Description seraph@xs4all.nl 2008-01-13 11:07:27 UTC
I'm building a small (~70MB) Gentoo Linux setup using uclibc for my Nagasaki MS-2100, a miniature PC (once used as a wifi AP by a local ISP) with a Geode GX1 processor. To my surprise, the thing turns out to be capable of frequency scaling using the gx-suspmod driver.

However, unfortunately cpufrequtils fails to build in my uclibc development environment. I'm suspecting it's because it tries to use internationalization code even though the nls flag is (forced) off.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. chroot into uclibc build environment (made using stage3-x86-uclibc-2006.1)
2. emerge cpufrequtils

Actual Results:  
The ebuild fails as follows:

 * Messages for package sys-power/cpufrequtils-002-r3:

 * 
 * ERROR: sys-power/cpufrequtils-002-r3 failed.
 * Call stack:
 *                    ebuild.sh, line 1701:  Called dyn_compile
 *                    ebuild.sh, line 1039:  Called qa_call 'src_compile'
 *                    ebuild.sh, line   44:  Called src_compile
 *   cpufrequtils-002-r3.ebuild, line   32:  Called die
 * The specific snippet of code:
 *      emake V=true DEBUG=${debug} NLS=${nls} \
 *              CC=$(tc-getCC) LD=$(tc-getCC) AR=$(tc-getAR) STRIP=echo RANLIB=$(tc-getRANLIB) \
 *              || die "emake failed"
 *  The die message:
 *   emake failed
 * 
 * If you need support, post the topmost build error, and the call stack if relevant.
 * A complete build log is located at '/var/tmp/portage/sys-power/cpufrequtils-002-r3/temp/build.log'.
 * 

Looking further in the log, I see the following. It looks to me like it expects libintl to be there, but it isn't because I use uclibc with no internationalization code.

(And so on, there are ton of warnings about gettext like these.)

Expected Results:  
Cpufrequtils should have compiled normally.

Comment 2 seraph@xs4all.nl 2008-01-14 09:33:53 UTC
That seems to have done the trick, although it causes some weird warnings when compiling the kernel. But at least cpufrequtils compiles now.
Comment 3 solar (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-01-14 16:46:17 UTC
Move the file out of the way when not needed. 
It will cause false detection of nls related things. 
Those stub functions are suited to become something that an eclass takes 
care of some day.

Realy disable NLS

Patch add:
1. Definition NLS to CFLAGS
2. Wrappers on gettext which do nothing if NLS not defined.

Sorry for garbage in previous patch
Comment 6 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2008-10-21 21:20:49 UTC
ive merged your fix in 005-r1 ... thanks!
Comment 7 Matt Turner gentoo-dev 2011-08-14 03:07:26 UTC
This patch listed incorrect authorship in portage. I've fixed that and I also sent the patch upstream for inclusion into cpufrequtils. Thanks again.
