Bug 912421 – app-text/qpdf-11 Compile failure if random devices aren't detected (chromiumos)

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Clayton Whitelaw 2023-08-17 19:47:46 UTC]

>=app-text/qpdf-11.0.0 (tested with 11.5.0)

QPDF moved from traditional ./configure and make to CMake in v11. In the ChromiumOS SDK, we build this package for a target device, using a sysroot for that device that doesn't have /dev/urandom etc.

The compile step fails with the new CMake workflow, which looks for these devices on non-windows platforms and throws an error if it can't find them, so it fails to build in our case. When I create a dummy /dev/urandom file in that sysroot, it builds successfully.

The variable RANDOM_DEVICE in libqpdf/CMakeLists.txt controls this behavior. If I pass -DRANDOM_DEVICE=/dev/urandom via the cmake args in the ebuild, this also completes the build successfully.

Is there any reason this device wouldn't be present at runtime for a Gentoo system at this time?

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
This is chromiumos related setup:
Set up a chromiumos SDK
(inside SDK) $ cros_portage_upgrade --upgrade --unstable-ok --board=amd64-generic qpdf
(outside SDK) $ cros build-packages --board=amd64-generic
Actual Results:  
Compilation fails

/build/amd64-generic/tmp/portage/app-text/qpdf-11.5.0/work/qpdf-11.5.0/libqpdf/SecureRandomDataProvider.cc:105:4: error: "Don│/build/amd64-generic
't know how to generate secure random numbers on this platform.  See random number generation in the top-level README.md"

Expected Results:  
Compiles successfully

I also think qpdf is doing something wacky here in the first place, so I filed an issue with them to see if it can be cleaned up upstream.

This is a new account so I can't post URLs, so see github qpdf/qpdf/issues/1022
