Hi. I use inn to fetch/post usenet news. I know its no longer in the |
| 2 |
tree, but I would like to keep it going. The last version in the tree |
| 3 |
2.5.5-r1 no longer configures, so I wrote an ebuild similar to the |
| 4 |
ones that used to be there which I copied to my local ebuilds for |
| 5 |
2.6.3. This configures and compiles fine, but gets linking errors |
| 6 |
where it cannot find symbol HISTLOOKUP. |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
Now what is strange is if I just get the tarball and configure with |
| 9 |
the same parameters and compile out of tree, it works fine -- at least |
| 10 |
up to the point of make install. I would like to do things in such a |
| 11 |
way that portage knows its there in case there is a preserved lib or |
| 12 |
something that I need to take care of. I could not figure what the |
| 13 |
difference is as to why the ebuild does not work and my out of tree |
| 14 |
compile works, so it looks like I have two choices: |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
1. unmerge and just maintain the out of tree build or |
| 17 |
2. Leave it there and just do a make update which copies the binaries |
| 18 |
over the old ones. If I do number 2, it might be impossible to go to |
| 19 |
the 17.1 profile, so I am of two minds about this. |

If anyone has any insight into this I would appreciate it very much. |

Thanks. |

How do |
