While trying to compile hdf5 with c++ support (cxx USE flag) I noticed that the parameters were being incorrectly passed to the configure script giving the following error: ./configure --prefix=/usr --host=i686-pc-linux-gnu --mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info --datadir=/usr/share --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var/lib --prefix=/usr --enable-zlib --enable-fortran --disable-parallel --with-ssl --enable-linux-lfs --sysconfdir=/etc --infodir=/usr/share/info --libdir=/usr/lib --mandir=/usr/share/man --enable-shared --with-pic --enable-cxx --with-pthread --enable-threadsafe --enable-production --build=i686-pc-linux-gnu configure: WARNING: you should use --build, --host, --target configure: WARNING: invalid host type: --enable-cxx --with-pthread --enable-threadsafe --enable-production I changed sci-libs/hdf5-1.6.6.ebuild:144 from "${myconf}" || die "configure failed" to ${myconf} || die "configure failed" and now it compiles successfully. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge sci-libs/hdf5 2. 3. Actual Results: c++ support not compiled/installed. Expected Results: It should have compiled support for c++ and installed the headers, examples, etc.
Thanks much for the note. I just fixed this in portage cvs. Best, Markus
