while emerging ghostscript-afpl-8.15 / ghostscript-gnu-8.16 I ran into the following error gcc -DHAVE_MKSTEMP -DHAVE_HYPOT -O2 -fPIC -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations - Wmissing-prototypes -Wcast-qual -Wwrite-strings -fno-builtin -fno-common -DHAVE_STDINT_H - DGX_COLOR_INDEX_TYPE="unsigned long long" -O2 -pipe -I./src -I./obj/../soobj -I./obj/../soobj -I./ src -o ./obj/../soobj/iconfig.o -c ./obj/../soobj/iconfig.c gcc -DHAVE_MKSTEMP -DHAVE_HYPOT -O2 -fPIC -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations - Wmissing-prototypes -Wcast-qual -Wwrite-strings -fno-builtin -fno-common -DHAVE_STDINT_H - DGX_COLOR_INDEX_TYPE="unsigned long long" -O2 -pipe -I./src -I./obj/../soobj -I./obj/../soobj -I./ src -o ./obj/../soobj/iccinit0.o -c ./src/iccinit0.c ./obj/../soobj/echogs -w ./obj/../soobj/ldt.tr -n - gcc -fPIC -shared -Wl,-soname=libgs.so.8 -o ./ bin/../sobin/libgs.so.8.15 ./obj/../soobj/echogs -a ./obj/../soobj/ldt.tr -n -s ./obj/../soobj/gs.o -s cat ./obj/../soobj/ld.tr >>./obj/../soobj/ldt.tr ./obj/../soobj/echogs -a ./obj/../soobj/ldt.tr -s - -lm if [ x != x ]; then LD_RUN_PATH=; export LD_RUN_PATH; fi; \ XCFLAGS= XINCLUDE= XLDFLAGS= XLIBDIRS= XLIBS= \ FEATURE_DEVS= DEVICE_DEVS= DEVICE_DEVS1= DEVICE_DEVS2= DEVICE_DEVS3= \ DEVICE_DEVS4= DEVICE_DEVS5= DEVICE_DEVS6= DEVICE_DEVS7= DEVICE_DEVS8= \ DEVICE_DEVS9= DEVICE_DEVS10= DEVICE_DEVS11= DEVICE_DEVS12= \ DEVICE_DEVS13= DEVICE_DEVS14= DEVICE_DEVS15= DEVICE_DEVS16= \ DEVICE_DEVS17= DEVICE_DEVS18= DEVICE_DEVS19= DEVICE_DEVS20= \ /bin/sh <./obj/../soobj/ldt.tr powerpc-apple-darwin8-gcc-4.0.0: unrecognized option `-shared' /usr/bin/ld: unknown flag: -soname=libgs.so.8 collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[1]: *** [bin/../sobin/libgs.so.8.15] Error 1 make: *** [so] Error 2 !!!

the problematic part is the "make so" in the ebuild. This task calls $WORKDIR/work/ghostscript-8.15/soobj/ldt.tr The offending line is gcc -fPIC -shared -Wl,-soname=libgs.so.8 -o ./bin/../sobin/libgs.so.8.15 ./obj/../soobj/gs.o ./obj/../ soobj/gp_getnv.o \ instead possibly something like the following should be called (if ppc-macos) gcc -fPIC -dynamic -dynamiclib -install_name libgs.dylib.8 -o ./bin/../sobin/libgs.dylib.8.15 ./obj/../ soobj/gs.o ./obj/../soobj/gp_getnv.o \

The real problem seems to be that "make so" somehow builds a.so file using the src/unix-dll.mak Instead, it should possibly be called a macos specific "make dylib", which should be defined in src/ macos-dll.mak
Created attachment 69657 [details, diff] possible patch to create MacOS dylibs instead of Linux so's

the problem persists in ghostscript-gnu and ghostscript-gpl.
we have ghostscript-esp in the tree, so I close this bug for later when someone feels like cooking a patch.
