Could you add emerge --info too please? Created attachment 466382 [details]

i686-unknown-linux-gnu-emerge --info
Sure thing. I attached both emerge --info and i686-unknown-linux-gnu-emerge --info (the crossdev toolchain I'm trying to install boost). Investigating further, it seems that the problem is that when building boost through i686-unknown-linux-gnu-emerge, it will ignore the boost-build dependency, boost-build is the package needed for the bjam and b2 commands used in the boost ebuild
I don't understand why portage ignores that dependency since it is listed in the DEPEND variable.
Also, there is a second issue because the ebuild calls b2 directly, so instead it should do something like this:
${ROOT}/usr/bin/b2
which would be translated (in case of a i686-unknown-linux-gnu crossdev toolchain) to:
/usr/i686-unknown-linux-gnu/usr/bin/b2
I don't know the exact variable to use for that, so I used ROOT just as a example.
As a workaround for now, I can install in my system boost-build, which will install b2 to /usr/bin, making the toolchain boost emerge works.
nothing we can do here at this point. you'll have to manually `emerge boost-build` before you try to cross-compile boost. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 317337 *** |
Created attachment 466288 [details] build.log Any boost version in portage fails to compile on a crossdev toolchain because it can't find the script b2. Attached the build.log with the error. I tested it with every version available but all fails in the same place. The command I did was USE="static-libs" emerge-wrapper --target i686-unknown-linux-gnu -1 dev-libs/boost --jobs=1
