Bug 47335 – mjpegtools-1.6.2-r1.ebuild compiles fine with fpic patch on x86

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Heinrich Wendel (RETIRED) 2004-04-09 05:45:16 UTC]

I successfully compiled mjpegtools-1.6.2-r1.ebuild with the fpic patch on two x86 systems and it is the only possibility to use prelink with it. So please add this patch to x86 as well (and maybe mark this version stable ;)).

Please just go ahead and change this as long as you don't break it more than I usually do :-)

Did you do anything about this? Can this bug be closed? About which patch are you talking at all? :-)

Hello? Anybody out there? Which patch?

[Comment 4 Heinrich Wendel (RETIRED) 2004-06-02 07:21:36 UTC]

sorry for forgetting about that, i'm talking about this patch:

mjpegtools-1.6.2-r2.ebuild:
[ "$ARCH" != x86 ] && epatch ${FILESDIR}/${P}-fPIC.patch

but i would like other ppl to test if it compiles fine for them

the patch is useless because you just turn around and run autoreconf write after it thus killing the file you just patched :)

ive ripped a patchset from upstream cvs that builds libmjpegutils.la with libtool and thus we dont have to worry about which arch to apply on or where to shove -fPIC in ;)

update to 1.6.2-r3 !
