The goal is to get boost working on amd64. With the ebuild hacked to accept ~amd64, dev-libs/boost-1.30.2 fails to build on amd64 with the following error: /usr/sbin/ebuild.sh: line 46: ./tools/build/jam_src/bin.linuxamd64/bjam: No such file or directory * Don't worry if there are a few (probably 6) failures above. * Some targets merely need to be combined. Here goes: /usr/sbin/ebuild.sh: line 56: ./tools/build/jam_src/bin.linuxamd64/bjam: No such file or directory !!! ERROR: dev-libs/boost-1.30.2 failed. !!! Function src_compile, Line 59, Exitcode 127 !!! Failed to build boost libraries. The obvious fix (related to http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13754) is to change the patch in the ebuild to use bin.linux instead of bin.linux${ARCH} for amd64. When this is done (just took out the three instances of ${ARCH}), the build fails much later with: gcc-Link-action libs/test/build/bin/libboost_unit_test_framework.so/gcc/debug/runtime-link-static/shared-linkable-true/threading-multi/libboost_unit_test_framework.so /usr/lib/gcc-lib/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/3.3.1/../../../../x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: /usr/lib/gcc-lib/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/3.3.1/crtbeginT.o: relocation R_X86_64_32 can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC /usr/lib/gcc-lib/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/3.3.1/crtbeginT.o: could not read symbols: Bad value collect2: ld returned 1 exit status Chmod1 libs/test/build/bin/libboost_unit_test_framework.so/gcc/debug/runtime-link-static/shared-linkable-true/threading-multi/libboost_unit_test_framework.so chmod: failed to get attributes of `libs/test/build/bin/libboost_unit_test_framework.so/gcc/debug/runtime-link-static/shared-linkable-true/threading-multi/libboost_unit_test_framework.so': No such file or directory chmod 755 libs/test/build/bin/libboost_unit_test_framework.so/gcc/debug/runtime-link-static/shared-linkable-true/threading-multi/libboost_unit_test_framework.so ...failed Chmod1 libs/test/build/bin/libboost_unit_test_framework.so/gcc/debug/runtime-link-static/shared-linkable-true/threading-multi/libboost_unit_test_framework.so... ...removing libs/test/build/bin/libboost_unit_test_framework.so/gcc/debug/runtime-link-static/shared-linkable-true/threading-multi/libboost_unit_test_framework.so ...failed updating 6 targets... ...updated 6 targets... !!! ERROR: dev-libs/boost-1.30.2 failed. !!! Function src_compile, Line 59, Exitcode 1 !!! Failed to build boost libraries. So, boost needs to be compiled with -fPIC on amd64, and the ebuild needs to be modified to not use bin.linux${ARCH} on amd64, or to add a bin.linuxamd64 directory.
In CVS, thanks!
