I can acknowledge that there's a bug. Exactly the same here.

I switched to sys-devel/gcc-4.3.2 and recompiled all (system and then world) and this time devhelp emerged fine.

[Comment 8 Gilles Dartiguelongue (RETIRED) 2008-12-11 19:49:43 UTC]

@all, could you rebuild xulrunner and see if devhelp still fails to build ?

I rebuilt xulrunner-1.9.0.4-r1, but got the same result when I then tried to emerge devhelp.

[Comment 10 Vito Louis Sansevero 2009-03-01 07:44:48 UTC]

I had to bump GCC for this as well.

which xulrunner ? On my system I have both 1.8 and 1.9 , I tried recompiling 1.9 and then devhelp but still the same issue.

I also rebuilt xulrunner-1.8 but still the same issue.

The ebuild started linking against libxul-embedding which the .pc file comments say a static lib. Maybe we should just revert the configure option to --with-gecko=xulrunner

[Comment 15 Gilles Dartiguelongue (RETIRED) 2009-03-15 21:09:23 UTC]

that's for xulrunner-1.9 support. Unless you mean that passing xulrunner will link to xulrunner-1.9 too ?

It didn't but I just got it working to link against libxul (the dynamic lib) with patches to configure.in and the ebuild. The patches will follow.
