Description Tee KOBAYASHI 2021-08-25 02:37:27 UTC
media-gfx/povray fails to cross-emerge for arm-musl on x86_64-gnu. The configure says Boost is not found, which is of course installed by dependency.

Not sure if static-libs USE flag is relevant. (Haven't tried with -static-libs.)

build.log and config.log will be attached soon.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. USE="static-libs" armv7a-softfloat-linux-musleabi-emerge --ask =media-gfx/povray-3.7.0.0-r1
Actual Results:  
configure dies saying:

checking whether the Boost::System library is available... no
checking whether the Boost::Thread library is available... no
configure: error: cannot find a suitable boost thread library

Expected Results:  
configure passes

Could you try modifying the ebuild?

Change these lines:
		-e 's:"/usr/include":"'${EPREFIX}'/usr/include":' \
		-e 's:"/usr/lib":"'${EPREFIX}'/usr/'$(get_libdir)'":' \
to:
		-e 's:"/usr/include":"'${ESYSROOT}'/usr/include":' \
		-e 's:"/usr/lib":"'${ESYSROOT}'/usr/'$(get_libdir)'":' \

and
		--with-boost-libdir="${EPREFIX}/usr/$(get_libdir)" \
to
		--with-boost-libdir="${ESYSROOT}/usr/$(get_libdir)" \

This does not seem to change the config result. Possibly both EPREFIX and ESYSROOT are expanded as empty strings?

Add --with-boost config option

Now I'm trying to build manually because I don't know an appropriate alternative to EPREFIX that expands to /usr/armv7a-softfloat-linux-musleabi.

And I have found that without specifying --with-boost option the configure script uses -I/usr/include as CPPFLAGS when checking for Boost library.

Make configure script cross-build friendly

Aside from the above issue, the configure script has problems for cross-build. These are mainly because it tries to execute built binaries even when cross-compiling.

A patch is attached to fix this.
Comment 8 Tee KOBAYASHI 2021-08-25 14:55:42 UTC

Use unsigned int instead of uint

The make step stops by errors saying that type name 'uint' is unknown.

It might suffice to include <sys/types.h>, but the attached patch substitutes unsigned int for uint.
Comment 9 Sam James archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2021-10-26 06:44:39 UTC
These look OK but have you sent them upstream?
Comment 10 Tee KOBAYASHI 2021-10-26 13:19:56 UTC
Ah, ESYSROOT is empty because of EAPI=6?

No, not yet.
Comment 12 Tee KOBAYASHI 2021-10-26 13:32:15 UTC
As for musl, there is also an issue of the default thread stack size being too small for povray to run. This can be worked around by including -Wl,-z,stack-size=2097152 (can be smaller) in LDFLAGS.

(Another problem is that now I am not much interested in cross-emerging povray.)
Comment 13 Agostino Sarubbo gentoo-dev 2024-03-21 09:29:53 UTC
I can reproduce without static-libs on musl amd64
