Bug 31670 – nessus-core-2.0.8a && USE="-tcpd" compile FAILED

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Bash 2003-10-21 06:39:25 UTC]

I can't emerge nessus-core-2.0.8a without TCPD wrappers.
`nessus-core-2.0.8a.ebuild' conatain this string:
myconf="${myconf} `use_enable tcpd tcpwrappers`"
that with USE="-tcpd" produse "${myconf} --disable-tcpwrappers", but ./configure
of nessus-core packet can't correctly understand this configure flags.
But if i use "${myconf} --without-tcpwrappers" or only just "${myconf}" (nothing
about wrappers) all going corectly.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.USE="-tcpd" emerge nessus-core
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
configure: error: The switch --enable-tcpwrappers has been set but your system
lacks libwrap !

Expected Results:  
emerged nessus-core

see attach.

[Comment 5 Seemant Kulleen (RETIRED) 2003-10-21 16:07:47 UTC]

should be use_with instead of use_enable

[Comment 6 Patrick Kursawe (RETIRED) 2003-10-21 23:23:39 UTC]

It's not that easy, it's rather strange.
configure --help says you should use --enable-tcpwrappers.
When you use --disable-tcpwrappers, it will treat this exactly like --enable-tcpwrappers.
Seems the test in the configure script

# Check whether --enable-tcpwrappers or --disable-tcpwrappers was given.
if test "${enable_tcpwrappers+set}" = set; then
  enableval="$enable_tcpwrappers"
  libwrap="-lwrap"
fi

does not what it's supposed to do.

--with-tcpwrappers or --without-tcpwrappers will both result in no tcpwrappers
support.

Should be fixed in portage soon, no revision bump.
I'll try to report this upstream.
