Comment 3 Bernd 2022-09-30 11:54:50 UTC
On a first try to analyze this issue, I think we have a few options on how to handle this.

First, easiest but dirty would be to package.mask vtk on musl (maybe temporary until we have a proper fix?)

Second, less intrusive, the package has an option VTK_ENABLE_LOGGING which triggers building vtkloguru, so we can add a USE flag and package.use.force it on musl to be disabled. However, despite the fact there's an option for it, I never tried to build vtk with this option OFF and have seen it kind of mandatory for a properly working build.

However:

/var/tmp/portage/sci-libs/vtk-9.1.0-r2/work/VTK-9.1.0 $ find . -type f -exec grep -H execinfo {} \;
./Utilities/KWSys/vtksys/kwsysPlatformTestsCXX.cxx:#  include <execinfo.h>
./Utilities/KWSys/vtksys/SystemInformation.cxx:#  include <execinfo.h>
./Utilities/KWSys/vtksys/CMakeLists.txt:#  KWSYS_NO_EXECINFO          = Do not use execinfo.
./Utilities/KWSys/vtksys/CMakeLists.txt:    # it's in libexecinfo
./Utilities/KWSys/vtksys/CMakeLists.txt:    find_library(EXECINFO_LIB "execinfo")
./Utilities/KWSys/vtksys/CMakeLists.txt:    CHECK_INCLUDE_FILE_CXX("execinfo.h" KWSYS_CXX_HAS_EXECINFOH)
./ThirdParty/vtkm/vtkvtkm/vtk-m/vtkm/thirdparty/loguru/vtkmloguru/loguru.cpp:   #include <execinfo.h>  // for backtrace
./ThirdParty/netcdf/vtknetcdf/libhdf5/hdf5debug.c:#include <execinfo.h>
./ThirdParty/netcdf/vtknetcdf/libdispatch/nclog.c:#include <execinfo.h>
./ThirdParty/netcdf/vtknetcdf/config.h.in:/* Define to 1 if you have the <execinfo.h> header file. */
./ThirdParty/loguru/vtkloguru/loguru.cpp:       #include <execinfo.h>  // for backtrace

AFAICS, the vtksys module has logic for handling execinfo.h including an option KWSYS_NO_EXECINFO we could enable if we ever get into trouble with this module. From what I can see from the build log however, the package seems to handle a missing execinfo.h for this module correctly.
The vtkm loguru is IMO not being built, because the main vtkloguru will being used. This is relevant only if vtkm is being built as an external module which is currently not supported by upstream.
The netcdf #include's *shouldn't* be an issue either, as we use external libraries where they are available and allowed and currently we don't seem to have issues with netcdf on musl.
We also might report to upstream and ask if it's possible to add some logic to vtkloguru, similar to how it's done in vtksys to handle the execinfo case more detailed.

WDYT?
Comment 4 Bernd 2022-10-04 16:12:00 UTC
On tests with vtk-9.2.2 it looks like logging can be disabled safely. I'm gonna add a USE flag for this.
Comment 5 Bernd 2022-10-04 17:35:11 UTC
Since vtk uses loguru unchanged, I link an upstream bug report on this.
Comment 6 Bernd 2022-10-04 17:39:23 UTC
Also see this discussion on vtk discourse: https://discourse.vtk.org/t/possible-issue-in-vtkloguru-with-musl-in-9-1-0/9526
Comment 7 Bernd 2022-10-04 20:44:57 UTC
Disable logging on musl is the way which is recommend by VTK upstream, until the issue is solved by loguru upstream.

    profiles: mask logging USE flag on sci-libs/vtk
    
    The loguru module doesn't build on musl. Mask it until it's fixed
    upstream.
