Bugzilla Bug 68537

When emerging net-wireless/hostap-driver-0.2.4, emerge fails during compilation
as described below. The kernel is development-sources-2.6.8.1 and -2.6.9, both
return the same failure. The /usr/src/linux symlink is verified correctly. The
machine is runnning ~x86.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.emerge net-wireless/hostap-driver
Actual Results:  
 * Building hostap-driver for kernel version: 2.6.9

Expected Results:  
Emerged correctly.

The hostap-driver-0.2.5 source available from http://hostap.epitest.fi/ can be
built on the same machine without any problems.

What does 'ls -ld /usr/src/linux' say?

Reporter, please answer the above question so we can help resolving the
problem.

# ls -ld /usr/src/linux
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root 20 Oct 22 13:28 /usr/src/linux -> /usr/src/linux-2.6.9

which is not the currently runnung kernel, I wan't to reach the machine over the hostap network card... The 2.6.9, has had a "make oldconfig" and "make && make modules_install && make install" without complaints, where the oldconfig came from the currently running 2.6.8.1 kernel. The ebuild doesn't work with the symlink pointing to /usr/src/linux-2.6.8.1 anymore, though that's the currently running setup!

It is Gentoo policy not to build against the currently running kernel, but to
build against the kernel source found in /usr/src/linux/.

Does the kernel found in /usr/src/linux/ build, install and work as it should?

Please check if net-wireless/hostap-driver-0.2.5 fixes this issue.

I've tried to emerge ver 0.2.5 and looked a little further. The ebuild modifies
the Makefile and while most changes make sense, the line "CC=gcc" is changed to
"CC=". This obviously causes sh to complain about the compile commands,
althought is wasn't clear at first. Note: I've tried the same emerge on another
machine with very similar make.conf (it's a p4 not a p3, and it's got kde
desktop as well) also running ~x86, with the same error. It could be a case of

The version 0.2.4 ebuild used to work some time ago, since that is the
currently running module, but since then, a new portage has come out along with
a lot of other changes.

I've removed the $CC substitution in hostap-driver-0.2.5.ebuild version 1.2.

Wait a little while, emerge --sync, and see if this fixes the problem for you.

0.2.5 is working now. I wonder, should CC be set or is that a change of design
in portage these days?

Reopening

There were some changes in portage, it appears.
