Bug 89530 – PATCH: dev-libs/popt-1.7-r2 configure failure on mips + 2.6 kernel

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

[Description dvorak 2005-04-18 07:42:10 UTC]

popt failes to compile on gentoo-mips with a linux 2.6 kernel
this is caused by a configure script that relies on /proc/cpuinfo
te give endian information which is no longer available in 2.6 kernels.

Patch is use another way of detection endianness below is a patch
that replaces the old detection with one copied form sudo. It might
be nicer to complement the old check in stead of just replacing it.

config.guess should be updated automatically by the gnuconfig package

if that isnt happening, find out why your system doesnt have 'autoconfig' in FEATURES
