Bug 869893 – app-text/tree-2.0.2 fails to link on macOS 12.5.1 prefix

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo/Alt

[Description René Rhéaume 2022-09-12 18:50:00 UTC]

I get a duplicate symbol error from the linker, that is pretty much the final step of building this small utility. If I knew how to fix, I would have proposed a patch, but that's not the case (yet).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. $EPREFIX/startprefix
2. emerge app-text/tree
Actual Results:  
x86_64-apple-darwin21-gcc -Wl,-dead_strip_dylibs -o tree tree.o list.o hash.o color.o file.o filter.o info.o unix.o xml.o json.o html.o strverscmp.o strverscmp.o
duplicate symbol _strverscmp in:
    strverscmp.o
ld: 1 duplicate symbol for architecture x86_64
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [Makefile:97: tree] Error 1

 * ERROR: app-text/tree-2.0.2::gentoo_prefix failed (compile phase):
 *   emake failed
 * 

Expected Results:  
app-text/tree merged into prefix

% emerge -pqv '=app-text/tree-2.0.2::gentoo_prefix'
[ebuild  N    ] app-text/tree-2.0.2

Not at a PC to look properly but
Makefile:99: target 'strverscmp.o' given more than once in the same rule
is suspicious

[Comment 4 Carlos 2022-10-24 23:23:14 UTC]

The target being given twice also broke LTO when using Clang.

FWIW, 2.0.3 corrected that oversight and I no longer need to patch the Makefile.

after uploading a version bump, I saw there was a PR here already. 
Thank you anyway. 

I think the bug should be fixed in 2.0.4, please test and report.
I keep the ticket open, until 2.0.4 is stabilized.

[Comment 6 Jonas Stein 2022-12-02 20:28:52 UTC]

tree-2.0.4 is now stable. 
The reported problem should be fixed now in the latest stable. 
Closing.
