All versions (at least 1.4 and 1.5) of libvpx fail to build when locale isn't en_US.UTF8 or similar, because it creates vpx_config.asm with a dumb method like: $(BUILD_PFX)vpx_config.asm: $(BUILD_PFX)vpx_config.h @echo " [CREATE] $@" @egrep "#define [A-Z0-9_]+ [01]" $< \ | awk '{print $$2 " equ " $$3}' > $@ This leaves out all definitions that don't have every letter between A-Z under current locale. For example with et_EE.UTF8 that includes every definition that includes any of the letters T, U, V, W, X, Y and X, including CONFIG_POSTPROC and CONFIG_VP9_POSTPROC, so the first error it hits later on is yasm -f elf64 -I./ -I"/tmp/portage/media-libs/libvpx-1.5.0/work/libvpx-1.5.0"/ -o vpx_ports/emms.asm.o /tmp/portage/media-libs/libvpx-1.5.0/work/libvpx-1.5.0/vpx_ports/emms.asm /tmp/portage/media-libs/libvpx-1.5.0/work/libvpx-1.5.0/vpx_ports/x86_abi_support.asm:398: error: undefined symbol `CONFIG_POSTPROC' in preprocessor /tmp/portage/media-libs/libvpx-1.5.0/work/libvpx-1.5.0/vpx_ports/x86_abi_support.asm:398: error: undefined symbol `CONFIG_VP9_POSTPROC' in preprocessor I believe EAPI6 forces an english default locale, but this needs fixing by forcing an appropriate locale manually until EAPI6 porting is done to this package. Upstream should be smarter as well, as it will fail outside EAPI6 for manual builds as well on such localized systems.
Created attachment 420200 [details] build.log To reproduce, run LANG=et_EE.utf8 emerge -1va libvpx et_EE.utf8 must be in /etc/locale.gen or no filtering done in there (if changes done there, of course need to rerun locale-gen)
Confirmed, this is indeed the problem and "LC_ALL=C emerge" fixes it.
Still broken... please port to EAPI-6 or pass LC_COLLATE or LC_ALL where appropriate...
