Bug 446202 – sys-fs/mtd-utils-1.5.0 does not respect env AR/CC/RANLIB

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Ambroz Bizjak 2012-12-06 01:55:05 UTC]

It appears that mtd-utils ignores CC.

This is a problem when cross-compiling using my "cross-emerge-ng" tool which sets CC to a wrapper script that calls the compiler with the "--sysroot" option. This allows building a complete system into a folder outside of /usr/CHOST. (more info at http://code.google.com/p/ambro-cross-overlay/ )

Reproducible: Always

build log

The build fails because zlib.h is not found, because --sysroot is not being passed to the compiler, because CC is being ignored.

Fixes passing CC using a make argument.

Could you stop CCing random people OR at the very least give a good reason to do so, please. Thanks.

code currently relies on $CHOST only

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