Bug 60132 – Can't bootstrap with glibc-2.3.4.20040808

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Ehud Shabtai 2004-08-12 04:48:14 UTC]

It seems that the Makefile in the manual directory (of glibc) does not check for perl availabilty and so it fails (as in bootsrap I don't have perl yet).


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. bootstrap with ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86"
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
glibc fails to emerge. Bootstrap failed.

Expected Results:  
glibc should have emerged and bootstrap should have finished with success.

I am also having a problem with glibc-2.3.4.20040808, but since you didn't post anything regarding the error, I cannot determine whether I need to file a different bug.

Can you post the exact error you get?

Thanks.

The actual error I get is: "no: command not found".
The fix should be an addition of 'ifneq(no, $PERL) statement in the Makefile of the manual directory.

A simple workaroud until this bug is resolved can be: 'ln -s echo /bin/no'

Finish bootstrap and do: 'rm /bin/no'

sorry, it seems i forgot that the info and manual pages in cvs arent pre-built and the glibc-2.3.3 that we patch against is a CVS tarball. i'll pre-generate the man and info pages later today.

thanks for the error report

sorry, i almost forgot about this bug. i've added pre-generated info pages to the glibc ebuild, that should do it.
