Description Paul Osmialowski 2016-01-16 10:32:40 UTC

I tried to build LLVM/Clang from git today on my Gentoo box and I ended up with this:

[ 41%] Generating kmp_i18n_id.inc
message-converter.pl: (x) /etc/lsb-release: There is no DISTRIB_RELEASE:
message-converter.pl: (x) DISTRIB_ID="Gentoo"
message-converter.pl: (x) (eof)

It turned out that in order to build upstream LLVM/Clang the /etc/lsb-release file must look at least like that:

DISTRIB_ID="Gentoo"
DISTRIB_RELEASE=""
DISTRIB_CODENAME=""
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION=""


Reproducible: Always
