Bug 165120 – sys-fs/evms-2.5.5-r5 can't build against glib-2 on uclibc

• Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Aurélien Francillon 2007-02-03 12:15:15 UTC]

Hi,
Recently changes have been made in order to be able to always build evms 
statically linked to glib, which is needed for ncurses interface.
However this needs >=glib-2* to work, see #152293.
On gentoo/uclibc glib-2 is masked ( i.e. glib-2.x requires working 
locale/iconv which isn't available atm in uclibc) 
So i propose a patch for the ebuild, in order to build against dynamic 
glib-1* library under uclibc.
It works for me on a x86/uclibc/hardened host.
Aurélien




Reproducible: Always

Aurélien: Can you shortly explain your use case, please?

hi,
I don't see very well why the use case matters here ... is it so strange to use evms on a uclibc host ? 

However, I have one "home server" which is running on x86/hardened/uclibc (/etc/make.profile -> /usr/portage/profiles/uclibc/x86/hardened//) 
i use evms on it with raid0 and raid1.

This patch makes evms build against glib1 for uclibc based hosts. 
it (hopefully?) changes nothing for others.

there is way too much noise in this patch ... do not make changes that are not relevant to the issue at hand

sys-fs/evms has been removed from portage tree
