Description Nico Baggus 2013-10-05 08:02:33 UTC

gcj is needed to compile pdftk, gcc wasn't (re)built 
During a full  rebuild of a system, gcj was still missing.


Reproducible: Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
1.starting from stage3 , /etc/portage copied from old system, worldfile too.
2.emerge --noreplace -DN $( cat /home/original-world )
3.
Actual Results:  
gcc was compiled without gcj
depending on gcc having gcj would have pulled it in of warned about missing flags.

Expected Results:  
building pdftk

pdftk compilation stopped after complaining about gcj not being found.

The dependency is already in place. Did you perhaps emerge a new (SLOTted) sys-devel/gcc which you didn't then select through gcc-config?

Comment 2 Nico Baggus 2013-10-05 18:15:27 UTC

gcc-4.6.3 was probably in stage3,  
and was/is the active compiler in this build

it wasn't compiled with gcj enabled. and pdftk just happily was being tried to compile and failed on a call to gcj... without emerge trying to warn about missing flags. Either there is no flag or emerge just f**ked up dependcy checking.

Your pick.
