Description Derek Feichtinger 2004-03-05 04:42:10 UTC

Installing a new system. When I want to compile the e100 package, the ebuild fails  with this message:
---excerpt----
+ cd /var/tmp/portage/e100-2.3.33/work/e100-2.3.33/src
+ emake KSRC=/usr/src/linux clean e100.o
Makefile:139: *** Compiler not found.  Stop.
--------------
Looking at the Makefile, I see that the problem is that it tries to choose the correct 'cc' compiler via looking it up through 'which'. At this stage sys-apps/which is not yet installed and the dependency statement is missing in the ebuild file. Emerging 'which' and trying again helped.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install a new system following handbook description up to stage after compiling the kernel
2. Try: emerge e100

did you `emerge system` first ?

which is in system profiles

Comment 2 Derek Feichtinger 2004-03-05 06:44:05 UTC

Sorry, you are completely right.
I did only 'emerge --fetchonly system' and forgot to issue 'emerge system' after that. There is no bug (though the error message is a bit misleading).

Thanks!
