Bug 99778 – sys-cluster/util-vserver-0.30.205-r1 cannot compile

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Ole Tange 2005-07-21 04:18:44 UTC]

Emerging util-vserver fails. 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge sync 
2. emerge util-vserver 
 
Actual Results:  
diet gcc -O2 -march=i686 -fomit-frame-pointer -std=c99 -Wall -pedantic -W -o 
tests/getctx tests/getctx.o  lib/libvserver.a 
lib/libvserver.a(lib_libvserver_a-syscall_gettaskxid.o)(.text+0x15b): In 
function `vc_get_task_xid': 
: undefined reference to `syscall' 
[...] lots of other errors 

Expected Results:  
What is interesting is that if I do the gcc command without diet, then it 
works fine. I expected that it was a problem with diet, so I did: 
 
  emerge -Nb dietlibc 
 
which completed without errors but it did not help the vserver.

which version of dietlibc do you have installed? 

[Comment 2 Ole Tange 2005-07-21 09:26:56 UTC]

emerge -s dietlibc

If I do: 
 
  rm /usr/bin/diet 
 
I can recompile successfully - though I get: 
 
 
 
So I will try with the non-diet version and see how far I get. 
 
<RANT> 
  Why is old but working ebuilds removed from portage? I had an old version of 
util-vserver working, but I cannot rebuild it now because of the 
mission .ebuild.

just copy the ebuild to your overlay and change versions... you can use 
util-vserver with USE="-glibc" too, try to merge 0.30.208 and report if the 
error still exists 

[Comment 6 Benedikt Böhm (RETIRED) 2005-08-16 08:19:21 UTC]

please reopen if still exists 

[Comment 7 Bruno 2005-09-22 12:10:32 UTC]

Still valid on a fresh install on x86 (stable) using gcc-3.3.*. On a gcc-3.4.*  
system (pentium-m) util-vserver installs just fine. (using stable dietlibc 
0.28) 
  
Version of util-vserver: 0.30.205-r1 
 
 
I tried util-vserver-0.30.208-r2 which failed as well (gcc-3.3.6) on same 
error. 

[Comment 8 Bruno 2005-10-02 11:52:23 UTC]

Cause of this compilation error seems to be the hardened USE flag. 
 
I built 2 systems with same GCC version, only difference is the hardened USE 
flag. With it compilation failure, without compiles fine. 

[Comment 9 Benedikt Böhm (RETIRED) 2005-10-02 23:41:07 UTC]

please try if 0.30.208-r3 solves the hardened problem (it should... ;) 

[Comment 10 Christian Heim (RETIRED) 2006-09-25 00:29:32 UTC]

Reopening.

[Comment 11 Christian Heim (RETIRED) 2006-09-25 00:30:12 UTC]

Guess this thing is fixed, as no one complained about it being broken currently.
