Description Diego Elio Pettenò (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-10-24 19:43:26 UTC
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

zomg, this packages dates back from 2001, it's probably some dead piece of gnome 1 or early gnome 2.

The only dep in tree that uses this is orpheus. I think this should seriously die or migrate to libsoup or something more modern.

@sound, hi guys, any input of orpheus migration to something better than libghttp ?
Comment 3 Gilles Dartiguelongue (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-04-26 19:45:16 UTC
ok this package has gone the way of the dodo as of the gnome migration to git which is more than indicative that this package should die asap.

@sound, I'm going to remove support for libghttp in orpheus in a week or so unless you speek now so I can pmask this package.
