Bug 29131 – Compile error in Gnome-network:ppp_applet

• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 27386
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Phill Gardner 2003-09-19 09:27:56 UTC]

I'm trying to emerge the gnome-network package and I got past the original 
compile error reported in bug 27386 suing the provided patch.  Unfortunately I'm 
stuck with this one now:

: undefined reference to `g_string_free'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[4]: *** [ppp_applet] Error 1
make[4]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/gnome-network-1.0.

make[3]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[3]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/gnome-network-1.0.

make: *** [all-recursive-am] Error 2
 
!!! ERROR: gnome-extra/gnome-network-1.0.2-r1 failed.
!!! Function src_compile, Line 43, Exitcode 2
!!! compile error
 
Prior to it crapping out, there are tons of warnings undefined references in 
various libgnome_functions like 

../../gnome-ppp/libgnome_ppp/libgnome_ppp.a(dns.o)(.text+0xaa): In function 
`dns_add_entries':
: undefined reference to `g_string_free'
../../gnome-ppp/libgnome_ppp/libgnome_ppp.a(dns.o)(.text+0x281): In function 
`dns_remove_entries':
: undefined reference to `g_string_free'


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge gnome-network
2. wait 5 minutes
3. cry

Actual Results:  
compile error

Expected Results:  
compile

can you attach the full build log?

Created attachment 18224 [details]
portage build log for Gnome-network

This is the log that Portage generates for gnome-network.  Just in case it
matters, I am using gnome 2.4 and I started as a fresh build from bootstrap
yesterday.  Some of the original errors are gone and I have attributed that to
possibly building the system wrong (~x86 was set on stage 1 build.), but it
still fails
