In order to build the SunEC provider against the system NSS, it needs access to a number of functions not exposed by the existing installed set. This was reduced to the above in 3.16.1 by https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1075702 The necessary changes are in this version of the ebuild in the java-overlay: http://git.overlays.gentoo.org/gitweb/?p=proj/java.git;a=blob;f=dev-libs/nss/nss-3.16.1.ebuild;h=edad7e44b98e33a1be2d61effb0775e313512f34;hb=bb7ec406bddc9418167472f992431e599d7030b8 Basically, when USE=java is set, the following additions are invoked: if use java ; then cp -L */lib/libfreebl.a "${ED}"/usr/$(get_libdir) || die "copying libs failed" fi if use java ; then local javapc="${ED}"/usr/$(get_libdir)/pkgconfig/nss{,-softokn}.pc cp -L "${ED}"/usr/$(get_libdir)/pkgconfig/nss.pc ${javapc} sed -i -e 's#Libs:#Libs: -lfreebl#' -e 's#Cflags:#Cflags: -I${includedir}/private#' ${javapc} fi if use java ; then insinto /usr/include/nss/private doins private/nss/{blapi,alghmac}.h fi Reproducible: Always
Is there any particular drawback to doing this all the time? I'd rather not add a java use flag.
OK so first-off, I can't parse this: local javapc="${ED}"/usr/$(get_libdir)/pkgconfig/nss{,-softokn}.pc cp -L "${ED}"/usr/$(get_libdir)/pkgconfig/nss.pc ${javapc} sed -i -e [regex] ${javapc} What's the purpose of the {,-softokn} on javapc ? I ran the ebuild and it seems like the nss.pc is simply copied to nss-softokn.pc and then sed'ed, but if that is the intent then javapc could b assigned nss-softokn.pc directly. Also, according to comment#24 on the redhat bug, the software has switched to getting --libs from nss.pc and appending -lfreebl directly now. With that being the case, is nss-softokn.pc necessary anymore? Similarly, should those two headers be installed to /usr/include/nss alongside the rest (since adding the private subdir and an -I/usr/include/nss/private to nss.pc amounts to the same thing anyways)
