[Comment 1 Michael Palimaka (kensington) 2015-03-31 12:58:57 UTC]

I was able to reproduce locally, I guess we need to enforce qtcore:4[${MULTILIB_USEDEP}] to ensure that qmake is available.

[Comment 2 Davide Pesavento (RETIRED) 2015-03-31 13:15:08 UTC]

Actually qttranslations has no reason to be a multilib package, it was just way faster to inherit from qt4-build-multilib at the time, plus it reduces code duplication and simplifies maintenance.

But yes, if the qttranslations ebuild stays multilib, then it needs MULTILIB_USEDEP of course.

[Comment 3 Michael Palimaka (kensington) 2015-03-31 14:06:40 UTC]

Is it legal to set eg. MULTILIB_COMPAT=( abi_x86_64 ) to disable the other ABIs?

[Comment 4 Alexandre Rostovtsev (RETIRED) 2015-03-31 14:47:32 UTC]

I would suggest simply overriding multilib_src_{configure,compile,install} in this one ebuild to be a no-op on non-native abis. Something like

multilib_src_configure() {
	if multilib_is_native_abi; then
		qt4_prepare_env
		qt4_symlink_tools_to_build_dir
		qt4_foreach_target_subdir qt4_qmake
	fi
}

multilib_src_compile() {
	multilib_is_native_abi && qt4_multilib_src_compile
}

multilib_src_install() {
	multilib_is_native_abi && qt4_multilib_src_install
}

And users will thank you for not wasting time on re-generating the same translation files twice.

[Comment 5 Alexandre Rostovtsev (RETIRED) 2015-03-31 15:17:06 UTC]

and same for multilib_src_test of course.

Any Progress?

See above, build it only for your native ABI.

We need the ebuild fixed, so we can proceed with stabilization.

Thanks, fixed in CVS.

+  07 Apr 2015; Michael Palimaka <[e-mail]>
+  qttranslations-4.8.6-r1.ebuild:
+  Only build for native ABI to avoid build failure since only ABI-neutral data
+  is installed wrt bug #545142.
