Bug 234091 – x11-lib/gtk+-2.12.11 neglects USE flags

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo/Alt

[Description MATSUI Tetsushi 2008-08-06 14:35:38 UTC]

x11-lib/gtk+-2.12.11 sees no USE flags for the configure script.

In my case, I set USE="-X aqua" but the configure fails with missing libX11.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. set some USE flags which should influence the configuration
2. emerge =gtk+-2.12.11
Actual Results:  
With "-X aqua" I got:

checking for X... libraries /Users/tetsushi/Gentoo/usr/lib, headers /Users/tetsushi/Gentoo/usr/include
checking whether -R must be followed by a space... no
checking for gethostbyname... yes
checking for connect... yes
checking for remove... yes
checking for shmat... yes
checking for IceConnectionNumber in -lICE... yes
checking for XOpenDisplay... no
configure: error: *** libX11 not found. Check 'config.log' for more details.

!!! Please attach the following file when seeking support:
!!! /Users/tetsushi/Gentoo/var/tmp/portage/x11-libs/gtk+-2.12.11/work/gtk+-2.12.11/config.log
 * ERROR: x11-libs/gtk+-2.12.11 failed:
 *   econf failed
 * Call stack:
 *               ebuild.sh:  49: <call src_configure>
 *             environment:3065: <call _default_src_configure>
 *             environment: 289: <call econf>
 *               ebuild.sh: 538:                        die "econf failed"


Expected Results:  
be installed without errors.

As call stack in the actual result above shows, the configure script is run
from src_configure.  The all USE flags related settings are done in src_compile
in the ebuild, they make no effects on the econf invokation.  A possible fix is to separate those settings into src_configure.

I'm not sure whether this bug should be of prefix or of main tree (gnome?),
but the most meaningful USE flags are X/aqua on OS X.

Please post the config.log so we can see what ./configure is being invoked with. Thanks.

can you please downgrade your portage (I removed the latest version) and try again?

[Comment 3 MATSUI Tetsushi 2008-08-07 01:34:55 UTC]

Well, I've just tried portage downgrade but it results an error that user id of portage can't be found.  It seems more serious than this... One more downgrade?

And sorry, Jeremy.  Since I hand-edited the ebuild and tried to emerge it, the very log was lost (though I can reproduce it later).

Created attachment 162403 [details]
config.log

This is a reproduced config.log from a failed emerge.

[Comment 5 Fabian Groffen 2008-08-07 08:00:06 UTC]

The portage you use is broken.  If you can't downgrade, please try to bootstrap portage (and only portage) to recover.

[Comment 6 MATSUI Tetsushi 2008-08-07 10:59:19 UTC]

I've done bootstrapping portage, and then have emerged portage-2.2.00.11322.
Now the gtk+ can be installed without any errors.  Thank you.

ok, sorry for the mess.
