Bug 592664 – mail-client/mutt-1.7.0 fails at build: SASL support is only useful with POP or IMAP support

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description jorgicio 2016-09-01 14:10:18 UTC]

Hi!

As mentioned above in the title, that happens when I build that version of mutt, although I have both USE-flags (imap and sasl) enabled.

There go the build and the emerge --info.

Thanks.

Reproducible: Always

Same issue here. I have smtp, sasl, and imap enabled.

+1
Same issue. Mutt fails to build for me as well.

Thanks, would you please show me which use-flags you have enabled for mutt?

I have now:
mail-client/mutt-1.7.0 (berkdb crypt gpg imap mbox nls nntp sasl smime smtp ssl)

So that's imap + sasl which works fine.  I want to fix it, but don't understand why you get the error :/

[Comment 7 Mike Gilbert 2016-09-03 19:44:26 UTC]

The USE flags are in the build log.

I'm pretty sure this is broken as a result of 0006-always-need-socket-for-getaddrinfo.patch. This removes the need_socket variable from some parts of configure.ac, but leaves behind a few references.

[Comment 8 Fabian Groffen 2016-09-04 11:42:49 UTC]

Aye, fixed for the next revbump.

[Comment 9 Fabian Groffen 2016-09-04 13:00:14 UTC]

please try with 1.7.0-r1

[Comment 10 jorgicio 2016-09-04 13:32:30 UTC]

Not fixed at all yet.

Tried with 1.7.10-r1 and I got the same error.

BTW, the USE-flags I have enabled are:

May the error is in the configure script generated:

10529 # Check whether --with-sasl was given.
10530 if test "${with_sasl+set}" = set; then :
10531   withval=$with_sasl;
10532         if test "$with_sasl" != "no"
10533         then
10534           if test "$need_socket" != "yes"
10535           then

right, for some reason the right patch didn't end up in -r1.

Checking it out Right Now(tm).

replacement patch

Here's a much simpler version of that patch; instead of trying to erase needs_socket from existence (and failing), just initialize it to "yes".

However, it does break the other patch series (features-extra, gentoo).

-r2 is going in now.

[Comment 15 jorgicio 2016-09-04 15:42:40 UTC]

Built and working fine.

Thank you. I hope it doesn't break other stuff.

[Comment 16 Fabian Groffen 2016-09-04 15:45:17 UTC]

it won't as I more or less restored the original behaviour now :)
