Bug 14704 – xfree 4.2.99 r2 fails during ebuild install

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED INVALID

[Description Paul Komarek 2003-01-29 01:00:12 UTC]

I did an ebuild xfree-4.2.99.3-r2.ebuild compile, followed by install.  During
install, compilation died at glxinfo.c.  The errors were c++ errors while
linking to libglu, and appending -lstdc++ to the compile line or changing gcc to
g++ resulted in a "successful" (no complaints) compile.

I checked the libGLU code, and it definitely is meant to be C++.

The interesting part of the install output is below.  I only kept a few errors,
because the "undefined reference to `operator new...`" was the big clue. ;-)

Probably nobody should look into this bug until I post again.  I just found some
rogue c++ libs in /usr/local/lib that might have been causing the problem.

did you upgrade from 1.2 to 1.4 ? 

[Comment 3 Paul Komarek 2003-01-29 03:16:20 UTC]

Okay, after nukeing some old libs in /usr/local/lib, xfree 4.2.99 rc2 builds
just fine.  Sorry for the bogus bug.

And yes, I have been "upgrading" from 1.2 to 1.4, as SpanKY cleverly deduced. =-)
