Bug 185252 – dev-libs/expat-2.0.0 needs epunt_cxx

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Laurence Withers 2007-07-13 23:36:24 UTC]

dev-libs/expat-2.0.0 does not compile if there is no C++ compiler on the system. I got around this by adding an epunt_cxx to the ebuild's src_unpack():

src_unpack() {
        unpack ${A}
        cd "${S}"
        epatch ${FILESDIR}/${P}-test-64bit.patch
        epatch ${FILESDIR}/${P}-test-cpp.patch
        elibtoolize
        epunt_cxx
}

[-    ] nocxx - Disable support for C++ (DON'T USE THIS UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING) 

Anything that should be clarified there?

[Comment 2 Laurence Withers 2007-07-14 00:04:13 UTC]

Nope, nothing needs to be clarified. I assume that the epunt_cxx function exists for exactly this purpose, and that it's helpful to report those cases where it is needed so that others can benefit. Apologies if not.

doesn't sound like a crazy request so I added that to 2.0.1-r1 without a bump. Thanks for the report.
