dev-lang/perl-5.8.8-r5 build log

This is the build log.  It also happens when I bootstrap a new prefix environment.
Comment 2 Xiao-Yong JIN 2008-09-09 02:39:10 UTC
There is something wrong with the following lines in build log.

--8<--
Where is your C library? [/lib/libc-2.3.4.so]  
Extracting names from the following file for later perusal:
        /lib/libc-2.3.4.so
This may take a while....done.
<dld.h> NOT found.
dlopen() NOT found.
Do you wish to use dynamic loading? [n]  
--8<--

Command `file' says that this is only 32bit:

/lib/libc-2.3.4.so: ELF 32-bit LSB shared object, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), not stripped

Those 64bit libraries in my system actually reside in /lib64 and /usr/lib64.

/lib64/libc-2.3.4.so: ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, AMD x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), not stripped


Previous version of perl compiles fine in my system, so presumably the developers changed the ebuild file a bit?

I looked in the ebuild.  Line 302 reads,

    myconf "-Dlibpth=${EPREFIX}/$(get_libdir) ${EPREFIX}/usr/$(get_libdir) /$(get_libdir) /usr/$(get_libdir)"

I believe as gentoo convention, lib is a symlink to lib64, $(get_libdir) returns lib is reasonable.  But my system apparently has a different convention as gentoo does.  So what can I do?  For now, I manually put lib64 there, so it reads,

    myconf "-Dlibpth=${EPREFIX}/$(get_libdir) ${EPREFIX}/usr/$(get_libdir) /lib64 /usr/lib64"

And it solved my problem.

So now, what do we want to do with this issue?  I guess this kind of problem might exist in other ebuilds as well.  Do you guys know a general solution?

Hence you happen to be on a distro that defaults to a certain word-size, but doesn't align the default library directories (/usr/lib and /lib) to that word-size.  In other words: your compiler defaults to 64-bits objects, but your lib directory contains 32-bits objects.  Great.

It hasn't changed as far as I'm aware.

Yes, Gentoo makes sure that /lib eventually points to a place where objects are stored with the same word-size as the compiler produces by default.

Maybe we shouldn't add host libpaths at all, or just add all of them (lib lib32 lib64).  What happens if you omit the /lib64 and /usr/lib64?  Does it find your libc?  Do other programs compile correctly?

Depends entirely on if this problem extends beyond perl or not.  If so, we have a huge problem (linker wrapper should catch up then), if not we just need to find a way to fix the perl ebuild for everyone.

Interesting.  I started using prefix portage last year, and things went pretty smooth then.  Possibly there is a change in portage broke it.  Actually, I haven't upgrade for a while and I just changed to rsync server from the old svn one.  So I thought I might broke something with the manual upgrade of portage tree, and I tried a new bootstrap, and that failed, either.

If I omit the /lib64 and /usr/lib64, perl finds /lib/libc-2.3.4.so and it breaks.  So I guess perl doesn't know about /lib64 at all.

So far, everything else compiles correctly.  I'll file a bug report if I found other broken.
Comment 5 Fabian Groffen gentoo-dev 2008-09-10 08:40:43 UTC
What changed is that Prefix doesn't do lib64 stuff any more.  It's always lib, with as effect that get_libdir always returns "lib" in Prefix.

I applied the following patch to the perl ebuild, does that work for you?

It works for me.  You can consider this bug to be fixed, if it doesn't break other systems.

fixed, thanks
