However, the ebuild required a little extra work to get it to work correctly; I had to unmask another package and add -fPIC to my CFLAGS in order to get it to compile properly. Pike depends on dev-lib/nettle-1.10 to work. I had to add ~amd64 to the keywords to emerge it, and once I had it still wouldn't link correctly against pike until I re-emerged it with: CFLAGS="-fPIC -O2" emerge nettle I was then able to use: CFLAGS="-fPIC -O2" emerge pike ...and pike compiled and installed. There were a few warnings during the install process, but they indicated that they were non-fatal errors. In any event, pike runs all of the sample programs from http://pike.ida.liu.se/ that I've tried. I'm no ebuild expert or I would submit some kind of patch.

I emerged it so I could use mkdvd.pike. I have now run that successfully and made a good DVD. I suggest that the -fPIC be added to the two ebuilds and they be unmasked for amd64 scandium@gentoo.org 2004-07-22 08:35:07 0000 I'll test nettle and pike (+deps, which all are fortunatly already x86_64ified ;) shortly on amd64, and eventuall mark them ~. scandium@gentoo.org 2004-07-23 13:40:25 0000 I added ~amd64 to the nettle ebuild, including the -fPIC part. Can anybody who take a look if we really need -fPIC for pike, too? I just built it and had no problems without -fPIC. scandium@gentoo.org 2004-07-23 13:42:15 0000 duh, I think this bug is cursed, in every comment I write there is at least one spelling or grammar mistake ;) slarti@gentoo.org 2004-08-15 17:11:14 0000 Tested it out, it's working well. Fixed in CVS. Thanks for reporting.
