• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Michael Hofmann 2019-02-17 23:39:04 UTC]

I get the error below when I emerge app-text/libetonyek-0.1.9 (stable on amd64):

checking glm/glm.hpp usability... no
checking glm/glm.hpp presence... yes
configure: WARNING: glm/glm.hpp: present but cannot be compiled
configure: WARNING: glm/glm.hpp:     check for missing prerequisite headers?
configure: WARNING: glm/glm.hpp: see the Autoconf documentation

configure: WARNING: glm/glm.hpp: proceeding with the compiler's result

configure: error: Required glm headers not found.

Output of emerge -pqv '=app-text/libetonyek-0.1.9::gentoo':

1) I tried to reinstall media-libs/glm-0.9.8.5-r1. That failed with errors like:

/var/tmp/portage/media-libs/glm-0.9.8.5-r1/work/glm-0.9.8.5/glm/detail/type_vec4_simd.inl:156:11: error: ‘struct glm::tvec4<float, (glm::precision)5>’ has no member named ‘data’
 
I switched to GCC 7.4.0-r1 last week. Could it be related to that switch?


2) I upgraded to media-libs/glm-0.9.9.2. No problems or errors.


3) After that, 'emerge libetonyek' ran without problems.


Proposed solution: upgrade to media-libs/glm-0.9.9.2.

That's probably Bug 673966

[Comment 3 Andreas Sturmlechner 2019-02-18 07:36:38 UTC]

Hm, this didn't come up in testing by myself nor arch stabilisation...

[Comment 4 Michael Hofmann 2019-02-18 13:46:26 UTC]

I can confirm that there is a problem in the ebuild of media-libs/glm-0.9.8.5-r1 and that it IS related to GCC 7.4.

I proposed a solution in Bug 673966.

I'll consider this fixed then.
