busybox-1.20.2.ebuild.diff

this is not correct for many reasons
Comment 4 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2012-10-02 19:28:00 UTC
there is no selinux-2.1.12 in the tree that i can see
Comment 5 Sven Vermeulen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2012-10-03 20:20:54 UTC
libselinux-2.1.12 is in hardened-dev overlay for now.

libpcre is marked as a dependency, and I had to include "-lpcre" in the LDFLAGS to build it correctly, but that should be set in the ebuild for now too.

Is the fix you need something we can include in the libselinux ebuild instead (as its the cause and target of failure)?
Comment 6 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2012-10-03 20:47:13 UTC
(In reply to comment #5)

no ebuild should be hardcoding -lpcre.  we should be going through pkg-config.
i can update busybox to use that instead.
Comment 7 Sven Vermeulen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2012-10-06 14:16:17 UTC
I surely can update the libselinux ebuild for this. Is the following then ok?

Comment 8 Jory A. Pratt gentoo-dev 2012-10-08 15:56:05 UTC
Couldn't busybox be built to use the shared libs instead of static? I thought we had the ability to pass -static to the linker to accomplish this.
Comment 9 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2012-10-09 21:49:18 UTC
(In reply to comment #7)

you should use $(tc-getPKG_CONFIG) and not "pkg-config"

however, what i meant was for the libselinux.pc file itself to get fixed.  atm it only says:
  Requires.private: libsepol

that should instead be:
  Requires.private: libsepol libpcre

once that is fixed, doing `pkg-config libselinux` will return the correct results so other packages will "just work" and not incorrectly hardcode -lpcre in their own build setups.
Comment 10 Sven Vermeulen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2012-10-14 12:32:54 UTC
I notice that the pkg-config setup also has a Libs: entry, should that too be updated? Like so?

-Requires.private: libsepol
-Libs: -L${libdir} -lselinux
+Requires.private: libsepol libpcre
+Libs: -L${libdir} -lselinux -lpcr
Comment 11 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2012-10-14 18:02:22 UTC
(In reply to comment #10)

no.  just update Requires.private.
Comment 12 Sven Vermeulen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2012-10-19 18:41:37 UTC
sys-libs/libselinux-2.1.12-r1 in hardened-dev overlay, uses tc-getPKG_CONFIG and has libpcre in the Requires.private part of libselinux.pc
Comment 13 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2012-10-20 16:15:47 UTC
*** Bug 439078 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Comment 15 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2012-10-22 02:29:24 UTC
(In reply to comment #12)

btw, i see that 2.1.12 was merged to the main tree sans the .pc fix, so this is going to start biting people more and basically won't be fixable until 2.1.12-r1 is added.
Comment 16 Sven Vermeulen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2012-10-28 14:15:49 UTC
I still get a related failure:

Yet my libselinux.pc file on the system only mentions libpcre in the Requires.private part. Build log will be attached hereafter.

build log for failed busybox installation (for libpcre)
Comment 18 Sven Vermeulen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2012-10-28 14:18:12 UTC
I also think the failure is because libpcre doesn't provide a libpcre.a file...

(In reply to comment #18)

you need to update libselinux to RDEPEND on libpcre[static-libs] when libselinux itself is built with USE=static-libs
Comment 20 Sven Vermeulen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2012-10-28 18:14:32 UTC
Okay, libselinux currently doesn't listen to the static-libs USE flag, but I'll add it to IUSE and use libpcre[static-libs?] within the RDEPEND variable.

sounds like a good time to add USE=static-libs support to libselinux so it doesn't install libselinux.a
Comment 22 Sven Vermeulen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2012-10-28 21:13:40 UTC
Ok, I remove libselinux.a if USE="static-libs" isn't set, and depend on libpcre[static-libs?]. Having built with USE="static-libs" it pulls in libpcre[static-libs], and busybox installs correctly.

However, when building with USE="-static-libs", it removes the libselinux.a file (I just rm the file in the src_install phase) but busybox still fails to build on it with the error message:

BTW, if busybox isn't built with USE="static", why does it call emake CONFIG_STATIC=y busybox? I tried it with CONFIG_STATIC=n and it builds (but haven't tested the results).

(In reply to comment #22)

busybox always provides a static rescue shell regardless of USE=static.  i can update the ebuild's DEPEND to pull in the right selinux USE settings.

Ok, updated libselinux-2.12.1-r1 committed to main tree. 

@SpanKY/vapier: yes, depending on libselinux[static-libs] should fix the failures

Works for me.
