Comment 2 Sam Iam 2008-11-23 21:28:47 UTC
After some searching, found that this was created by not including <limits.h>. Apparently, configure script fails to properly detect the availability of limits.h and doesn't set the 'HAVE_LIMITS_H' flag. When I tried 'CFLAGS="-DHAVE_LIMITS_H" ./configure' in the workdir, everything compiles fine. Don't know how to fix this properly within the ebuild though.

Comment 3 Sam Iam 2008-11-26 19:54:50 UTC
After checking some more, I found that the configure.ac does include a check for limits.h, but it fails to detect on x86 ( /usr/include/limits.h does exist). How ever, it detects properli on amd64. Here are the config.log snippets from the two arches.

------amd64-arch---
configure:3849: checking for limits.h
configure:3859: gcc -E  -I$(top_srcdir)/src conftest.c
configure:3865: $? = 0
configure:3884: result: yes
-------------------

------x86-arch---
configure:3849: checking for limits.h
configure:3859:   -I$(top_srcdir)/src conftest.c
./configure: line 3860: -I$(top_srcdir)/src: No such file or directory
configure:3865: $? = 127
configure: failed program was:
#line 3855 "configure"
#include "confdefs.h"
#include <limits.h>
configure:3884: result: no
--------------

If you look closely, you'll see that in 'configure:3859:' line, the actual gcc command is missing for the x86 arch where as it has the correct command in amd64.

I'm at the limit of my knowledge of autotools and I don't think I can help solve this any further. I'll be happy to try any tricks that anyone else can suggest.

Comment 4 Daniel Black (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-01-04 08:07:56 UTC
given the last release was in 2003-11-28 i'm tempted to purge this.

Sam  - thanks for trying. Your fix in comment #2 is probably enough for a dated package.
Comment 5 Diego Elio Pettenò (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-01-12 18:29:41 UTC
Let's add that this package collides with other syslog providers as it is (with l-h 2.6.28 it seems to compile without patching), so I'd suggest to just treeclean it if it's not useful for something.
Comment 6 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2009-01-14 04:40:21 UTC
if it does stay, you'll need this fix:

Let's do it. Assign to treecleaner@g.o if you want us to take care of it.
