Bug 432468 – net-misc/wget-1.14 automagically depends on dev-libs/libpcre

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Yuta SATOH 2012-08-23 16:37:59 UTC]

I was trying to create new stage3 of Gentoo/FreeBSD, but failed wget is causing the error.

error messages is here.

>>> Emerging (21 of 116) app-portage/portage-utils-0.11
>>> Failed to emerge app-portage/portage-utils-0.11, Log file:

!!! Couldn't download 'portage-utils-0.11.tar.xz'. Aborting.

When I created in July, did not have this problem.
And I noticed that wget has been version bump recently.

wget-1.13.4 # grep -r pcre *
Nothing is displayed

wget-1.14 # grep -r pcre *
configure:ac_fn_c_check_header_mongrel "$LINENO" "pcre.h" "ac_cv_header_pcre_h" "$ac_includes_default"
configure:if test "x$ac_cv_header_pcre_h" = xyes; then :
configure:  { $as_echo "$as_me:${as_lineno-$LINENO}: checking for pcre_compile in -lpcre" >&5
configure:$as_echo_n "checking for pcre_compile in -lpcre... " >&6; }
configure:if ${ac_cv_lib_pcre_pcre_compile+:} false; then :
configure:LIBS="-lpcre  $LIBS"

<snip>


FYI, stage1,2 don't have libpcre.

# find . -name libpcre.so.1
./stage1-amd64-fbsd-9.1-20120728/lib64/libpcre.so.1
./stage3-amd64-fbsd-9.1-20120728/lib64/libpcre.so.1



Reproducible: Always




I believe the problem is solved add DEPEND to ebuild of wget, 
or add libpcre to profiles/default/bsd/fbsd/packages.build.

configure.ac:

AC_CHECK_HEADER(pcre.h,
                AC_CHECK_LIB(pcre, pcre_compile,
                  [LIBS="${LIBS} -lpcre"
                   AC_DEFINE([HAVE_LIBPCRE], 1,
                             [Define if libpcre is available.])
                  ])
)

should be all set now in the tree; thanks for the report!

Is there some good reason for not enabling USE uuid by default? It is enabled upstream.

(In reply to comment #3)

uuid is used in only one (uncommon) file format, and wget has a simple fallback so it's functionality the same
