This ebuild of FreeBSD's build of the GNU getopt library provides getopt_long, which is not otherwise present on IRIX (and may not be present on other platforms without a GNU C library). Some source - media-libs/speex for example - already provide a configure option to use libgnugetopt if present. I'm not sure where the canonical home of the source is, so I've included the source tarball with the ebuild. There may well be updated source out there...
Created attachment 197197 [details] libgnugetopt ebuild and source Extracts to usr/portage/distfiles and usr/local/portage/
(Or, looking again at the speex patch, can be convinced to use libgnugetopt at least...)
IIRC, gnulib does provide both getopt and getopt_long. As we build some modules (including getopt) of gnulib as library on some platforms already, I'm wondering if this could work for IRIX too - please have a look at dev-libs/gnulib/.
Hmm - I'm not sure I've quite got the hang of gnulib, but I installed it and then ran 'gnulib-tools --import getopt' during groff's configure stage (since groff is a package which fails due to getopt_long not being present)... but this failed in the same way. I guess this means that either the above isn't how gnulib is supposed to be used, or that gnulib's getopt module doesn't include getopt_long... Should this have worked?
I just tried "gnulib-tool -s --import getopt" for speex, and got the following output: Module list with included dependencies: getopt gettext-h include_next link-warning unistd File list: build-aux/link-warning.h lib/dummy.c lib/getopt.c lib/getopt.in.h lib/getopt1.c lib/getopt_int.h lib/gettext.h lib/unistd.in.h m4/00gnulib.m4 m4/getopt.m4 m4/gnulib-common.m4 m4/include_next.m4 m4/onceonly.m4 m4/unistd_h.m4 Creating directory ./lib Creating directory ./m4 Copying file ./link-warning.h Copying file lib/dummy.c Copying file lib/getopt.c Copying file lib/getopt.in.h Copying file lib/getopt1.c Copying file lib/getopt_int.h Copying file lib/gettext.h Copying file lib/unistd.in.h Copying file m4/00gnulib.m4 Copying file m4/getopt.m4 Copying file m4/gnulib-common.m4 Copying file m4/gnulib-tool.m4 Copying file m4/include_next.m4 Copying file m4/onceonly.m4 Copying file m4/unistd_h.m4 Creating lib/Makefile.am Creating m4/gnulib-cache.m4 Creating m4/gnulib-comp.m4 Finished. You may need to add #include directives for the following .h files. #include <getopt.h> You may need to use the following Makefile variables when linking. Use them in <program>_LDADD when linking a program, or in <library>_a_LDFLAGS or <library>_la_LDFLAGS when linking a library. $(LTLIBINTL) when linking with libtool, $(LIBINTL) otherwise Don't forget to - add "lib/Makefile" to AC_CONFIG_FILES in ./configure.ac, - mention "lib" in SUBDIRS in Makefile.am, - mention "-I m4" in ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS in Makefile.am, - mention "m4/gnulib-cache.m4" in EXTRA_DIST in Makefile.am, - invoke gl_EARLY in ./configure.ac, right after AC_PROG_CC, - invoke gl_INIT in ./configure.ac. ... which is, I'm afraid, out of my depth :o (AC_CONFIG_FILES doesn't exist in configure.ac, ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS doesn't exist in Makefile.am, AC_PROG_CC doesn't existing in configure.ac, and I don't know where to put the last one!)
(In reply to comment #4) > then ran 'gnulib-tools --import getopt' during groff's configure stage We make use of 'gnulib-tool --import' within dev-libs/gnulib.ebuild to create a libgnu.a with some subset of gnulib modules suitable for one specific platform. You might need to add another set of modules for your platform there. As 'gnulib-tools --import' usually is upstream package maintainers's job, we just link against libgnu.a instead. As long as the Makefiles know CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS, LDFLAGS, LIBS, this should be enough: inherit flag-o-matic DEPEND="mips-irix? ( dev-libs/gnulib )" src_configure() { if use mips-irix; then append-flags -I"${EPREFIX}"/usr/$(get_libdir)/gnulib/include append-ldflags -I"${EPREFIX}"/usr/$(get_libdir)/gnulib/lib append-libs -lgnu fi econf ... }
Hmm - problems here, then: my installation of gnulib includes neither the includes for any library to link against :( The only files installed by gnulib outside of ${EPREFIX}/usr/share/gnulib/ are: /opt/gentoo/usr/share/doc/gnulib-2009.03.03.14.07.45-r00.1/README.bz2 /opt/gentoo/usr/share/doc/gnulib-2009.03.03.14.07.45-r00.1/ChangeLog.bz2 /opt/gentoo/usr/bin/gnulib-tool
We are sorry to close this bug. We lack the man-power and devotion to support mips-irix in the tree.
