like libcap need to be a dep of samba.

[Comment 2 DrChandra the Gentoo Person 2007-02-26 03:54:09 UTC]

My samba 3.0.24 compiles without libcap present, so no use flag or dep appears to be needed.

Added "caps" USE-flag, together with the following line:
use caps && export ac_cv_header_sys_capability_h=yes || export ac_cv_header_sys_capability_h=no

This should do the job, closing.

Thanks, looks good, nice fix.

You need to add a line to use.local.desc.

[Comment 5 Tiziano Müller (RETIRED) 2007-02-27 08:00:13 UTC]

Nope, caps is in use.desc.

[Comment 6 gent_bz 2007-02-27 08:11:00 UTC]

It is.  Mea culpa.
