This is really weird, as diffing the configure of 1.3.1 and 1.3.2 shows absolutely no changes in the poll.h related area. Two patched were added and one removed in the ebuilds when changing version, but they do not seem to modify the ./configure. You could however try to comment the epatch lines in the src_unpack function. Have you also tried to manually untar and run ./configure from there ?
When I manually untar and run './configure' from 1.3.2a archive, it passes OK, so I can run 'make'. However, the portage still gives the same error when I try to emerge 1.3.2a. This is very weird.
It seems that the problem comes from the included patch, then (html2text-1.3.2-darwin.patch). It is designed to use $CC first if it is defined, then g++ and last CC (while the configure for 1.3.1 uses CC first). I made some tries here and for some reason, it seems only able to use g++... I suggest to replace the applying of html2text-1.3.2-darwin.patch by the attached html2text-1.3.2-c++-compiler.patch
Created attachment 69009 [details, diff] Authorize only the use of g++ as c++ compiler
Confirmed here, same problem, and the patch corrects it. Hmm, problem probably comes from the if line, with $CC if $CC isn't defined, it reads as: if -c $tmp_file.C 2>/dev/null And -c file True if file exists and is a character special file. as $tmp_file exists, the if is true, and thus, CXX is defined to null... which of course breaks everything else. better patch enclosed (test for $CC, if it does not exist, then sets it to CC).
Created attachment 70662 [details, diff] Corrected Darwin patch Corrected Darwin patch for CC test
And my patch doesn't work if CC is already set...
Created attachment 70663 [details, diff] Reordered patch Ok, so: - first check if $CC is set, if not set $CC to CC - then try the compilers in this order: g++, cc, $CC, CC
ok, we changed it because otherwise the compiler was not found on OSX. The "Reordered patch" works fine for ppc-macos and also seems to work on my x86 machine. I replaced the patch with the given one in CVS. Thanks a lot.
ohw... please check, if it works for all, then I'll close this bug.
it aparently does.
