Bug 26439 – Baselayout does not compile

• Status: RESOLVED NEEDINFO
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Emanuel Greisen 2003-08-11 17:41:56 UTC]

When I finished the bootstrap.sh during install, and went to "emerge system" the
baselayout did not install.

The error was in the compilation of sysvinit, it said undefinded reference to
"crypt" in sulogin.o.

Changing the "baselayout-1.8.6.8-r1.ebuild" file I added "-lcrypt" to LDFLAGS
instead of the empty string just at the place where sysvinit is to be compiled:

[snip]
                einfo "Building sysvinit..."
                emake CC="${CC:-gcc}" LD="${CC:-gcc}" \
                        LDFLAGS="-lcrypt" || die "problem compiling sysvinit"

                if [ -z "`use bootstrap`" ]
[snip]

That fixed it and the rest of the compilation is running smooth as I type.

Do you have a:

  /usr/lib/libcrypt.a

?

No response.
