hi I successfully emerge sci-electronics/gtkwave, 2018-04-11, with binutils-v2.29.1, gcc-v6.4.0 but now the same version of gtwave fails with gcc-v7.3.0, and the log says make[4]: Entering directory '/var/tmp/portage/sci-electronics/gtkwave-3.3.68/work/gtkwave-3.3.68/src/helpers' powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu-gcc -I./.. -I./../.. -I./../liblzma -I./fst -I./../../contrib/rtlbrowse -mcpu=7450 -O2 -maltivec -mabi=altivec -fno-strict-aliasing -pipe -DFST_WRITER_PARALLEL -Wl,-O1 -Wl,--as-needed -o vcd2vzt vcd2vzt.o vzt_write.o v2l_debug_lxt2.o LzmaLib.o -lz -lbz2 -lpthread -lm -ldl vzt_write.o: In function `vzt_wr_emit_value_double': vzt_write.c:(.text+0x3410): undefined reference to `xdrmem_create' vzt_write.c:(.text+0x341c): undefined reference to `xdr_double' collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status --- I don't know if it's related or not, but I have recently created this demo to test #include <rpc/xdr.h> int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { char buf[1024]; XDR x; int n = 5; char *s = "Hello, world."; xdrmem_create(&x, buf, 1024, XDR_ENCODE); printf("%d\n", xdr_getpos(&x)); xdr_int(&x, &n); printf("%d\n", xdr_getpos(&x)); xdr_wrapstring(&x, &s); printf("%d\n", xdr_getpos(&x)); return 0; } gcc test.c -o test -ltirpc it successfully compiles ./test 0 4 24 ldd test libtirpc.so.3 => /lib/libtirpc.so.3 (0xf8be4000) libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0xf86de000) libpthread.so.0 => /lib/libpthread.so.0 (0xf82ca000) /lib/ld.so.1 (0xf8ec9000) so I am using /lib/libtirpc.so.3, which belongs to net-libs/libtirpc-1.0.2-r1
not a good and elegant solution, but I have a workaround just to get gtkwave compiled again ln -s /usr/lib/libtirpc.so /usr/lib/librpc.so now ./configure says checking for xdrmem_create in -lnsl... no checking for xdrmem_create in -lrpc... yes and emerge is happy 2019-01-30 [ sci-electronics/gtkwave ] - success - @2.29.1/7.3.0 please, let me know if/how net-libs/libtirpc needs to be modified
Looks like configure isn't picking up net-libs/libnsl for these symbols
Indeed. weird. I don't know why, but net-libs/libnsl is installed net-libs/libnsl Latest version available: 1.2.0 Latest version installed: 1.2.0 Size of files: 205 KiB Homepage: https://github.com/thkukuk/libnsl Description: Public client interface for NIS(YP) and NIS+ in a IPv6 ready version License: LGPL-2.1+
Can you reproduce this with 3.3.106?
usr-merge_tinderbox has reproduced this issue with version 3.3.111 - Updating summary.
Dear treecleaner@: usr-merge_tinderbox reproduced this issue right now. Since it has not been fixed for a long time, I'd suggest to evaluate if it is the case to remove this package from the tree. Thanks
