• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Guenther Brunthaler 2010-05-16 18:58:52 UTC]

When trying to

$ USE=doc emerge -1 =gpe-base/libeventdb-0.90

the build fails with an error message; see related bug # 320029 for more details.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
See above

Actual Results:  
Build failure

Expected Results:

When emerged without the doc USE flag, the build finished without problems.

I cannot reproduce this one.

Does it build fine for you with
MAKEOPTS="-j1" USE="doc" emerge -1 =gpe-base/libeventdb-0.90

No, this time the -j1 didn't do the magic trick... it still does not build.

I'll attach the build logs etc. for your reference.

[Comment 6 Guenther Brunthaler 2010-05-26 13:15:51 UTC]

I was using the USE flags "doc" as well as "nls". My locale is

LANG=de_AT.utf8

Perhaps the problem is NLS-related? The locale might have some impact on document content generation.

from your build.log:
gtk-doc: Linking scanner
libtool: link: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc -I/usr/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/lib64/glib-2.0/include -o libeventdb-scan .libs/libeventdb-scan.o  /usr/lib64/libgobject-2.0.so -L/usr/lib64 /usr/lib64/libglib-2.0.so /usr/lib64/libsqlite.so -leventdb 
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/4.3.4/../../../../x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: cannot find -leventdb
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
- -

Here is the problem.. Since I already had libeventdb installed on the system, the linker was using /usr/lib64/libeventdb.so to build scanner.

If you do
USE="-doc" emerge -1 libeventdb
USE="doc" emerge -1 libeventdb

it will work.

But this is wrong, wrong wrong. I'll try to come up with a fix and inform upstream about this.

It is fixed on the portage tree.

Thanks for reporting.
