Description Denis Pronin 2018-10-17 08:01:23 UTC

Hi, 

I found the package not correctly compiling and linking when -flto provided in CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS/LDFLAGS
I sort it out and made a PR in github https://github.com/bruceg/nullmailer/pull/56

I am waiting for a response from the maintainer. When they are through we will need to introduce changes

Thank you

Comment 1 Denis Pronin 2018-10-17 09:48:38 UTC

Guys, my mistake, package is not required to have anything changed

We need to update our ebuild-file so that, when we're about to configure package, provide environment variables like AR=$(AR) and RANLIB=$(RANLIB), so that it would look like:

AR=$(AR) RANLIB=$(RANLIB) <ANY_OTHER_ENVIRONMENT_VARIABLES_PASSED>  ./configure

Comment 2 Denis Pronin 2018-10-17 09:54:30 UTC

also we need to remove this line from ebuild 
sed \
		-e "s:^AC_PROG_RANLIB:AC_CHECK_TOOL(AR, ar, false)\nAC_PROG_RANLIB:g" \
		-i configure.ac || die

Comment 3 Denis Pronin 2018-10-17 10:36:06 UTC

So, the solution is to use tc-getAR and tc-getRANLIB eclass's functions when configuring the package by means of econf

Which values for AR and RANLIB does configure detect on your box without these?

Build log

I'm getting the following error with sys-devel/gcc-config[-native-symlinks]:

./mergelib.sh: line 12: ar: command not found

and with `export AR="$(tc-getAR)"` I get:

./mergelib.sh: line 16: ranlib: command not found

    mail-mta/nullmailer: Set environment variables AR and RANLIB.
    
    The build systems falls back to `ar` and `ranlib` otherwise.
