Bug 45810 – cyrus-imap-admin compile problem -fPIC

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Tom Albers 2004-03-26 08:10:21 UTC]

The ebuild cyrus-imap-admin-2.1.14.ebuild does not want to compile. 

After some help from jhuebel I added the rule:
 use amd64 && append-flags -fPIC

Directly after the rules:
    # make depends break with -f... in CFLAGS
    make depend CFLAGS="" || die "make depend problem"

But when compiling it stops with these rules:

Unrecognized argument in LIBS ignored: '-Wl,-rpath,/usr/lib'

This is where jhuebel asked me to file this report.

[Comment 3 Danny van Dyk (RETIRED) 2004-03-26 10:02:47 UTC]

Compiles fine for me with above patch and new ebuild, though the patch has to be applied in src_compile. That's because it directly patches several Makefiles that are automatically created.

Ok, 2nd revision. I hope it works now for everyone...

[Comment 7 Jason Huebel (RETIRED) 2004-03-26 12:44:31 UTC]

Looks like this will take a little more work to implement in portage than I anticipated. It's going to require a new virtual/afs since net-fs/openafs isn't supported on kernel 2.5 or greater (it's built-in now).

[Comment 8 Tom Albers 2004-03-26 13:00:06 UTC]

I do not understand your comment exactly (no need to either), justed wanted you to know that I compiled it with a 2.6.3-rc2-gentoo kernel with the patch and ebuild successfully.

Fixed 2.2.3 in CVS, thanks!
