Description Daniel Bausch 2015-01-12 10:09:34 UTC

Compilation of app-misc/hivex-1.3.7-r1 aborts with linker errors.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Have app-misc/hivex-1.3.7-r1 installed
2. Update to app-misc/hivex-1.3.11

Actual Results:  
Relevant section of compile output:

make[3]: Entering directory '/var/tmp/portage/app-misc/hivex-1.3.11/work/hivex-1.3.11/ruby/ext/hivex'
make[3]: warning: jobserver unavailable: using -j1.  Add '+' to parent make rule.
compiling _hivex.c
linking shared-object _hivex.so
_hivex.o: In function `ruby_hivex_node_name_len':
_hivex.c:(.text+0x14be): undefined reference to `hivex_node_name_len'
_hivex.o: In function `ruby_hivex_node_name':
_hivex.c:(.text+0x1562): undefined reference to `hivex_node_name_len'
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
Makefile:214: recipe for target '_hivex.so' failed
make[3]: *** [_hivex.so] Error 1


Expected Results:  
Linking should happen against currently building version.

Workaround: Remove previously installed version first and install newer version seperately afterwards.

I have the same issue, although I am starting with 1.3.7-r2 (from Pentoo overlay).
