Heads-up: |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
First, virtual/jdk:1.6 and virtual/jdk:1.5 are available on ppc-aix now, |
| 4 |
provided by dev-java/ibm-jdk-bin, which has been in-tree for linux |
| 5 |
already. |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
One of the prerequisites for that is app-portage/portage-util, |
| 8 |
consisting of linux-only sourcecode. |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
To get this flow with _minor_ changes on AIX, I've found dev-libs/gnulib |
| 11 |
already existing upstream. Using that's 'gnulib-tool' I'm now creating |
| 12 |
an autotoolized package installing libgnu.a and some headers on-the-fly, |
| 13 |
designed to provide many GNU-ish functions missing in the host's libc. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
If a package already contains some gnulib modules, using 'gnulib-tool' |
| 16 |
it should be possible to easily upgrade them or add new ones (haven't |
| 17 |
tried this yet). |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
OTOH, if a package does not ship with gnulib modules, or does not use |
| 20 |
autotools at all, it's easier to use the installed libgnu.a, simply by: |
| 21 |
append-flags -I"${EPREFIX}"/usr/$(get_libdir)/gnulib/include |
| 22 |
append-ldflags -L"${EPREFIX}"/usr/$(get_libdir)/gnulib/lib -lgnu |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
Eventually we could think of having flag-o-matic.eclass provide some |
| 25 |
append-gnulib-flags |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
The current gnulib-modules in that libgnu.a are: |
| 28 |
getopt |
| 29 |
strcasestr |
| 30 |
xvasprintf |
| 31 |
and their dependencies. |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
It does not work to pull in all ~1000 gnulib-modules, so I decided to |
| 34 |
start with the ones required by portage-utils on aix, and add modules |
| 35 |
one by one as they are required. |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
Thoughts? |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
Will try to reduce the size of the solaris patch for portage-utils using |
| 40 |
that libgnu.a now. |
