Bug 787188 – net-libs/grpc-1.37.1 version bump

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Thomas Capricelli 2021-04-30 18:39:48 UTC]

portage has an old version (1.32.0, released in sept 2020). I'm hit by some bugs in it.

The last version is 1.37.1 (released 20 hours ago :-)

https://github.com/grpc/grpc/releases

Reproducible: Always

I tried just copying the ebuild, but it fails as the patch (use-pkg-config-to-find-re2.patch) doesn't apply cleanly anymore

I removed the patch from the ebuild, and it now fails with lot of cmake errors like:


CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:2974 (add_library):
  Target "grpc++_alts" links to target "absl::statusor" but the target was
  not found.  Perhaps a find_package() call is missing for an IMPORTED
  target, or an ALIAS target is missing?


CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:2247 (add_library):
  Target "grpc_unsecure" links to target "absl::statusor" but the target was
  not found.  Perhaps a find_package() call is missing for an IMPORTED
  target, or an ALIAS target is missing?
...


Now i'm stuck.

It's in the tree.
patch no longer needed as it was fixed upstream.

[Comment 3 Georgy Yakovlev 2021-04-30 19:15:15 UTC]

as for absl error, you need  new absl and both grpc and absl compiled with cxx17 standard.
new ebuild takes care of that so it'll just work.

And i can confirm it works. Thanks a lot !
