Description Nick Solon 2011-01-13 03:46:02 UTC
After a very recent "emerge --sync" and "emerge -uD world", the only package which fails is sys-apps/groff-1.20.1-r3.  My current verions is groff-1.20.1-r1.  I can't find any obvious hints or helpful information on forums, bugzilla or the Groff website.  The error output is displayed below and it revolves around several undefined references.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run emerge --sync to get latest portage tree
2. Run emerge -uD groff for latest stable build
3. Failed emerge

Actual Results:  
Emerge fails

Expected Results:  
Should compile and link successfully.

Make runs successfully until it encounters this part:

Oh, I've set my MAKEOPTS="-j1" just to rule that out.

Remove the `inline' keyword as described in the last entry of the
PROBLEMS file.  I haven't had time yet to fix this.

Comment 6 Jeroen Roovers (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2011-01-18 18:22:59 UTC
sys-devel/gcc:       4.1.2, 4.3.4, 4.4.4-r2

Maybe it's time to switch to a newer GCC version.
Comment 7 Nick Solon 2011-01-18 22:52:38 UTC
Thanks!  Yes, upgrading to gcc-4.4.4 does resolve the issue.  Groff was the last package I would expect to break under an older GCC ;-)
Comment 8 Dave Kemper 2011-02-03 21:31:54 UTC
If groff-1.20.1-r3 requires a particular gcc version, shouldn't this be made an explicit dependency?

I am sure upgrading all those system packages would solve the issue.
Comment 12 Samuli Suominen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2011-02-09 17:23:37 UTC
not required, just use latest stable gcc and the issue is closed
Comment 13 Dave Kemper 2011-02-09 18:17:40 UTC
(In reply to comment #11)
> I am sure upgrading all those system packages would solve the issue.

I am sure that upgrading just gcc would solve the issue, as reported in comment #7.

The point is that emerge is unaware of this gcc dependency.  Making >=sys-devel/gcc-4.4.4 a groff-1.20.1-r3 dependency is a trivially easy way to prevent users from hitting this snag.

The larger point is that the groff code is doing something that does not appear to be valid C++, but that gcc-4.4.4 happens to accept anyway.  Back-versions of gcc would build groff just fine if its code were correct.  So the right way to solve the problem is to fix the invalid groff code.  (This may have already been done; there is a groff 1.21 out there, though it's not in portage yet.)

Ah, it turns out sys-apps/groff-1.21 is in portage after all; it's just masked on x86.  It built and installed successfully with the command:

ACCEPT_KEYWORDS='~x86' emerge sys-apps/groff

using the same gcc (4.1.1-r3) that fails to build sys-apps/groff-1.20.1-r3.

I see a couple possible ways to handle this:

1.  Mask sys-apps/groff-1.20.1-r3, since the compilation problem is due to a coding error specific to this release.

2.  Make gcc-4.4.4 a dependency of =sys-apps/groff-1.20.1-r3, since gcc-4.4.4 is more forgiving of the particular coding error in groff-1.20.1-r3.

Oh, and in light of the above, the summary of this bug should be modified to say "=sys-apps/groff-1.20.1-r3 fails..." rather than ">=sys-apps/groff-1.20.1-r3 fails...", but that's apparently another thing Bugzilla won't let me update.

Found this

http://d.hatena.ne.jp/meech/20100811/1281477968

which seems to describe these steps to fix (worked for me)

- edit /usr/portage/sys-apps/groff/files/groff-1.20.1-Thtml-mem-leak.patch
  take out the inline
- run digest on ebuild
  ebuild groff-1.20.1-r3.ebuild digest

now emerge groff -1
