Description Helmut Jarausch 2021-12-21 12:41:59 UTC

abseil-cpp-20211102.0 installs 
/usr/lib64/libabsl_wyhash.so.2103.0.1
but no symlink /usr/lib64/libabsl_wyhash.so to this.

This makes building of chromium fail. (linkage error: cannot find -labsl_wyhash)

This makes building of tensorflow fail also.

chromium does not even use packaged abseil-cpp.

or you mean locally-build chromium, not via ebuild?

/usr/lib64/libabsl_wyhash.so.2103.0.1 file you still have is probably leftover from old version saved by portage because removing it would break packages.

wyhas was renamed to LowLevelHash


https://github.com/abseil/abseil-cpp/commit/8910297baf87e1777c4fd30fb0693eecf9f2c134


so probably software you are trying to build is not compatible with that absl version, maybe it should pin/use older one or be patches to use LowLevelHash and not wyhash.


I don't see anything I can do from absl package side.

/usr/lib64/libabsl_low_level_hash.so
/usr/lib64/libabsl_low_level_hash.so.2111.0.0

^ those files are installed correctly with abseil-cpp-20211102.0
