Bug 276055 – sys-fs/e2fsprogs-1.41.6-r1 fails to link blkid when static

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo/Alt

[Description Alan Hourihane 2009-07-01 10:18:30 UTC]

The configure test program links against libblkid to test. This works fine on shared library systems as libblkid automatically depends on libuuid. But on static systems it needs explicit linking.

Attached is the files patch for this and the ebuild should be updated accordingly.

added, had to fix the patch to apply, but thanks

this patch actually breaks others with messages like this:

make[2]: Entering directory `/Library/Gentoo/var/tmp/portage/sys-fs/e2fsprogs-1.41.7-r1/work/e2fsprogs-1.41.7/e2fsck'
make[2]: *** No rule to make target `-L/Library/Gentoo/usr/lib', needed by `e2fsck'.  Stop.

reason:

LIBUUID = -L/Library/Gentoo/usr/lib -luuid
DEPLIBBLKID =   $(LIBUUID)
DEPLIBS= $(LIBEXT2FS) $(LIBCOM_ERR) $(DEPLIBBLKID) $(DEPLIBUUID) $(DEPLIBE2P)
e2fsck: $(OBJS)  $(DEPLIBS)

I conditionalised the patch for now.

Please ignore.  It just doesn't work, the patch seems not to cause that.
