Description niks1024 2012-03-06 16:15:36 UTC
net-p2p/transmission-2.50-r1 fails to compile, printing:
    In file included from net.c:46:0:
    tr-utp.h:32:24: fatal error: libutp/utp.h: No such file or directory

It should be noted that net-p2p/transmission-2.42-r1 which I currently have (built on january 26) with uTP support doesn't recompile either failing during configure with:
    checking µTP... configure: error: "Unable to build uTP support -- C++ compiler not found; consider --disable-utp"

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge =net-p2p/transmission-2.50-r1

C++ compiler not found ?

provide 'emerge --info' output, 'emerge -pv gcc' output as well as the config.log from the ./configure transmission generated
Comment 2 niks1024 2012-03-06 18:44:51 UTC
I also have clang which I use by default but in this case I'm using /etc/portage/env/* magic to override it for transmission (also both gcc and clang fail in the same way).
I went over config.log myself and found it to be utterly useless since it only prints:
    configure:17959: checking µTP
    configure:17978: error: "Unable to build uTP support -- C++ compiler not found; consider --disable-utp"
besides that's for the older 2.42-r1 so unless it's really needed for this bug I'll refrain from posting that log.
The 2.50-r1 fails during compilation and with missing header (since it seems to expects that header file to be installed in /usr/include if my C/C++ understanding is anything to go by).

Anyways, including emerge --info:

Comment 6 niks1024 2012-03-06 21:03:17 UTC
Looking at it once more I noticed that configure phase outputs
    configure:17956: checking µTP
    configure:17998: result: no
for net-p2p/transmission-2.50-r1 as well, it's just not fatal anymore (though it still fails to build).
P.S. Rant: This is why I have always said autotools are pointless mess.

Looks to me as if the problem was in miniupnpc instead of utp.

emerge -pv net-libs/miniupnpc ? is that version 1.6-r1 ?

Comment 9 Samuli Suominen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2012-03-07 11:09:31 UTC
Well, libutp is part of transmission source tree. Then, your miniupnpc version is also correct. Please try re-emerging it for test.

But what stands out is...

What is -Oz in your CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS? Why do you have -Wl,-z,now in LDFLAGS? 
Have you tried with something sane, like CFLAGS="-O2 -march=native -pipe"? Same for CXXFLAGS.
Comment 10 niks1024 2012-03-08 10:50:51 UTC
Regarding -Wl,z,now it comes from my make.conf:
LDFLAGS="${LDFLAGS} -Wl,-z,now"
and the only difference it makes, as far as I'm aware of, is that symbols are resolved at link time rather than runtime, for dynamic linking this means that a program would segfault right at startup not only when an undefined symbol is called (if ever). This is mainly QA thing.
The -Oz it's more aggresive version of -Os and it's specific to Clang, I'll double check when I have time but I think I ran both configure phases with gcc instead of Clang.
Comment 11 niks1024 2012-03-08 13:35:12 UTC
So I have found the trigger - it seems to fail to build unless compiler environment variables are set to these values:
    CC=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc
    CXX=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-g++

Previously I used:
    CC=/usr/bin/gcc
    CXX=/usr/bin/g++

Since this is just trigger, not marking as resolved until it's certain this is as intended.
Comment 12 Samuli Suominen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2012-03-08 14:12:35 UTC
I'm not sure if it's ideal for it to fail like that, but that setup certainly isn't standand. CCing toolchain@ if they have something to add here. 
Personally I don't find this worth of wasting time on.
Comment 13 niks1024 2012-03-08 23:08:20 UTC
After more testing it appears that the real problem is use of absolute paths in those variables, e.g., Transmission configures and builds fine if CC=clang CXX=clang++ is used instead of absolute paths I had before.
Comment 14 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2012-03-09 04:07:40 UTC
there's nothing wrong with setting to full paths.  however, ignoring that, this pkg is still broken.  set CXX to any value and it fails.

basically, it's the fault of this in configure.ac:
AC_CHECK_PROG([HAVE_CXX],[$CXX],[yes],[no])
...
if test "x$HAVE_CXX" = "xyes" ; then
    have_utp="yes"
else
    have_utp="no"
fi
...

HAVE_CXX is useless, and this latter check is just wrong.  delete both and do normal library/func searching to check for 3rd party packages.
Comment 15 Samuli Suominen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2012-03-10 12:58:25 UTC
punted the broken check in portage and reported it to upstream Trac:

Moderation required for new ticket.

Thank you for submitting a new ticket ("If CXX is exported to value like /usr/bin/g++ the ./configure fails to set HAVE_CXX and fails later on compile due to missing libutp").

Your submission has been routed to a moderator for approval. We make every effort to review submissions within one working day.
