Needed for sys-apps/fwupd-1.7.0's new USE=logitech (which I believe covers my logitech cordless keyboard and touchpad's usb adaptor).

With MAKEOPTS=-j1 it fails even faster:

protobuf-c-1.3.3 merges fine.
Comment 5 Tee KOBAYASHI 2021-10-24 17:00:48 UTC
Works for me.

Note that the command

/usr/bin/protoc -I/tmp/portage/dev-libs/protobuf-c-1.4.0/work/protobuf-c-1.4.0 --cpp_out=. /tmp/portage/dev-libs/protobuf-c-1.4.0/work/protobuf-c-1.4.0/protobuf-c/protobuf-c.proto

said "google/protobuf/descriptor.proto: File not found."

On my environment, /usr/include/google/protobuf/descriptor.proto has been installed with dev-libs/protobuf-3.17.3, and it can be found by the protoc command. FWIW, strace of the command has the following lines:

access("/usr/bin/google/protobuf/descriptor.proto", F_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
access("/usr/bin/include/google/protobuf/descriptor.proto", F_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
access("/usr/include/google/protobuf/descriptor.proto", F_OK) = 0

Downgrading to dev-libs/protobuf-c-1.3.3-r1 (masking out dev-libs/protobuf-c-1.4.0-r1 temporarily) before emerging protobuf-c-1.4.0-r1 did the job for me.

Would have been nice if it worked here, but with protobuf-3.17.3 and protobuf-c-1.3.3-r1 merged, I still get the same error trying to merge protobuf-c-1.4.0-r1. =:^(

The good news, however, is that with a (not yet in-tree) fix for bug #818790 against fwupd with USE=logitech (that being what I needed protobuf-c for), I've tested it against protobuf-c-1.3.3-r1 and it works, so while I can't get 1.4.0 merged, I'm not out functionality until we can figure out and fix whatever's breaking 1.4.0 for me here.

What exact command did you use?  Simply "protoc" just prints a help message and stracing it doesn't yield anything useful. There's no manpage and not knowing what protoc is actually supposed to do the help "isn't helpful".  (But see below.)

> such file or directory)
> access("/usr/bin/include/google/protobuf/descriptor.proto", F_OK) = -1
> ENOENT (No such file or directory)
> access("/usr/include/google/protobuf/descriptor.proto", F_OK) = 0

But then I looked a bit closer at the log and saw where you were getting the protobuf command from, so I tried just copying it from the log.  Tho of course I'm not in the same environment as the build, am executing as a different user, and I'm not sure I'm executing from the same dir which could matter as I see that "--cpp_out=."  So I'm not entirely sure the strace results are reflective of what the build run would get.  Never-the-less, from the build's amd64 abi subdir (additional newlines between lines added for clarity)...

$ strace -efile /usr/bin/protoc -I/tmp/portage/dev-libs/protobuf-c-1.4.0-r1/work/protobuf-c-1.4.0 --cpp_out=. /tmp/portage/dev-libs/protobuf-c-1.4.0-r1/work/protobuf-c-1.4.0/protobuf-c/protobuf-c.proto 2>&1 | grep descript

access("/bin/google/protobuf/descriptor.proto", F_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)

access("/bin/include/google/protobuf/descriptor.proto", F_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)

newfstatat(AT_FDCWD, "/tmp/portage/dev-libs/protobuf-c-1.4.0-r1/work/protobuf-c-1.4.0/google/protobuf/descriptor.proto", 0x7fffbe8f1410, 0) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)

openat(AT_FDCWD, "/tmp/portage/dev-libs/protobuf-c-1.4.0-r1/work/protobuf-c-1.4.0/google/protobuf/descriptor.proto", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)

google/protobuf/descriptor.proto: File not found.

protobuf-c/protobuf-c.proto:31:1: Import "google/protobuf/descriptor.proto" was not found or had errors.


Two things to note:

1) Explaining the /bin (not /usr/bin), I have a "reverse usr-merge".  That is, /usr is a symlink: /usr -> . , so /usr/bin is canonically /bin (and it picked up on that), /usr/lib64 is /lib64, /usr/include is /include ... but the /usr/* locations normally still work and portage installs to them actually install to / due to the /usr -> . symlink.

2) While I have parallels to your (/usr)/bin/ accesses with the expected -1 ENOENT results, I'm missing your (/usr)/include access, tho I can confirm the file is indeed there as it should be.

(It then appears to check the package-building location and fails to find it there either, before giving up.  I suppose your run didn't look there as it had found the file already.)


Meanwhile, at least from the changelog, there weren't /that/ many commits between 1.3.3 which builds for me and 1.4.0 which doesn't.  Maybe looking at the git commits will help. (Tho I'm not a dev, but sometimes I can spot things if they're obvious enough, often with some bisect help to narrow down the possibilities even further.)

Oh you! I always forget about this. In future, add it at the bottom of your bug reports so we don't forget about that factor.

A bisect would really help as I'm no protobuf expert.

Will poke more at the rest of what you said if we don't get any further with that. Help welcome from anybody else who knows anything about protobuf-c too ;)

Thanks for your debugging efforts as usual.
Comment 10 Duncan 2021-10-27 06:01:06 UTC
Upstream issue #491 is building with MS Visual Studio but the error appears to be the same and it suggests a CMakeLists.txt fix adding -I${PROTOBUF_INCLUDE_DIR} that I'm going to try creating a patch for...

Comment 11 Duncan 2021-10-27 10:09:45 UTC
(In reply to Duncan from comment #10)
> suggests a CMakeLists.txt fix

Unfortunately not so easy as gentoo's using the autotools builds, not cmake...

But I noticed the upstream changelog had numbers that correspond to their PRs with a 1:1 correspondence, so I went thru all of them.  Only one looks likely as a culprit:

protoc-c: add custom options support
https://github.com/protobuf-c/protobuf-c/pull/466

That's still 11 commits, but of the 11, one looked most interesting as it seems to add the plumbing the others use, /including/ the new protobuf-c.proto file that seems to be producing my errors:

protoc-c: add custom options support 
https://github.com/protobuf-c/protobuf-c/pull/466/commits/0e060260f0d13f51c545b498a49701308f398c96

Interleaving that with the info from comment #10's issue #491, I'm thinking it's the makefile.am changes, specifically the new line (113 and) 114, that need the change.  Untested but something like (pseudopatch, just using the cmake var from the issue, may be something else with autotools):

- $(AM_V_GEN)@PROTOC@ -I$(top_srcdir) --cpp_out=$(top_builddir) $(top_srcdir)/protobuf-c/protobuf-c.proto
+ $(AM_V_GEN)@PROTOC@ -I$(PROTOBUF_INCLUDE_DIR) -I$(top_srcdir) --cpp_out=$(top_builddir) $(top_srcdir)/protobuf-c/protobuf-c.proto

Looks like line 2633 may need similar.  I guess eautoreconf... will finish the job once we patch those.

Gotta be up in a couple hours so won't try it tonight, but with any luck this is most of the work anyway.

This "works for me" (tm)  Of course there were a few more things to patch up once I did the fix mentioned in the earlier comment, but once I had the idea down they were trivial as a global search&replace in Makefile.am.

Feel free to submit this upstream if considered appropriate, as well.
