Bug 346335 – Emerging sys-apps/grep-2.7 fails during prefix bootstrap process on OSX 10.5.8 PPC

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo/Alt

[Description bitmail 2010-11-21 17:27:53 UTC]

I tried to bootstrap a Gentoo Prefix on a OSX 10.5.8 according to this guide:

http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/gentoo-alt/prefix/bootstrap-macos.xml

System info:

CPU PPC (G4 7450)
XCode 3.1.4 with GCC 4.0.1 (powerpc-apple-darwin9-gcc-4.0.1 (GCC) 4.0.1 (Apple Inc. build 5493))
Macports 1.9.2 installed as well (if that might cause problems).

Everything went as expected (except that I had a message about updating portage using "emerge portage" between step 1.12 and 1.13, which I did), until I came to this point:

USE=-git emerge -u system

27 packages were due to install, 4 installs worked, but the grep-2.7 install failed. Using the command again, 23 packages were due to install (obviously), but the grep-2.7 install still fails all the time thus blocking the whole bootstrapping process.

Reproducible: Always

Actual Results:  
Error message:

Expected Results:  
grep-2.7 should build.

Attaching the build.log; output of 'emerge --info =sys-apps/grep-2.7' and 'emerge -pqv =sys-apps/grep-2.7' commands as well as the ebuild environment.

Well, it's not a fix.

ah, seems enable/disable-nls no longer properly works

I added a patch from upstream to resolve this, thanks!
