The wvstreams-3.70.ebuild file (cvs ver 1.1) contains a typo at the end of the src_install() routine. Instead of "|| die" to end processing on an error, the file has "|| dir" which causes any compiling errors to go undetected, and a false installation to proceed. This bug is fairly obvious when compiling this package with gcc3.1 (Gentoo 1.3a) as the package has some gcc 3.1 specific problem. As a side note - wouldn't it be more proper for the file to have seperate src_compile() and src_install() routines, instead of just 1 _install routine?
my fault on the typo and the lack of src_compile() dunno what I was thinking that day. Anyway, that has been sorted. I'm punting this bug report to the gcc-3 team to see if they can sort out that issue.
I had opened a seperate gcc3 bug, (bug 3956) to cover the gcc3 issues. :) And the new ebuild looks much better. Thanks! (Marking Fixed)
