Bug 100579 – openldap with useflag perl set does not check if perl was built with useflag minimal set

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Christian Schneider 2005-07-28 04:23:34 UTC]

When emerging openldap with useflags perl and minimal set an error is produced
during compiletime stating that EXTERN.h can not be found.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Build perl with minimal useflag set
2. Try to emerge openlddap
3.

Actual Results:  
Emerge of openldap fails with error:

Expected Results:  
Tell me that perl was built with minimal useflag which apparently removes
EXTERN.h (amongst other things).

Unsetting the minimal useflag and reemerging perl fixed the problem.

[Comment 1 Jakub Moc (RETIRED) 2005-07-28 04:53:20 UTC]

perl with USE="minimal" is not meant for general use on systems that need full
perl. Fixing all the ebuilds depending on perl to check for this flag would be
IMHO just a *lot* of not really useful work. 

[Comment 2 Christian Schneider 2005-07-28 05:37:30 UTC]

Well I did a *lot* of not really usefull work to find out what was going on. The
minimal flag has always been set on this server and for some reason openldap
used to emerge and run. I don't know if it's because of a new perl or
ldap-version, but it stopped working without warning. The least I would expect
is a warning when emerging perl with the minimal flag set.

[Comment 3 Marcin Kryczek (RETIRED) 2005-07-28 06:24:33 UTC]

IMHO it is a bug. according to profiles/use.desc:
"minimal - Install a very minimal build (disables, for example, plugins, fonts, 
most drivers, non-critical features)"

there's nothing about that flag can couse any kind of problems during 
compilation other packages.

openldap and each package with known problems like this, should check if it's 
dependencies are compiled in satisfy way

[Comment 4 Robin Johnson 2005-08-03 13:17:49 UTC]

fixed in cvs.

[Comment 5 Christian Schneider 2005-08-04 01:17:37 UTC]

Cool, Cheers!
