Bug 61900 – emerge adabindx tries to assemble copyright message

• Status: RESOLVED TEST-REQUEST
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Bobby D. Bryant 2004-08-27 01:57:27 UTC]

When trying to emerge adabindx, you get a barf from an attempt to compile the gnat copyright message.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge adabindx


Actual Results:  
% emerge adabindx
[...works on it for a while...]
make[1]: Entering directory
`/var/tmp/portage/adabindx-0.7.2/work/adabindx-0.7.2/utils'

!!! ERROR: dev-ada/adabindx-0.7.2 failed.
!!! Function src_compile, Line 29, Exitcode 2
!!! (no error message)


N.B. - Though my paste above uses the ~x86 gnat 3.4.1, I had the same problem
when using gnat 3.15p.



Expected Results:  
Complete the emerge without error.

Aha - this problem occurs when you have -pipe in your CFLAGS in /etc/make.conf

[Comment 2 Bobby D. Bryant 2004-12-16 01:58:59 UTC]

A bit of experimenting shows that this is because the .ebuild inherits the "gnat" eclass, and gnat.eclass tries to filter multiple flags in a single call to the filter-flag function.  Apparently only a single flag is accepted by that function, because adding the line

   filter-flags "-pipe"

does indeed make the -pipe option go away, and allows the build to complete without trouble.

[Comment 3 David Holm (RETIRED) 2005-02-23 09:32:34 UTC]

This was caused by a problem with the gnat eclass. The eclass was fixed today, marking this bug for testing.
