Subject: [gentoo-user] ksh(93) emerge failure
Date: Sat, 29 Dec 2007 00:50:30
Message-Id: 8763yie68f.fsf@newsguy.com
1 On a new install with profile `hardened/x86/2.6'. I'm finding that
2 ksh will not emerge successfully. The closing error is not very
3 enlightening, at least not to me:
4
5 * Messages for package app-shells/ksh-93.20040229:
6
7 * ERROR: app-shells/ksh-93.20040229 failed.
8 * Call stack:
9 * ebuild.sh, line 1701: Called dyn_compile
10 * ebuild.sh, line 1039: Called qa_call 'src_compile'
11 * ebuild.sh, line 44: Called src_compile
12 * ksh-93.20040229.ebuild, line 51: Called die
13 * The specific snippet of code:
14 * cd ${S}; ./bin/package only make ast-ksh CC="$(tc-getCC)" || die
15 * The die message:
16 * (no error message)

18 In the days before ksh93 (circa 2003/4) was an ebuild (or maybe I just
19 didn't know it was) it was a right pain to build and install it by
20 hand.
21
22 I've never understood the unusual build process of the KORN tools and
23 I see emerge go thru truly massive work to build it too. So the
24 chances of me finding what went wrong is just about non-existent.
25
26 Near as I can tell the closest thing to a similar bug that got
27 reported was in 2004 and it appears the only helpfull part of that was
28 setting `nls' as one of the USE items.
29
30 emerge is using `nls' and `-static' here. `nls' enables native
31 language support using gettext which I do have installed, also with
32 `nls' use set.
33
34 ==========
35
36 I've just noticed something by running `emerge -vDp ksh', it wants a
37 different compiler than I have installed.
38
39 gcc-4.1.1-r3 got installed when I started building up this new system.
40
41 ksh apparently wants:
42
43 [ebuild NS ] sys-devel/gcc-3.4.6-r2 USE="hardened nls (-altivec)
44 -bootstrap -boundschecking -build -d -doc -fortran -gcj -gtk -ip28
45 -ip32r10k -multilib -multislot (-n32) (-n64) -nocxx -nopie -nossp
46 -objc -test -vanilla"
47
48 as a `Deep' dependancy.
49
50 Will I be really messing up my new system if I install two version of
51 gcc? And secondly how does the right one get used for ksh?
52
53 I can live without ksh of course but I do have quite a few homemade
54 scripts that depend on ksh. Many of them will need some recoding even
55 to use pdksh as I recall.
