I've just opened another bug about libnice that fails to compile.. adding -gstreamer to pidgin's use flags removes libnice dependency... i'm using this use flags for pidgin: USE="aqua gtk ncurses -dbus -debug -doc -eds -gadu -gnutls -groupwise -gstreamer -idn -krb4 -meanwhile -networkmanager -nls -perl -prediction -python -qq -sasl -silc -spell -startup-notification -tcl -tk -xscreensaver -zephyr -zeroconf" unfortunately compilation of pidgin fails with this error: /Users/tha/Gentoo/bin/bash ../../../libtool --silent --tag=CC --mode=link i686-apple-darwin10-gcc -g -O2 -pipe -march=nocona -Wl,-dead_strip_dylibs -o ssl-nss.la -rpath /Users/tha/Gentoo/usr/lib/purple-2 -module -avoid-version ssl_nss_la-ssl-nss.lo -L/Users/tha/Gentoo/usr/lib -lgobject-2.0 -lgmodule-2.0 -lgthread-2.0 -lglib-2.0 -lintl -Wl,-R/Users/tha/Gentoo/usr/lib -L/Users/tha/Gentoo/usr/lib -lssl3 -lsmime3 -lnssutil3 -lnss3 -lplds4 -lplc4 -lnspr4 -lpthread ld: unknown option: -R/Users/tha/Gentoo/usr/lib collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[5]: *** [ssl-nss.la] Error 1 make[5]: Leaving directory `/Users/tha/Gentoo/var/tmp/portage/net-im/pidgin-2.7.2/work/pidgin-2.7.2/libpurple/plugins/ssl' make[4]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 since I do not know the -R option i'm filling this bugreport.. please remove the bug if this some kind of my mistake :) As usual.. since i'm a noob bugreporter any suggestion is appreciated :P Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge pidgin Portage 2.2.01.17086-prefix (prefix/darwin/macos/10.6/x86, gcc-4.2.1, unavailable, 10.4.3 i386) ================================================================= System uname: Darwin-10.4.3-i386-32bit Timestamp of tree: Mon, 01 Nov 2010 01:42:22 +0000 distcc 3.1-toolwhip.1 i386-apple-darwin10.0 [disabled] app-shells/bash: 4.1_p7 dev-lang/python: 2.6.5-r2 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.65-r1 sys-devel/automake: 1.10.3, 1.11.1 sys-devel/binutils: 2.20.51.0.10 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.4.1-r00.2 sys-devel/libtool: 2.2.10 sys-devel/make: 3.81-r2 Repositories: gentoo_prefix ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86-macos" ACCEPT_LICENSE="* -@EULA" CBUILD="i686-apple-darwin10" CFLAGS="-O2 -pipe -march=nocona" CHOST="i686-apple-darwin10" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/ca-certificates.conf /etc/env.d /etc/fonts/fonts.conf /etc/gconf /etc/portage /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/terminfo" CXXFLAGS="" DISTDIR="/Users/tha/Gentoo/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="assume-digests binpkg-logs collision-protect distlocks fixlafiles fixpackages news nostrip parallel-fetch preserve-libs protect-owned sfperms strict unknown-features-warn unmerge-logs unmerge-orphans userfetch" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://distfiles.gentoo.org" LDFLAGS="-Wl,-dead_strip_dylibs" PKGDIR="/Users/tha/Gentoo/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_CONFIGROOT="/Users/tha/Gentoo/" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --stats --timeout=180 --exclude=/distfiles --exclude=/local --exclude=/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/Users/tha/Gentoo/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/Users/tha/Gentoo/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="" SYNC="rsync://rsync.prefix.freens.org/gentoo-portage-prefix" USE="X aqua coreaudio cracklib cxx gtk jpeg mmxext modules ncurses objc objc++ png prefix readline sse sse2 ssl unicode x86-macos zlib" APACHE2_MODULES="actions alias auth_basic authn_alias authn_anon authn_dbm authn_default authn_file authz_dbm authz_default authz_groupfile authz_host authz_owner authz_user autoindex cache cgi cgid dav dav_fs dav_lock deflate dir disk_cache env expires ext_filter file_cache filter headers include info log_config logio mem_cache mime mime_magic negotiation rewrite setenvif speling status unique_id userdir usertrack vhost_alias" COLLECTD_PLUGINS="df interface irq load memory rrdtool swap syslog" ELIBC="Darwin" GPSD_PROTOCOLS="ashtech aivdm earthmate evermore fv18 garmin garmintxt gpsclock itrax mtk3301 nmea ntrip navcom oceanserver oldstyle oncore rtcm104v2 rtcm104v3 sirf superstar2 timing tsip tripmate tnt ubx" INPUT_DEVICES="keyboard mouse" KERNEL="Darwin" LCD_DEVICES="bayrad cfontz cfontz633 glk hd44780 lb216 lcdm001 mtxorb ncurses text" PHP_TARGETS="php5-2" RUBY_TARGETS="ruby18" USERLAND="GNU" XTABLES_ADDONS="quota2 psd pknock lscan length2 ipv4options ipset ipp2p iface geoip fuzzy condition tee tarpit sysrq steal rawnat logmark ipmark dhcpmac delude chaos account" Unset: CPPFLAGS, CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, FFLAGS, INSTALL_MASK, LANG, LC_ALL, LINGUAS, MAKEOPTS, PORTAGE_BUNZIP2_COMMAND, PORTAGE_COMPRESS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS_FLAGS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS
We need to find out where the -R comes from. It's an ELF-linker command, that is not necessary on Darwin in general. In your explorations you can safely remove it to see if that gets you further.
ok! i'll try to manually edit the ebuild to remove the -R and see how far the compile goes... i'll let you know! :)
whoops :P pardon my noobness.. how should I remove the -R flag.. stopping the emerge end editing the working dir of the emerge didn't worked can you give me any hint or point me to a place where to learn something useful? :) when you've the time.. it's not urgent of course... thanks.. ghedamat
test with pidgin-2.7.6, please
Mattia, please, return to us :) Closing while there is no more information to work with.
