Bug 251617 – sci-biology/staden-bin contains an internal copy of Tcl/Tk 8.4 and one of zlib

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

[Description Diego Elio Pettenò (RETIRED) 2008-12-19 12:48:48 UTC]

opt/staden/lib/linux-binaries/libtcl8.4.so
   opt/staden/lib/linux-binaries/libtk8.4.so

adler32  /var/tmp/portage/sci-biology/staden-bin-1.7.0/image/opt/staden/lib/linux-binaries/libread.so

I cannot tell which version though since it tries to load libcurl.so.3 that is not in the system (since it's libcurl.so.4 nowadays).

It is probably 8.4.0 version which is bundled into staden sources although somewhere in the *.mk files it refers to 8.4.6.

I have managed to get the ting compiled but because it overrides some function from the tcl/tk in a binary called stash it probably needs really 8.4.0. I do not understand what is going on. Somebody please figure out what is it doing. Currently the sources compile, generate even .ps, .pdf, .html docs for me but binaries crash due to this 'stash' thing.

Please see my upstream bug report at https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1536497&group_id=100316&atid=627058
for more details. Download the sources for 1.7.0, apply my patch and compile it.
To get it really functional is up to you. ;-)

staden-1.7.0.ebuild

Untested ebuild as I have compiled stuff from my shell. I do not know even how to get the original staden-1.5.3.ebuild out of portage cvs so somebody merge these two versions. In theory this ebuild should be helpful.

This might become eventually no issue if bug #311847 (staden-2.0.0) can be compiled from sources. It seems according to README.build in the source archives that is can be compiled on Ubuntu and Fedora, so we just need to make the ebuilds right. :)

Live SVN ebuild of staden is available in bug #311847, staden-2.0.0b8 has all necessary fixes as well, just cannot download it now and am lazy to extract the release from svn manually. Just use the -9999 ebuild.
