I'm filing this bug (from a template, mind you) because the ebuild I'm reporting it against failed to build once I removed my /usr/bin/{gcc,cc,c++,c99} binaries. This means that the ebuild is relying on gcc or cc as compiler, while it should use "$(tc-getCC)" so that user choices are respected, and cross-compiling works as intended. This usually comes down to one of these tasks: - use emake CC="$(tc-getCC)" for building, to ovewrite make's CC variable (defaults to "cc", some upstream rewrites it); - the above plus replacing explicit "gcc" (or similar) calls with $(CC) so that the variable is actually respected; - tc-export CC in src_compile before eventual econf. For C++, you'd have to replace CC with CXX everywhere above, of course. If your package is a special case on this, please let me know. Thanks, Diego
Fix from bug 304625, Comment #5: + 29 Jun 2010; Samuli Suominen <ssuominen@gentoo.org> smlnj-110.71.ebuild: + Respect environment flags and targets wrt #243886 by Michael Weber. +
Still needs to go upstream
I've now fixed this issue with a slight variation of Michael Weber's patch (see bug 304625, thanks xmw!), but I'm leaving this bug open until an upstream solution is available.
versions currently in the tree have this fixed
