Bug 31493 – app-arch/upx upx ebuild 1.24 (from sources)

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Daniel Black (RETIRED) 2003-10-19 05:33:22 UTC]

This is an app-arch/upx that compiles from source rather than relying on the 
binary distribution. It still does a few wonkey things like forcing flags to 
-march=i386 -mcpu=i586 on i386 architectures. Attached also is the ebuild for 
app-arch/ucl-1.01 the compression library that it uses. 
 
ucl-1.01 claims to support any 32 bit integer platform. upx is a bit more 
vague. 68000 and x86 are mentioned. 68k support requires the assembler 
http://upx.sourceforge.net/download/tools/a68k-2.71-mfx2.tar.gz that I have 
not even attempted to impliement into the ebuild. 
 
Tested on x86 platform only.

Thanks for the ebuilds Daniel. :)

There is already an ebuild for ucl hidden away in dev-libs/ucl.
I've committed the upx ebuild (with a few changes) to cvs as
app-arch/upx-ucl-1.24 since it shouldn't be considered as a
replacement for app-arch/upx; upx-ucl contains inferior compression
routines than upx (which uses the closed-source npv libraries.)
Fortunately they are both inter-operable and can be used as
drop-ins for each other.

The main changes I've made are:

- upx & upx-ucl will block each other since they both share the same
  manpage.
- upx-ucl doesn't need nasm as a dependency since the assembler is
  only needed when compiling the stub assembly sources.
- upx-ucl will compile using CFLAGS specified in make.conf
