Description Jonas Stein gentoo-dev 2016-01-28 20:30:01 UTC 
Upstream ships zlib.h with the source, while gentoo provides its own package for zlib AFAIK. 

*  Skipping ghostscript-gpl-9.12-sys-zlib.patch due to EPATCH_EXCLUDE ...

make[2]: *** No rule to make target '/var/tmp/portage/app-text/ghostscript-gpl-9.18/temp/zlib.h', needed by 'soobj/gdevgprf.o'.  Stop.

On #ghostscript I got the following hint today:
"Oh, there was a problem with gprf and xpswrite not working with the system zlib. Fixed a bit over a week ago" Perhaps it helps...


Reproducible: Always

This build failure was introduced in:

commit 31c685e18c5b9b558b7deb85d8235f4e9007ac80

    app-text/ghostscript-gpl: fix zlib include path usage
    
    The ghostscript-gpl-9.12-sys-zlib.patch attempts to change the include
    path from the local copy in the src to the common includedir flag set
    by configure flags.  This generally works for native builds, but breaks
    when cross-compiling.  Drop the patch and set the zlib src dir to the
    temp dir instead.

i might have only verified 9.15 as 9.18 is masked.  i'll take a look.
