Bug 448526 – sys-devel/clang-3.2 calls AR and RANLIB directly

• Status: RESOLVED OBSOLETE
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Julian Ospald 2012-12-25 14:20:48 UTC]

ranlib 2> /dev/null /var/tmp/portage/sys-devel/clang-3.2/work/llvm-3.2.src/tools/clang/runtime/compiler-rt/clang_linux/full-i386/i386/libcompiler_rt.a

ar cru 2> /dev/null /var/tmp/portage/sys-devel/clang-3.2/work/llvm-3.2.src/tools/clang/runtime/compiler-rt/clang_linux/tsan-x86_64/x86_64/libcompiler_rt.a /var/tmp/portage/sys-devel/clang-3.2/work/llvm-3.2.src/tools/clang/runtime/compiler-rt/clang_linux/tsan-x86_64/x86_64/SubDir.lib/int_util.o [snip]


this will break cross compiling in a few rare cases since ar/ranlib are not strictly portable

yoop? any progress?

Supposedly will be fixed if we switch to cmake. That would require some upstream fixes to cmake build system though.

If you need this with their custom Makefiles, please provide a patch, preferably against -9999.

not really urgent, just a reminder

[Comment 4 Michał Górny 2013-12-27 23:00:18 UTC]

Well, either cmake then or if I really get angry and have another time to do it, I will hack the build system around enough to build shared libs only. This will also fix the root issue, I guess.

Mass-closing of bugs pinned to old clang versions. Please reopen and update summary appropriately if the bug still applies to a newer version (and hasn't been reported separately for it).
