build log and emerge --info (compressed because it exceeds attachment limit, use 'xzless' to read it)

Comment 3 Cheyenne Wills 2024-11-17 18:42:14 UTC

Looks like the fop package doesn't install a binary called "fop", but is using a slotted version, fop-2.8

Configure is using the check:

    AC_CHECK_PROGS([DOCBOOK2PDF], [fop dblatex docbook2pdf], [echo])]) 

which leads to configure failing to find a valid docbook2pdf routine.

Comment 4 Cheyenne Wills 2024-12-12 20:26:34 UTC

Not quite sure how to correctly fix this.

Upstream is looking for "fop", but the gentoo package for fop adds a version to the name of the binary (e.g. fop-2.8) due to package slotting.

Unless there is a reliable method to get the name of the fop binary, I will have to remove fop as a dependency and not use it for building the doc.

IMO the fop package is broken.

Comment 6 Cheyenne Wills 2025-01-06 00:29:19 UTC

The update to fop to drop the slot fixes the problem.

BTW, there was arguably a build system bug here too, as it should've failed on the fop call failing, not left it for us to fail later when we tried to call newdoc on a non-existent file.
