Bug 828100 – dev-qt/qt{concurrent,core,dbus,gui,network,opengl,printsupport,sql,test,widgets,xml}: ./configure: missing BDEPEND on which(1) (aka You don't seem to have 'make' or 'gmake' in your PATH.)

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

dev-qt:qtcore-5.15.2-r10:20211203-185804.log

The package fails with totally confusing error message if which(1) is not installed.

[Comment 1 Ionen Wolkens 2021-12-05 05:14:46 UTC]

But why would which be missing? Sure it's not posix / type but it's currently in profiles/base/packages (minus windows prefix fwiw)

Did have this thread though, unsure what happened there until more posts:

[Comment 2 Michał Górny 2021-12-05 06:05:02 UTC]

I guess I've un-based it to find packages that do not depend explicitly on it and finally have it removed from @system.

[Comment 3 Andreas Sturmlechner 2021-12-10 09:22:27 UTC]

Is this part of a plan, should we start to bdepend on sys-apps/which then?

Given that this is the first issue I've seen for months now, I think that'd be a good idea.  Or even better, convince upstream not to use it :-P.

[Comment 5 Andreas Sturmlechner 2021-12-16 14:56:19 UTC]

Upstream is unlikely to touch any of this considering qmake is obsolete in >=Qt6 and not really a problem KDE will be interested to look into, I guess, even if we provide a patch.

Usage/error comes from here:

[Comment 6 Andreas Sturmlechner 2021-12-16 15:39:59 UTC]

./configure is run for every QT5_MODULE=qtbase in qt5-build.eclass' qt5_base_configure()

[Comment 7 Davide Pesavento (RETIRED) 2021-12-16 16:04:48 UTC]

Don't all packages have an implicit dependency on the @system set? And last time I checked, sys-apps/which was in @system.

[Comment 8 Andreas Sturmlechner 2021-12-16 18:02:12 UTC]

It is, but ever so rarely a package is being dropped from @system.

(incidentally, someone in the forums had an issue with which as well recently, but it would not have been fixed by declaring BDEPEND anyway https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-1146061.html)

[Comment 12 Michał Górny 2022-06-10 04:06:32 UTC]

Ping.  Could you finally update BDEPEND to stop blocking the effort on this, please?  Already, just sed `which` into `command -v` if upstream insists on making shitty software.

Will introduce with Qt 5.15.5, due in a few days.
