Bug 459146 – dev-ruby/json-1.6.8 using old CFLAGS

• Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Richard Freeman 2013-02-25 12:38:00 UTC]

This one is a bit bizarre.  Building dev-ruby/json-1.6.8 fails because the -combine flag is not recognized.  However, I removed that flag from my CFLAG a while back during a GCC upgrade.  Looking at the flags it is using it includes flags that I haven't used in quite a while.  Is it somehow caching the flags it is built with, or getting them from somewhere other than make.conf or /etc/portage/env.

Please note carefully the attached output of emerge --info '=dev-ruby/json-1.6.8' - that should pick up on any flags that portage is passing to the ebuild.

Reproducible: Always

This is by design, all ruby extensions are compiled with the same CFLAGS as the original ruby interpreter to maximize compatibility. You can re-install your version of dev-lang/ruby to make the new CFLAGS effective there as well.

Indeed, that worked.  Thanks!
