Created attachment 391120 [details] emerge --info and build log I am trying to get LDAP up and running within Gentoo Prefix on a Mac PPC G4. Was having problems with lmdb (see bug there) and then found the "Getting Started" doc for LDAP and Gentoo. Added new USE flags, and tcp-wrappers comes up as a new dependency. When I try to install either of the two listed versions that are marked stable for PPC, I get a problem with "unknown option" and ld. 7.6.22-r1 gives me: ld: unknown option: -soname=libwrap.so.0 7.6-r8 gives me: ld: unknown option: -soname Thanks in advance for any help both here and for lmdb. AS CALLED: [ebuild N ] sys-apps/tcp-wrappers-7.6.22-r1 USE="ipv6 -netgroups -static-libs"
A search on "ld: unknown option: -soname=libwrap.so.0" shows that this is a known problem for certain Mac gccs. I'm willing to to try working this out myself--patch, overlay, etc.--if there is any advice as to what that would entail? Thanks again.
not certain, all of them, for Darwin doesn't use ELF

This needs to be removed for Darwin. Nicest way is if the buildsystem itself figures out when to or not to do this. If that's too hard, then a simple sed from the ebuild could do it on a conditional for $CHOST == *-darwin*.
Thanks for the reply. I've been digging around a lot online, and have a sense of what I need to do. Apparently, removing the soname option breaks something; I found I need to replace "soname=" with "install_name," and this removes the error I was getting. When I then run the "make...all" exactly as emerge had it, I get an error for the next option, which is: -Wl,--version-script=libwrap.lds It seemed (from what I was able to glean) that this *is* removable, and when I do so, the make command starts successfully, but after a few steps just dies without an error message of any kind. I wish I could say I'm more versed in this aspect of building/installing from scratch, but I'm not (and hence why I rely on my prefix!). I have a question: At the beginning of the Makefile there are a lot of templates/recipes for various flavors of *nix....are these generic? Or quite specific to this build? Can one be "borrowed" for Mac PowerPC from somewhere else? I ask because I'm now out of ideas as to what to do.... Thanks in advance for any help.
Do you really need tcp-wrappers? If you really want to get an ldap server running, you better integrate it with launchd instead (IMO). I think you better revise your USE-flags and see what pulls in tcp-wrappers, for porting this package is going to be a major pita (and probably in vain).
I removed tcpd as a use flag and this is no longer pulled in.
lmdb is working on ppc-macos, tcp-wrappers I don't know, but would have to recheck.
