Bug 469800 – media-sound/mpd : does not respect AR

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Agostino Sarubbo 2013-05-14 09:00:10 UTC]

You receive this bug because this package does not respect my system's AR (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-ar) and calls directly /usr/bin/ar
The possible solutions to fix this issue are:
1)Fix the buildsystem, if you can;
2)inherit toolchain-funcs and use tc-export AR
3)inherit toolchain-funcs and use emake AR="$(tc-getAR)"


From the build log:

ar cru libutil.a src/util/list_sort.o src/util/byte_reverse.o src/util/bit_reverse.o

The build log is really useful in issues like compile failure. This bug is reproducible everywhere.

patch against latest ebuild

I've patched makefile/configure.ac and added an AC_PROG_AR macro. This should fix the ar issue. please review.

Can you please take this patch upstream? Also please use unified diffs (diff -u) next time.
