Description Christopher Friedt 2009-07-09 19:27:21 UTC 
net-misc/spread-4.0.0 does not cross compile. The provided configure script fails with the following message:

checking whether snprintf correctly terminates long strings... configure: error: cannot run test program while cross compiling
See `config.log' for more details.



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.cross compile net-misc/spread-4.0.0
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
error (see above)

Expected Results:  
(fairly) clean, and successful build

see my attachments, which include 

a) a patch to configure.in
b) a patch to spread-4.0.0.ebuild
c) a new spread-4.1.0.ebuild

The ebuilds add ~arm to KEYWORDS

spread-4.1.0.ebuild

This ebuild WILL fail because spread-src-4.1.0.tar.gz does not exist on gentoo mirrors, but rather than use a completely unofficial mirror, I left the SRC_URI as is.
Comment 4 Christopher Friedt 2009-07-09 19:35:17 UTC 
Bug #241084 depends on spread-4.0.0.ebuild.patch . The patch fixes undetected CFLAGS and LDFLAGS.
Comment 5 Pacho Ramos gentoo-dev 2012-02-26 12:27:16 UTC 
Is this still valid with 4.1.0 after resyncing?
