Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
emerge procps-3.3.4 or 3.3.6



If I add LDFLAGS="-lintl" then procps compiles fine

Its the same on my armv5tel based system. I tried re-emerge gettext but doesn't success.

[Comment 4 Rafał Mużyło 2013-03-15 17:15:06 UTC]

It looks like nobody tested this package outside glibc (or at least a libc without gettext).

The configure macros are in place, but Makefile.am aren't quite correct.

AM_GNU_GETTEXT sets up LTLIBINTL for this need.
lib/Makefile.am is probably just the first place where it needs to be added to LIBADD/LDADD.

It's an upstream bug.

builds fine for me, but i don't bother installing things like gettext

Works fine, thx SpanKY

[Comment 8 Tibor Vago 2013-03-21 16:18:04 UTC]

Ahm, sorry, I mean it compiles with USE="-nls". I'll test with USE="nls"...

[Comment 9 Tibor Vago 2013-03-23 15:26:17 UTC]

It compiles fine on glibc based systems. On uclibc based systems "nls" USE flag is masked out in profile.

I have nls use.masked on all default/linux/uclibc and hardened/linux/uclibc profiles for this reason.  Take a look at bug #547292 for what's going on here.  Once I fix that bug, I'll be able to unmask nls.

sys-libs/uclibc has been removed from the tree, replaced by sys-libs/uclibc-ng
