Bug 324325 – net-libs/gnutls-2.9.10 fails to build on IRIX

• Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX
• Product: Gentoo/Alt

[Description Stuart Shelton 2010-06-16 15:50:58 UTC]

gnutls needs a modified version of the gnutls-2.9.9 IRIX patch.

Even with this applied, gnutls fails with:

... which looks like a GNU-ism has crept in when trying to replace native functions.

If this is corrected, then the next error is:

Creating documentation for file ../lib/x509_b64.c... Sequence (?<...) not recognized at ./scripts/gdoc line 273, <IN> chunk 306.
gmake[2]: *** [gnutls-api.texi] Error 2

gmake: *** [all] Error 2

... when building the documentation.

The easy solution seems to be to patch the "doc" and "exmaples" SUBDIRS out of Makefile and doc/Makefile respectively.

... and why is documentation being built with USE="-doc"?

Actually, I didn't mean 2.9.9, and the patch is new.  I'll post it shortly once I've sanity-checked it.

GnuTLS 2.9.11 is already available...
If you report the problem to upstream, then maybe it will be fixed before GnuTLS 2.10.

We are sorry to close this bug.  We lack the man-power and devotion to support mips-irix in the tree.
