xterm failes to build against 0.9.30 because getpt is not defined Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: on a 2008 uclibc stage3, emerge xterm Expected Results: for the compile to complete
adding "set_opt UCLIBC_HAS_GETPT y" to the uclibc ebuild solves the problem
Thanks for the report, but I believe the needed functionality is already present in the existing uclibc ebuilds: you can fully customize uclibc configuration using the saveconfig useflag. The features controlled by individual useflags are only very common ones; since it is not practical to provide a useflag for every single uclibc option, things that are less common are intended to be handled by the saveconfig method which gives full control over the .config file. http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.gentoo.devel/45586 Do you agree this covers your case, so it is ok to close this bug?
I tried editing the savedconfig file and then enabling the savedconfig use flag before I edited the ebuild. Editing the savedconfig did not work. After I edited the config and remerged uclibc I looked in the new saved config and the option was commented out again and xterm failed to compile. Maybe I did something wrong and I am willing to test this out again.
