Bug 23748 – sys-devel/libperl-5.8.0 fails to compile with no sane/informative error (Internal error)

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Henning C. Nielsen 2003-06-30 05:01:28 UTC]

I am in the process of installing Gentoo 1.4 on my Powerpc 7600/132, which I
have done successfully 1 og 2 times before (cant remember). But now I get this
no sence making error and I have no clue what is wrong.
Right now I am trying again with make instead of emake.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge libperl
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
Finding dependencies for util.o.
Finding dependencies for walk.o.

I dont know why it says it cant find gcc. I can run gcc fine from bash and I
have compiled other programs fine sofar. I have only one compiler installed.
Hmm. Very strange, maybe that is part of my problem.

[Comment 1 Henning C. Nielsen 2003-06-30 05:54:27 UTC]

Yay! It works if the ebuild uses make instead of emake on line 227.

Again I dont have any clue why this happened but would appreciate if someone could educate me and bonk me on my head for using some insane setting or something...

[Comment 2 Paul Collins 2003-07-23 13:24:52 UTC]

I also had difficulty getting libperl-5.8.0.ebuild to compile using emake, though my problem came up in sigthread.h
Changed emake to make (to force it to not use distcc) and got successful compile. I suspect that libperl does not like being built in parallel for some reason or another.

[Comment 3 Michael Cummings (RETIRED) 2003-07-23 14:51:16 UTC]

Would anyone be willing to try an altered ebuild? I believe we had (at one point anyway) changed everything to read 

emake || make ||  die 

(note additional "|| make" conditional). I'm not sure where along the line this was removed, would need to read through the CVS log, but would appreciate it if someone can confirm that this fixes their problems. I can supply modified ebuilds if that's easier. Thanks!

no word in a month and a half.
