Description:   Opened: 2008-04-22 22:37 0000 
When merging dev-libs/xerces-c-2.8.0 WITH the "iconv" USE flag, but WITHOUT the
"threads" USE flag, compilation fails at the file IconvGNUTransService.cpp with
the following error:

  (C++) IconvGNUTransService.o
IconvGNUTransService.cpp: In function ‘void
xercesc_2_8::reinitIconvGNUMutex()’:
IconvGNUTransService.cpp:433: error: ‘gIconvMutex’ was not declared in this
scope

Any other combination of USE flags results in successful compilation. This
error has already been fixed upstream for 3.0, see

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XERCESC-1709

A modified patch which works with the current 2.8.0 ebuild is attached.

Reproducible: Always




Workaround: merge the package with

USE="-iconv" emerge -1 dev-libs/xerces-c
- or-
USE="threads" emerge -1 dev-libs/xerces-c
