Bug 109389 – mldonkey-2.6.5 doesn't start returning "Aborted" message

• Status: RESOLVED LATER
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Laurento Frittella (mrfree) 2005-10-15 12:24:43 UTC]

mldonkey-2.6.5 doesn't start and log file contains this messages:

2005/10/15 21:11:31 Starting MLDonkey 2.6.5 ...
2005/10/15 21:11:31 Language IT, locale ISO-8859-15
2005/10/15 21:11:31 MLDonkey is working in /home/mrfree/.mldonkey
2005/10/15 21:11:31 [DNS] Resolving [firetux] ...
Abortito ---> (Aborted in Italian)

The strange thing is: if I compile the same sources with the same configure
parameters used in the ebuild, the binary mlnet obtained works well!!!

After disabling 'threads' and 'gd' useflags, I've tryed to modify the ebuild...
- commenting out 'export OCAMLRUNPARAM="l=256M"'
- adding 'emake -j1' insead of 'emake'
- stripping out '-fomit-frame-pointer' cflag (I've read a post in mldonkey forum
about this)

...but nothing to do... It doesn't work :(

please: try to recompile mldonkey with empty CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS

[Comment 2 Laurento Frittella (mrfree) 2005-10-23 13:39:46 UTC]

Created attachment 71304 [details]
net-p2p/mldonkey-2.6.5-r1.ebuild

Ok... I need to strip -fomit-frame-pointer flag: attached ebuild uses
flag-o-matic to do that.

PS: probably in my previous tests I've made some mistakes ;)

hardened guys: could it becouse of hardened environment? i can't reproduce that 
on normaln gentoo instalations

Re comment #3
Hey in general mldonkey is ocaml stuff which itself always leads to miscompiles
when attempting to harden (PIC/PIE/SSP problems). 

It will fail other QA problems (over 200000 qa problems at that) 
as you can see in another bug thats assigned to net-p2p right now for the same 
package.

In short the pkg is not really hardenable at this time, not atleast without 
reworking the ocaml pkg to produce hardened by default.

i suppose it's best to mark it as depending on 110260 and resolve withe the same 
status...
