Description Nico R. 2010-09-02 13:12:29 UTC
On my system, dev-libs/libedit has been emerged with USE='-static-libs'.

When I try to emerge app-shells/dash-0.5.6.1-r1 with USE='libedit -static', the build fails, because there is no /usr/lib/libedit.a which could be linked statically into dash.

If dash continues to statically link libedit, it must use something like
DEPEND="libedit? dev-libs/libedit[static-libs]"


(Side note:
I do not understand why the dash ebuild currently forces the ‘static-libs’ use flag to off in libedit when dash is built with use flag ‘static’ – but this is not what this bug is about. Please check it for correctness, though. Thanks.)

Hello,  Thanks for taking the time to report this bug.  Please copy your emerge --info and a relevant part of the build log so we can understand and try to reproduce this error.  

I have looked at the ebuild and it appears there is a valid reason for statically linking in libedit.   I've pasted an exerpt below.

# Always statically link libedit in to ensure we always boot if it changes
# which it has done in the past.

Looks like bug #334693.

The build log

Shortly saying: dash ebuild forces static linking with libedit but it doesn't depend on libedit[static-libs]. Moreover, the 'static?' part of the current DEPEND seems like a typo.
