See http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=5964031&forum_id=7093. The upstream bug (with patch) seems to be affecting anjuta-1.2.2, making it quite useless on PPC. This version should be masked for both ~ppc and ppc . Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Run any command from the IDE, such as make 2. 3. Actual Results: Short warning; ** (anjuta:25603): WARNING **: Cannot execute command: "make -k" nothing results Expected Results: Command should have been parsed and executed. Patch from Debian list. Has been applied upstream. Versions 1,2,3 and 2.0.x ebuilds in the pipeline (?), but are not in portage.
Anjuta 1.2.4 is now in portage, so my report is subsumed. Note that the defect described as "Static Linking with wxGTK" at http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=7211626&forum_id=7092 is still in; but this may be Anjuta's problem - The generated configure.in contains this macro: if test "$wxWin" != 1; then AC_MSG_ERROR([ wxWindows must be installed on your system. Please check that wx-config is in path, the directory where wxWindows libraries are installed (returned by 'wx-config --libs' or 'wx-config --static --libs' command) is in LD_LIBRARY_PATH or equivalent variable and wxWindows version is 2.3.2 or above. ]) else dnl Quick hack until wx-config does it ac_save_LIBS=$LIBS ac_save_CXXFLAGS=$CXXFLAGS LIBS=$WX_LIBS CXXFLAGS=$WX_CXXFLAGS AC_LANG_SAVE AC_LANG_CPLUSPLUS AC_TRY_LINK([#include <wx/wx.h>], [wxString test=""], ,[WX_LIBS=$WX_LIBS_STATIC]) AC_LANG_RESTORE LIBS=$ac_save_LIBS CXXFLAGS=$ac_save_CXXFLAGS fi which appears to always select WX_LIBS_STATIC
