 Posted: Sat Aug 23, 2008 2:10 pm Post subject: Circular dependencies and CFLAGS |
 |
|
I've been building Gentoo on a couple of i686 machines, one with an Intel P3m
and the other with Intel dual core CPU; apart from the CFLAGS, the stage 3 file,
the portage snapshot, and the /etc/portage/* files are identical.
However, I can emerge esound in one machine (the dual core). The other
fails with a circular dependency around libgnome/libbonobo/libbonoboui.
I can get around the problem (I think) but what on earth do the CFLAGS have
to do with an emerge sequence? Both CPUs are intel i686, which ought to be
enough, surely?
All ideas welcome - Will |

Circular dependencies are caused by USE flags.
Post some actual errors. |

Yes, I know that. And if I drop the "doc" and "esd" flags, the problem goes away.
What I'm asking is _why_ the problem; like you, I thought that circular dependencies
were a function of USE flags only.

I'm not entirely sure what you intended to say with this sentence. Use flags represent interdependencies of software packages. I hope you didn't mean circular dependencies would exist because of use flags - because this idea is completely mistaken.
