Bug 287073 – sys-devel/libtool-2.2.6a-r00.1 fails to build on OS 10.6 with USE="test"

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo/Alt

[Description Stuart Shelton 2009-09-30 12:42:44 UTC]

With USE="test", the ebuild executes:

    if use test && ! has_version '>sys-devel/binutils-2.19.51'; then
        einfo "Disabling --as-needed, since you got older binutils and you asked"
        einfo "to run tests. With the stricter (older) --as-needed behaviour"
        einfo "you'd be seeing a test failure in test #63; this has been fixed"
        einfo "in the newer version of binutils."
        append-ldflags -Wl,--no-as-needed
    fi

... which confuses the darwin linker, causing the build to fail.

(The platform binutils is actually 'sys-devel/binutils-apple-3.2', so the inverted version test will always return true.)

huh, has_version '>sys-devel/binutils-2.19.51' matches sys-devel/binutils-apple-3.2? thats a different package (!?) is there a virtual in play?

ah ignore, my comment :) i oversaw the '!' *lol*

sys-devel/libtool-2.2.6a-r00.2 also has the same problem...

[Comment 4 Fabian Groffen 2009-10-05 20:52:09 UTC]

as-needed cruft is now fixed, even though it hits a false positive, because it uses this new compile-check to see if as-needed works with the linker

fix was autosynced, so bug should be fixed now
