with USE="boost" emerge ibus-libpinyin fails during configure with > checking for Boost's header version... > configure: error: invalid value: boost_major_version= This used to work, but latest versions of GCC behave differently, which has caused this issue in all versions of ibus-libpinyin. issue is that testconfig.c output now contains a bunch of junk (comment lines etc.) it never used to. The configure script uses this to pull out BOOST_LIB_VERSION , which is the bit that is broken, as it isn't finding the version number.
The problem can be fixed by using the latest version of the boost.m4 macro, as this has additional steps which strip out the junk from testconfig.c output. I have submitted this fix to upstream project which has been merged https://github.com/libpinyin/ibus-libpinyin/pull/134
Created attachment 537684 [details] git request-pull output (as github is currently down) This is possible alternative workflow - without dependancy on github (which is currently down)
