a cheap workaround in Makefile.in LIBS = @LIBS@ -lz makes it compiling fine.
(In reply to Oleg from comment #2) > a cheap workaround in Makefile.in > LIBS = @LIBS@ -lz > makes it compiling fine. I wonder if this isn't a parallel build failure because I'm unable to reproduce it here. Since I can't reproduce it, can I ask you to 1) submit your `emerge --info xapian-omega` 2) test my theory (although it is just a guess at this point) by building with MAKEOPTS=-j1 and other values of -j

(In reply to Oleg from comment #4) > Created attachment 425784 [details] > emerge --info Can you try rebuilding with MAKEOPTS="-j1" and tell me if it works, or still fails.
sorry, i forgot to mention earlier, Yes, it does fail with MAKEOPTS="-j" with exactly same linking failure.

(In reply to Oleg from comment #7) > sorry, i forgot to mention earlier, Yes, it does fail with MAKEOPTS="-j1" > with exactly same linking failure. Sorry for sending you on a wild goose chase. I just couldn't understand why it was working on my system but not yours. Anyhow I found the problem. Around like 123 of configure.ac we have dnl Check for zlibVersion in -lz. SAVE_LIBS=$LIBS LIBS= dnl mingw build needs -lzlib or -lzdll. AC_SEARCH_LIBS([zlibVersion], [z zlib zdll], [], [ AC_MSG_ERROR([zlibVersion() not found in -lz, -lzlib, or -lzdll (you may need to install the zlib1g-dev or zlib-devel package)]) ]) ZLIB_LIBS=$LIBS LIBS=$SAVE_LIBS The problem is that ZLIB_LIBS doesn't make it into the makefile unless you run AC_SUBST([ZLIB_LIBS]) If you want to test, add that line right after ZLIB_LIBS=$LIBS, then run autoreconf -i -f and then ./configure ; make. I'll prepare a patch and alert upstream.

Its their commit 755169cc. Please sync up and test in about 1 hour. Reopen this bug if there is still a problem.
