Bug 547292 – [TRACKER] uclibc stages: packages linking against libintl required LDFLAGS=-lintl

• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 570544
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Anthony Basile 2015-04-21 12:44:22 UTC]

This bug report is for the currently supported uclibc stages found at

<mirror>/releases/amd64/autobuilds/current-stage3-amd64-uclibc-hardened/
<mirror>/releases/amd64/autobuilds/current-stage3-amd64-uclibc-vanilla/

<mirror>/releases/x86/autobuilds/current-stage3-i686-uclibc-hardened/
<mirror>/releases/x86/autobuilds/current-stage3-i686-uclibc-vanilla/

<mirror>/experimental/arm/uclibc/

<mirror>/experimental/mips/uclibc/

In those stages, libintl is provided by sys-devel/gettext which installs /usr/lib/libintl.so, as they do on the bsd systems.  This is because uclibc's libintl has issues.  As a result, for packages where you build with USE=nls, you have to add LDFLAGS=-lintl to get the build to work.  You can do this by adding a line to /etc/portage/package.env.  `man 5 portage` for details.

This tracker is to track bugs that come up and to follow progress towards fixing the uclibc issues.

Reproducible: Always

closing this bug in favor of 570544.  while this bug was specifically about adding -lintl, and should be confused with other uclibc bugs, especially those where you need to add -liconv, these are very easy to identiy and we can do so in the indivitual bugs.
