Bug 4067 – XEmacs configuration failure: -z nocombreloc

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Robert Coie (RETIRED) 2002-06-23 15:48:54 UTC]

The configuration script for XEmacs fails on the PPC architecture with
the "-z nocombreloc" flag being misinterpreted as a file to compile, which
manifests itself as an inability to find the X11 libraries.

xemacs-21.4.8-r1.ebuild patch

This patch simply adds a step to the unpack stage that applies the combreloc
patch.

combreloc-gentoo-ppc.patch

This patch should fix the configuration and build problem.  To avoid
adding complication, both configure.in and configure are patched here.
An alternative would be to patch only configure.in and run autoconf in
the compile stage, which would require a build dependency on autoconf 2.13.

[Comment 3 Robert Coie (RETIRED) 2002-06-23 15:54:03 UTC]

The combreloc-gentoo-ppc patch appears not to cause problems on the x86
architecture.

Patch is applied, test on both arches and comittied to CVS, thanks Robert
(the patch only applies if you are on PPC in the updated build btw)
