Bug 253284 – libarchive-2.6.0 fails to emerge when USE="-bzip2 -zlib"

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Javier Villavicencio (RETIRED) 2008-12-31 19:00:46 UTC]

Fails with the following error on both linux and fbsd, while linking bsdcpio:
i686-gentoo-freebsd7.0-gcc -O2 -march=k8 -msse3 -frename-registers -pipe -o .libs/bsdcpio cpio/bsdcpio-cmdline.o cpio/bsdcpio-cpio.o cpio/bsdcpio-err.o cpio/bsdcpio-matching.o cpio/bsdcpio-pathmatch.o  ./.libs/libarchive.so

cpio/bsdcpio-cpio.o: In function `main':

cpio.c:(.text+0x1d44): undefined reference to `archive_write_set_compression_gzip'

gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/app-arch/libarchive-2.6.0/work/libarchive-2.6.0'

Not really useful (having -bzip2 and -zlib) but kinda troublesome when doing catalyst stages.

patch for USE="-bzip2 -zlib"

It seems to work with this patch.

Thanks, fixed and reported upstream (who's going for a different method for 2.6.1).
