patch for perl-5.22.1

Description Kim Nilsson 2015-03-19 03:28:46 UTC
dev-lang/perl-5.20.2 fails to build with undefined reference to glibc

Please note that I am still using glibc-2.20, as glibc-2.20-r2 fails to build.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge -u perl
Actual Results:  
Build fails because of linker error

patch for perl-5.22.1

This was a bit weird, perl was auto detecting linux-android as the OS under prefix and disabling gcc it would then barf due to not having a valid compiler.
This is a user patch I installed as 
${EPREFIX}/etc/portage/patches/dev-lang/perl-5.22.1/test.patch
that disables the problematic auto-config test.

Alas perl does not have epatch_user in its builds so I changed the ebuild by replaceing 
src_prepare()   { eblit-run src_prepare   v50160001 ; }
with
src_prepare()   { epatch_user ; eblit-run src_prepare   v50160001 ; }
and running 
ebuild ${EPREFIX}/usr/portage/dev-lang/perl/perl-5.22.1.ebuild manifest

Then my emerge worked.

I am not sure what the correct method to do this would be though...
Comment 3 Fabian Groffen gentoo-dev 2015-12-27 09:14:33 UTC
So, you have a /system/lib/libandroid.so on your system?

Yep, I am updating gentoo-prefix on a android tablet.

Kim Nilsson had the same problem, if you look closely at the build log attached to this bug you will see that it auto-detected linux-android and then complained about the C compiler not working, I had almost the exact same build failure but this time I hacked it to a working state.

It would be better if I understood how to turn off auto-detection via setting EXTRA_ECONF or something, but I did not see how to set perl's rather different config system to do that...

Anyway this hack worked in my case so, I thought I would drop it here and hopefully help other people until a better fix is found :)

this needs revisiting with latest setup
