Bug 270595 – sys-apps/paludis-0.36.1 fails to compile with linker errors

• Status: RESOLVED OBSOLETE
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Andreas Wiese 2009-05-20 16:47:09 UTC]

I'm just about setting up an AlphaServer 800 5/500 (Noritake EV56).
With a freshly unpacked stage3 (20090516) and a just synced portage
tree, I wanted to install paludis-0.36.1, but the build fails with strange linker errors (I never saw those before).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~alpha" USE="-*" emerge -av sys-apps/paludis
2.
3.

Actual Results:

Expected Results:  
Either an installed paludis or an error I would be able to debug :)

Would you please attach the output of emerge --info?

[Comment 2 Ciaran McCreesh 2009-05-20 19:36:17 UTC]

Jer, why did you remove the "on alpha" part from the summary? It's rather important to the bug.

In any case, there's ticket:759 on Paludis' trac. It's probably easier to keep things there.

It constitutes a duplication of the information in the Hardware field. Trivial really. :)

Created attachment 191940 [details]
emerge --info

Sorry, forgot this.  Yeah, I opened #759 at pioto.org...  Would have mentioned, but did first open this bug here.

[Comment 5 Andreas Wiese 2009-05-20 20:50:18 UTC]

Perhaps I should've mentioned:  libtool is ~alpha, being my first shot for a
plausible cause.  But either it isn't, or there's a bug in there, that's not fixed since 1.5.3 (not sure about the minor number).

-mcpu and -mtune in CFLAGS aren't making trouble neither.  I already tested building with the default make.conf CFLAGS.  Build also fails with standard USE settings (just tried -* for reducing number of failure sources).

[Comment 6 Ciaran McCreesh 2009-05-20 20:56:10 UTC]

On other archs I'd expect to see an -fPIC being shoved in there by libtool. If you manually add -fPIC to CXXFLAGS, does it work?

[Comment 7 Andreas Wiese 2009-05-20 22:15:15 UTC]

Nope, sorry.  Same results with -fPIC in CXXFLAGS only and in both LDFLAGS and CXXFLAGS (with --mode=compile -fPIC gets set, so I guess you meant LDFLAGS, so for the second try I set this too).

[Comment 8 Ciaran McCreesh 2009-05-20 22:19:06 UTC]

Hrm. Google suggests that this is -fPIC related too. Are you absolutely sure that -fPIC is being passed to g++ for everything that gets compiled?

[Comment 9 Andreas Wiese 2009-05-21 00:49:56 UTC]

Hrm, not absolutely.  I'll investigate this tomorrow or the day after ~™.

[Comment 10 Pacho Ramos 2012-04-06 14:52:57 UTC]

Is this still valid with paludis-0.72.2? If not, feel free to close this bug

[Comment 11 Robert Piasek (RETIRED) 2012-04-21 20:20:48 UTC]

This version of paludis is no longer in portage tree. If you can still re-produce this issue with current version, please re-open this bug.
