Building flint 2.3 on a multilib-strict enabled amd64 generated a QA warning and an error: strip: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-strip --strip-unneeded -R .comment -R .GCC.command.line -R .note.gnu.gold-version usr/lib/libflint.a usr/lib/libflint.so ecompressdir: bzip2 -9 /usr/share/doc * QA Notice: The following shared libraries lack a SONAME * /usr/lib/libflint.so Files matching a file type that is not allowed: usr/lib/libflint.so * ERROR: sci-mathematics/flint-2.3 failed: * multilib-strict check failed! * As we can see, it wants to install in usr/lib instead of usr/lib64.
The lack of SONAME might be a bit more work, the "wrong installation directory" part should be easy enough
because I need it shortly I did some work in the sage-on-gentoo overlay. Ugly build system is ugly... I also improved the gentoo prefix support quite a bit since this also can be run on a macos/linux prefix.
Also, we could probably use gmp instead of mpir but that's more work.

I should comment here again. We have an ebuild in the sage-on-gentoo overlay that fix this particular problem. It also uses gmp instead of mpir. multilib fix are in and there are ebuild for the recently released flint 2.4 and 2.4.1.

I mean... not even a link, *sigh*.
Yes the correct way would be for me to b****y finish and send my quizzes in :) Anyway we are at 2.4.3 and good collaboration with upstream https://github.com/cschwan/sage-on-gentoo/tree/master/sci-mathematics/flint has everything.

Adding SONAMES downstream is almost always wrong. https://github.com/wbhart/flint2/issues/74

This should be closed as upstream now provides soname in their latest releases.
The bug has been closed via the following commit(s): https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/commit/?id=39b65a3d5ad4c68459f3d7ce63556937099ac93a commit 39b65a3d5ad4c68459f3d7ce63556937099ac93a Author: Michael Orlitzky <mjo@gentoo.org> AuthorDate: 2020-02-28 16:31:58 +0000 Commit: Michael Orlitzky <mjo@gentoo.org> CommitDate: 2020-02-28 17:20:43 +0000 sci-mathematics/flint: new EAPI=7 revision. This new revision is based off François Bissey's ebuild in the sage-on-gentoo overlay, which has accrued some fixes not present in the ::gentoo version. Of note, it fixes an open build bug, and an unreported issue where 32-bit libraries are detected on a 64-bit system. The update to EAPI=7 required only moving the LaTeX dependencies to BDEPEND. In the process, I updated the LICENSE to LGPL-2.1+ because upstream has done the same. I also looked long and hard for a reason why we have RESTRICT=mirror in the ebuild. Finding none, I have removed the restriction.
