Bug 117067 – mail-filter/rblcheck-1.5 works on amd64 with a patch

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Cliff Cunnington 2005-12-29 04:04:10 UTC]

Overview Description: 
mail-filter/rblcheck fails to emerge on AMD64 due to upstream's platform-specific ./configure script.

Reproducible: always

Steps to reproduce:
1. echo '=mail-filter/rblcheck-1.5 x86' > /etc/portage/package.keywords
2. emerge -pv "=mail-filter/rblcheck-1.5"
3. ./configure script halts with fatal error.

Actual results:
(snip)
checking for libc.h... no
checking for working const... yes
checking for res_query... no
checking for res_query in -lresolv... no
checking for res_query in -lbind... no
configure: error: cannot locate res_query function
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop.

!!! ERROR: mail-filter/rblcheck-1.5 failed.


Additional information:
A fix for this problem was posted by Paul Howarth to fedora-extras list: https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-extras-list/2005-July/msg00038.html


Fix:
1. Apply attached patch(es) to mail-filter/rblcheck-1.5(-rX) ebuild.
2. ebuild <ebuild> digest && emerge
3. mail-filter/rblcheck-1.5(-rX) works on amd64 platform

Created attachment 75707 [details, diff]
Ebuild patch to enable epatch

1. Make a copy of ebuild (e.g. rblcheck-1.5-r1.ebuild) and apply this patch to it.
2. Run 'ebuild rblcheck-1.5-r1.ebuild digest' (after adding the configure script patch to files/).
3. rblcheck will now emerge and run on AMD64 platform.
