• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description MIchal Kuhn 2005-01-16 08:32:08 UTC]

When I've tried to install apache-2.0.52-r2 with gawk 3.1.4 installed I am receiving following error:

 `cat export_files` > exports.c

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge apache
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
I've checked /var/tmp/portage/apache-2.0.52-r2/work/httpd-2.0.52/server/exports.c

and saw following

/*
 * THIS FILE WAS AUTOGENERATED BY make_exports.awk
 *
 * This is an ugly hack that needs to be here, so
 * that libtool will link all of the APR functions
 * into server regardless of whether the base server
 * uses them.
 */

#define CORE_PRIVATE

#include "ap_compat.h"
#include "ap_config_auto.h"
#include "ap_config.h"
#include "ap_config_layout.h"
#include "ap_listen.h"

 . . . . . . . 
ending with 
const void *ap_ugly_hack = NULL;

/*
 * /var/tmp/portage/apache-2.0.52-r2/work/httpd-2.0.52/include/ap_mpm.h
 */
#endif

After installation of gawk 3.1.3-r2 is all ok. Seems to be buggy gawk 3.1.4


Expected Results:  
Correct build of Apache server

can someone rip this apart and produce a small test case ?

[Comment 2 Daniel Kenzelmann 2005-01-22 07:11:07 UTC]

True, seems to be a gawk problem, same error for me and with other packages like dev-libs/libgpg-error there are errors too.

[Comment 3 Elfyn McBratney 2005-01-22 08:15:46 UTC]

I'm looking into the Apache side of things now..

[Comment 4 Elfyn McBratney 2005-01-22 08:54:38 UTC]

gawk 1.3.4 seems quite fecked, which is making the stripping down harder.. I'll carry on unless someone beats me to it ;)

[Comment 5 Elfyn McBratney 2005-01-22 10:11:52 UTC]

Ahem, 3.1.4..

This bug(s) are fixed in Fedora (gawk-3.1.4-4), but I'm really out-dated with regard to RPM's..  could someone familiar with the tools extract these patches?  Otherwise lurning-curve coming up.. (wheeeee)

[Comment 6 Elfyn McBratney 2005-01-22 20:51:18 UTC]

Created attachment 49252 [details, diff]
Add epatch to ebuild for forthcoming patch..

[Comment 7 Elfyn McBratney 2005-01-22 20:53:24 UTC]

Created attachment 49253 [details, diff]
Patch to fix DFA cache buggery..

This patch resolves the issue.	It's taken from Fedora (I added a comment at
the top of the patch crediting them, I didn't however mention anything about
Red Hat sitting on patches for months, and months.. sigh..)

[Comment 8 Tuan Van (RETIRED) 2005-01-23 14:18:48 UTC]

or we could try the LC_ALL=C hack in bug #78749. WFM.

[Comment 9 Mike Gardiner (RETIRED) 2005-01-24 02:45:52 UTC]

Elfyn's patch fixes for me (against gawk-3.1.4), and I can subsequently build apache without problems.

[Comment 10 Christian Parpart (RETIRED) 2005-01-24 04:07:54 UTC]

The question *why* redhat did *not* submit the fix to 
upstream may be because it does not really fix the 
problem, it just disabled the feature (as of looking 
into the patch source) - but shall be applied anyway...

[Comment 11 SpanKY 2005-01-28 23:00:13 UTC]

please try gawk-3.1.4-r1

[Comment 12 Tuan Van (RETIRED) 2005-01-29 12:47:29 UTC]

with gawk-3.1.4-r1, WFM.

[Comment 13 SpanKY 2005-01-29 20:40:14 UTC]

thanks Elfyn, you saved my ass on that one :)

3.1.4-r1 seems to be fixing locale problems with other packages too
