Bug 71238 – portmap-5b-r8 make: *** No rule to make target `//usr/lib/libwrap.a', needed by `portmap'. Stop.

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Austin Longino 2004-11-14 20:14:06 UTC]

On a fresh install when trying to install the portmap-5b-r8, which is needed by firefox1.0, it fails and gives the error 
"make: *** No rule to make target `//usr/lib/libwrap.a', needed by `portmap'.  Stop."
I looked into this and realized that portmap needs a version of tcp-wrappers installed. After `emerge tcp-wrappers` everything works as planned.
This was noticed on 2 unique fresh x86 installs.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Build new System
2.emerge portmap
3.

Actual Results:  
I installed tcp-wrappers and continued with the installation

Expected Results:  
Detected the dependency and installed it.

use 5b-r9, it should have this fixed

[Comment 2 Austin Longino 2004-11-15 12:07:50 UTC]

That would probably work, but in the firefox ebuild it tries to emerge this portmap. Just a note for the dev's :) Emerging either the newer portmap(havent tried) or emerging tcp-wrappers works fine.

poke.

-r8 still doesn't build unless tcp-wrappers is installed.
Have a timeline for when -r9 will be marked stable?

I can confirm that -r9 works.

Thanks
