Without use flag 'static' everything compiles fine, but I would like a static build :-) Also doesn't work for older ebuilds ob pbzip2. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. USE=static emerge -1 pbzip2 2. watch it fail Expected Results: Compile and built a static version of pbzip2
I found the reason why compiling fails: If you want to be able to emerge pbzip2 with the use flag 'static' you need to already have emerged app-arch/bzip2 with use flag 'static-libs' otherwise it won't work because pbzip2 seems to needs those static libs. Could someone please add this as a requirement to the pbzip2 ebuild so emerge can then complain that the use flag for bzip2 needs to be changed when trying to emerge pbzip2 with USE="static"? That would be much better than failing with a strange compiler error :) Thanks!
Fixed in CVS a few weeks ago.
