Bug 328213 – app-misc/sphinx - Add option to build libsphinxclient

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Brian Moon 2010-07-14 04:37:17 UTC]

The sphinx package source contains a libsphinxclient C library as a separate build process. Either having the option to build libsphinxclient (only?) or having it as a separate ebuild would be great. Other things want to build against it.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. build sphinx
2. no lib
3.

Actual Results:  
no lib

Expected Results:  
want a lib build

The bad news is that there is an upstream bug as of today with the released version that causes libsphinxclient not to build on Gentoo. But, there is a patch in their bug system and in their trunk.

The problem you mentioned is fixed in sphinx 1.10-beta, but unfortunately there is a new problem: http://www.sphinxsearch.com/bugs/view.php?id=550

This looks to be a FreeBSD'ism.

supposed fix for 1.10_beta: http://code.google.com/p/sphinxsearch/source/detail?r=2423# (only unfold trunk/api/libsphinxclient/sphinxclient.c)

see also bug #308747

Created attachment 253181 [details, diff]
sphinx-0.9.9-r2.patch

This patch builds the client library for version 0.9.9
- it builds api/libsphinxclient
- it fixes the build (static sock_close)
- it makes sure the library is not pre-stripped (STRIP=:)

[Comment 4 Fabian Groffen 2010-11-05 10:41:17 UTC]

my patch needs an eautoreconf in api/libsphinxclient too, or it will fail to configure on at least Darwin.

I've just added sphinx-0.9.9-r2 and sphinx-1.10_beta-r1 which now both build
and install the libsphinxclient library. The other issues reported by Fabian
are also fixed.
