Bug 365613 – baselayout-prefix-1.12.14 fails to compile on bsd

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo/Alt

[Description Fabian Groffen 2011-05-01 19:11:05 UTC]

gcc -I../gnulib -I../gnulib/gllib -DLIBDIR=\"lib\" -c -o rs-misc.o core/misc.c
gcc -L/usr/local/lib -L../gnulib/gllib -L/usr/local/lib -L../gnulib/gllib -o runscript runscript.o rs-misc.o  -lgnu -ldl
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -ldl
make: *** [runscript] Error 1
make: Leaving directory `/usr/home/monet/gentoo/var/tmp/portage/sys-apps/baselayout-prefix-1.12.14/work/baselayout-prefix-1.12.14.1705/src'
 * ERROR: sys-apps/baselayout-prefix-1.12.14 failed (compile phase):
 *   (no error message)

(is this the same failure as on OpenBSD?  Maxim?)

I confirm this on OpenBSD, solution is to drop '-ldl' from gcc line, because dlopen() and friends are builtin into dynamic loader on *BSD. Workaround solutions (sys-libs/libdl from our overlay) cannot be considered as permanent.

Real solution is to make the conditional functional (already done).

On OpenBSD there is no problem with missing libkvm.so?  Is there a /usr/lib/libkvm.so on OpenBSD?

[Comment 3 Maxim Koltsov (RETIRED) 2011-05-01 19:23:41 UTC]

Yes it is, static and shared variants. But i've never met any issue about libkvm, what is it for?

[Comment 4 Fabian Groffen 2011-05-01 19:26:39 UTC]

It's for getting information about processes and stuff.  I committed the fixes in the sources.  Hopefully new rev will fix issues for *BSD bootstraps.

Thanks, Fabian. By the way there's another issue with baselayout on OpenBSD, about some structures from libc afair. I'll file new bug when try emerging baselayout again.
