Bug 632092 – sys-fs/btrfs-progs-4.13.1 USE=convert & USE=static fails to compile at btrfs-convert unless sys-fs/reiserfsprogs compiled with USE=static-libs

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Attila Tóth 2017-09-26 19:08:37 UTC]

If btrfs-progs-4.13.1 gets compiled with USE=static and USE=convert, it will fail to compile while compiling btrfs-convert unless reiserfsprogs has been compiled with USE=static-libs.

Relevant error messages in the log:

Solution: compile reiserfsprogs with USE=static-libs if USE=convert & USE=static is specified for btrfs-progs. I think btrfs-progs ebuild should somehow reflect these requirements as a USE dependency. This actual issue pops up with the advent of new btrfs-convert features of -4.13.1 and hasn't been there in -4.12. BR: Dw.

    sys-fs/btrfs-progs: add USE=reiserfs for automagic depend on reiserfsprogs, bug #632092
    
    USE=static exposed automagic dependency on libreiserfscore.a.
    The change adds USE=reiserfs and makes dependency and configuration
    explicit.
    
    While at it tweaked live ebuild (added 'm4' directory to autoconf).

Good catch! I've tweaked only latest and live ebuilds.

Thank you!
