Bug 469764 – sys-libs/uclibc-9999 fails to build/install ldconfig

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED NEEDINFO

[Description pmn 2013-05-14 01:05:39 UTC]

make utils skips building ldconfig and ldd eventhough HAS_SHARED is set to 'y' in config file.

Reproducible: Always

Actual Results:  
ldconfig is not built

Expected Results:  
ldconfig is built

i'm attaching a diff output to show an ugly thing i did to get uclibc's make to explicitly cd into ./utils and run 'make utils_install' there.

nested Makefile for utils is broken

Yeah, this is known and I meant to fix it and tell vapier, but it fell of my radar.

the point of using "install_utils" is to install the tools ... running it twice doesn't make sense

you should also use the -C flag rather than manual `cd`

they do use -C flag, if i understood you correctly (i.e. -C within Makefile to run make on a nested Makefile):

<http://git.uclibc.org/uClibc/tree/Makefile.in#n426>

then problem is possibly here:
<http://git.uclibc.org/uClibc/tree/utils/Makefile.in#n86>
or here:
<http://git.uclibc.org/uClibc/tree/utils/Makefile.in#n126>

most probably the former, from what i remember because it doesn't even build ldd and ldconfig let alone installing them.

that's despite the fact that $(HAVE_SHARED) resolves to 'y', btw.

i'm talking about your patch, not the uClibc code

that said, building uclibc-0.9.33.2-r3 builds+installs ldconfig/ldd just fine for me.  you must post your `emerge --info` and the full build log with every bug report.

can you post the config file you're using ?  i just tried the 9999 version and it worked for me (w/default config).

I'm not sure what's going on here (parallel build error?) but I just tried and it worked for me too.

Oops let me add that it didn't work before, so maybe some git blame analysis will show what's going on.
