Description Martin 2005-08-26 10:16:14 UTC
the merging of media-gfx/splashutils-1.1.9.7 fails during emerge. I went to
emerge the splashutils-package with the command "emerge splashutils". All
packages were unpacked correctly, all syscalls have been found but then the
emerge stops and gives out a error message (posted below). I searched
google.de/linux but nobody seems to have the same problem. It might be necessary
to know, that i am using the nvidia-kernel-module for my graphic card and the
vesafb-framebuffer.

here is my kernel-configuration for framebuffer-related things (in the case if
it's my fault)

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge media-gfx/splashutils
2. during patching the kernel the emerge stops
3. emerge gives out an error-message

Actual Results:  
splash.o(.text+0x148): In function `main':
: undefined reference to `boot_message'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [splash_util] Error 1

!!! ERROR: media-gfx/splashutils-1.1.9.7 failed.
!!! Function src_compile, Line 117, Exitcode 2
!!! failed to build splashutils



Expected Results:  
emerge splashutils without any errors

Comment 1 Martin 2005-08-26 11:07:22 UTC
Version 1.1.9.9 of splashutils works for me. Because the package is actually
masked, you have to do the following steps before, or you will crash your
portage tree. First you have to check, if you have the needed files in
/etc/portage/. if not, then do this from the command-line:

# touch /etc/portage/package.unmask
# touch /etc/portage/package.keywords

then you have to enter this on the command-line.

# echo ">=media-gfx/splashutils-1.1.9.9" >> /etc/portage/package.unmask
# echo "media-gfx/splashutils" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords
# emerge splashutils

if the luck is on your side, the emerge will finish without any errors. This fix
 works for my kernel (2.6.12-gentoo-r9). I don't have it tested with other
kernel-versions yet.

Martin.
