Bug 472696 – net-dns/host-20070128-r1: Link dynamically to resolv instead of static link

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

[Description Bertrand Jacquin 2013-06-08 21:46:38 UTC]

When builing net-dns/host-20070128-r1, binary is linked with "/usr/$(get_libdir)/libresolv.a" as defined in src_compile() in ebuild :

  emake CC="$(tc-getCC)" RES_LIB="/usr/$(get_libdir)/libresolv.a"

This lead to error when trying to cross compile it :

/usr/libexec/gcc/i586-pc-linux-gnu/ld: i386:x86-64 architecture of input file `/usr/lib/libresolv.a(res_comp.o)' is incompatible with i386 outpu

Full log attached, and a patch proposol do dynamically link it so we avoid to define the full libresolv.a path which in case of cross compile should composed by $ROOT which is not safe as defined in PMS.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. crossdev -t i586-pc-linux-gnu
2. i586-pc-linux-gnu-emerge -vat net-dns/host
3.

This patch avoid using sed in src_prepare(), that sed break vim syntax colorisation and sed result is the same in every case.

Here is an attempt to migrate the ebuild to EAPI 5

Ugh, that ipaddr_t check is ugly. A sizeof(int) check would make more sense there. Or just use the C99 "uint32_t" from stdint.h.
