Bug 18063 – Link of media-libs/freetype-2.1.2-r2 fails - Missing -c?

• Status: RESOLVED INVALID
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description bdonlan 2003-03-23 17:58:13 UTC]

When I emerge -e system or emerge media-libs/freetype, the link fails, with the
message quoted further down. I am in the process of upgrading from gcc 2.95.x to
3.2 - gcc, libc and bintools are updated, but I need to finish the system upgrade.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge media-libs/freetype

FreeType build system -- automatic system detection

The following settings are used:

  platform                    ansi
  compiler                    gcc
  configuration directory     ./builds/ansi
  configuration rules         ./builds/ansi/ansi.mk

If this does not correspond to your system or settings please remove the file
`config.mk' from this directory then read the INSTALL file for help.

Otherwise, simply type `make' again to build the library.

Expected Results:  
It should have successfully installed.

gcc, glibc, and bintools updated. system not yet updated as freetype is part of
system.

just for fun, clear or disable ccache and retry?

[Comment 2 bdonlan 2003-03-24 20:30:24 UTC]

ccache isn't installed.

[Comment 3 foser (RETIRED) 2003-03-25 07:45:15 UTC]

do you have another gcc version around you can gcc-config switch to ? See if that works. Your compile output is a lot different then mine, i have no idea why.. did you cut things out of the output or something ? I'd like to see the configure steps etc.

Main point is that for me it picks 'unix' as platform and not 'ansi', i don't know why that happens but it's most likely the reason you see it fail.

[Comment 4 bdonlan 2003-03-25 16:52:27 UTC]

That's the entire output. I have gcc 2.95, but as I'm only part-way through a emerge -e system, due to this and another bug, so I don't know if I'll be damaging my system horribly if I change it back.

[Comment 5 foser (RETIRED) 2003-04-01 05:58:16 UTC]

hmm no keep it as it is.. but still it obviously tries to use 3.2.2 which is not good.

I get it you are rebuilding your system with 2.95, but used to have 3.2.2 ?

[Comment 6 bdonlan 2003-04-02 18:11:46 UTC]

No, other way. 2.95 => 3.2

[Comment 7 foser (RETIRED) 2003-04-03 16:02:17 UTC]

hmm did you follow a guide for the gcc transition ?

[Comment 8 foser (RETIRED) 2003-04-23 08:29:09 UTC]

how is things here ? got around it or something ?

[Comment 9 bdonlan 2003-04-23 12:15:52 UTC]

Sorry, I got frustrated by this bug and several others, so I switched to Debian. Maybe I'll use Gentoo sometime, but for now I don't feel it's stable enough.

[Comment 10 foser (RETIRED) 2003-04-23 12:43:46 UTC]

do what you feel is best, but you could've closed the bug.
