Bug 252713 – dev-lang/php-5.2.8-r1 fails to compile with global USE=-unicode.

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED TEST-REQUEST

[Description Kelly Price 2008-12-27 17:06:14 UTC]

* Messages for package dev-lang/php-5.2.8-r1:

 * 
 * ERROR: dev-lang/php-5.2.8-r1 failed.
 * Call stack:

 *                      die "Please rebuild dev-libs/libpcre with USE=unicode"
 *  The die message:

 * 
 * If you need support, post the topmost build error, and the call stack if relevant.

Um, excuse me, but I don't want Unicode.  My make.conf file has it explicitly marked "-unicode".  C is good enough for me.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Emerge dev-libs/libpcre with USE=-unicode
2.  Try to emerge dev-lang/php with USE=-unicode


Actual Results:  
Ebuild complains about dev-libs/libpcre not compiled with USE=unicode.

Expected Results:  
Ebuild should have compiled w/o support for Unicode.

Work-around is to mask out this release.

Another solution would be to compile dev-lang/php without the "pcre" USE flag.

That won't happen due to security issues with versions less than 5.2.8-r1. Assigning to maintainers to consider. Thanks for the report

Thanks for reporting this bug (it's been a while). While i understand your decision to go with plain C locale, this is no longer possible due to bug #265336, which caused libpcre to force unicode on.

I'm trying to figure out a solution to this, but changing libpcre is not trivial and may or may not happen at all.

Talk about your old bugs!  I think a better solution (since it's been two years old, and I've switched hardware since then) is to move from a C locale to a defined locale via Unicode.  I'll have to dig through to see how to set this; it's defaulting to C.
