 Posted: Tue Jan 30, 2007 1:35 pm Post subject: emerge autogen fails (~amd64 problem, SOLVED) |
 |
|
Hi, i get errors when, during updates, portage tries to emerge autogen.
With the latest version of guile, "emerge autogen" gives this error:
| Quote: | | * You need to build dev-scheme/guile with USE='deprecated discouraged threads' |
Same problem using guile 1.6.7, 1.6.8 and 1.8.1-r1.
Why i have to use such flags? I mean, if it's deprecated, discouraged, then why i need it in an emerge --update world? I don't even know what's this libguile. I don't want to install things that need those "deprecated" or "discouraged" use flags.
If i try to emerge previous versions of autogen, i get this:
| Quote: | configure: error: Cannot find working libguile
!!! Please attach the following file when filing a report to bugs.gentoo.org:
!!! /var/tmp/portage/sys-devel/autogen-5.7.1/work/autogen-5.7.1/config.log
!!! ERROR: sys-devel/autogen-5.7.1 failed.

weird, I do not see anything like this in either the guile ebuild or the autogen ebuild
do you have an overlay that contains either of these? When was the last time you emerge --sync ?
both guile and autogen build without any flags.

no overlay, and just synced, but i forgot to mention that i'm using ~amd64.
Additional info:
| Quote: | emerge guile autogen -pv
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild R ] dev-scheme/guile-1.8.1-r1 USE="nls -debug -debug-freelist -debug-malloc -deprecated -discouraged -elisp -networking -regex -threads" 0 kB
[ebuild U ] sys-devel/autogen-5.8.8 [5.8.3] 0 kB

| Code: | | echo dev-scheme/guile deprecated discouraged threads >> /etc/portage/package.use && emerge -uDN world |

| ok, now it's obviously working. Probably it was for the ~arch. |

I'm having this same problem on ~x86 trying to compile guile 1.6.8, but adding the use flags suggested and re-emerging doesn't solve it.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Curtis.

ok paste what you get.. If you added the use flags then you can't be having the same problem.

Me too. It just gives the exact same error about guile needing to be built with the flags I just built it with. |

Thanks for the tipp! Using the proposed useflags of the failure of the build makes autogen compile. Still this doesn't make me really happy, those useflags sound no good to me... So know I am concerned about having a misconfigured system... Just to make sure: is it only autogen that uses those "features" of guile? Useflags like "discouraged" or "deprecated" make me doubt...
Greets! |

| I'm having the same problems on x86, it'd be nice if I knew just exactly what I was enabling and if it could possibly b0rk my system down the line. |

I just ran into the exat same issue, also on amd64.
I built guile with USE="discouraged threads -deprecated", however it wouldn't get passed the error encountered here until I enabled the "deprecated" USE flag also.
According to this bug on the subject, the deprecated use flag was actually removed from the requirements of autogen, but it appears autogen needs more than what's enabled by "discouraged".
I have a feeling it's the requirement on the discouraged use flag which was supposed to be removed rather than deprecated.

No the bug says to remove the discouraged dependency. If you run "equery uses dev-scheme/guile" you'll see a list of the use flags the ebuild might reference and their description. For me I get a list that includes...
| Code: | + + deprecated : enable deprecated features
- - discouraged : (implied by deprecated) enable merely discouraged features |
So the bug was the fact that the description claims if you already have deprecated, you shouldn't need discouraged. The fix doesn't say what they did, but I assumed they removed the code looking for the use flag "discouraged". I wasn't sure if by being in CVS that the fix made it into the portage tree yet, but I'll take a peek in a second (gotta reboot into my Linux partition).
[update]They did mess up on the fix. I updated the bug. |

Hi! I just ran into this one. Rebuilding guile with the asked-for useflags fixed it.
I find it curious and that a new version of a package would suddenly require another package be rebuilt with ominous-sounding use-flags.
If at some point in the future this requirement is lifted, is there a way to find out, and know it is again safe to (re-)re-build guile without these flags? |

| Yeah, it worked for me also, but I forgot to report back. It wasn't working for me before when compiling with those use flags because I misspelled the deprecated use flag. |

I'm on x86 stable.
Switching from gcc 4.6.3 to gcc-4.7.3 did the trick for me. |

bcsthsc, you're a saint!
Don't let anyone tell you not to resurrect an ancient thread, if you've got something constructive to add.
Switching from gcc 4.6.3 to gcc-4.7.3 was precisely the fix for me as well. I'm wading through a (shamefully overdue) world update and this autogen thing was a total showstopper for me. |
