Problems with "ebuild xxx compile" but not with "configure"

[joaquin]

Hi

I am trying to install sandbox 1.2.18 but i get:

Code: Select all

checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables

I tried with:

Code: Select all

# ebuild /usr/portage/sys-apps/sandbox/sandbox-1.2.18.ebuild compile

And i get the same error. Then tried:

Code: Select all

# ebuild /usr/portage/sys-apps/sandbox/sandbox-1.2.18.ebuild unpack
# cd /var/tmp/portage/sys-apps/sandbox-1.2.18/work/build-x86-x86_64-pc-linux-gnu
# ../sandbox-1.2.18//configure --prefix=/usr --host=i686-pc-linux-gnu --mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info --datadir=/usr/share --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var/lib --libdir=/usr/lib32 --enable-multilib --build=i686-pc-linux-gnu
# make

And i have not problems compiling the source using this method. I get the configure line from config.log when the error ocurred. Looking in config.log when i get error, i read:

Code: Select all

/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/4.1.1/../../../../x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/4.1.1/../../../libc.so when searching for -lc

I need install ">sandbox-1.2.17" because is a dependency for other program. I probed with 1.2.18~1.2.20_alpha2 and i was not able to install any of this versions.

[*]So, what is the different when i compile the source using emerge and using ./configure?[*]
[*]Why when i run "ebuild /usr/portage/sys-apps/sandbox/sandbox-1.2.18.ebuild install" emerge try to unpack and compile again?[*]

I would like to do the next because i could install the ebuild:

Code: Select all

# ebuild /usr/portage/sys-apps/sandbox/sandbox-1.2.18.ebuild unpack
# cd /var/tmp/portage/sys-apps/sandbox-1.2.18/work/build-x86-x86_64-pc-linux-gnu
../sandbox-1.2.20alpha2//configure --prefix=/usr --host=i686-pc-linux-gnu --mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info --datadir=/usr/share --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var/lib --libdir=/usr/lib32 --enable-multilib --build=i686-pc-linux-gnu
# make
# ebuild /usr/portage/sys-apps/sandbox/sandbox-1.2.18.ebuild install

[*]How can i do this?[*]

I assume that the ebuild is passing some parameters to configure which you don't. It may be related to use flags or a bug, look in bugzilla if you can't make it work toying with the use flags.

There are two differences
1. The ebuild may pass additional options to the "configure" script.
2. During compilation the compiler will use the options specified through the "CFLAGS" variable in your make.conf.

I assume "install" performs all the steps from unpacking, compiling and hence installing the package to a temporary directory (not to "/").
To install the compiled package to your "/"-directory, you have to use the "qmerge" option instead.

Code: Select all

qmerge This function installs all the files in the install directory to the live filesystem.  The process works  as  fol-
              lows:  first, the pkg_preinst() function (if specified) is run.  Then, the files are merged into the live filesys-
              tem, and the installed files' md5 digests are recorded  in  /var/db/pkg/${CATEGORY}/${PN}-${PVR}/CONTENTS.   After
              all the files have been merged, the pkg_postinst() function (if specified) is executed.

Cheers,

2. During compilation the compiler will use the options specified through the "CFLAGS" variable in your make.conf.

Yes, but my CFLAGS is "-march=athlon64 -O2" so i think there is no problem with my CFLAGS.

I assume "install" performs all the steps from unpacking, compiling and hence installing the package to a temporary directory (not to "/").
To install the compiled package to your "/"-directory, you have to use the "qmerge" option instead.

I get an error:

Code: Select all

!!! mydo=qmerge, but install phase hasn't been ran

From "man ebuild":

install Installs the package to the temporary install directory by running the src_install() function....
qmerge This function installs all the files in the install directory to the live filesystem......

Obviously, i must run ebuild...install before ebuild...qmerge. But if i run ebuild...install, i lost the source compiled for me using configure and make.

So, how i run ebuild...install && ebuild...qmerge without run ebuild...unpack && ebuild...compile?

[joaquin]

I found the answer to my problems. I must create an empty file named ".compiled" and ebuild don't compile the source when i run "ebuild...install". So the solution is:

Code: Select all

# touch /var/tmp/portage/sys-apps/sandbox-1.2.18/.compiled

The error probably comes when the ebuild tries to build/configure the 32bit sandbox. If you call `ebuild` with the --debug option it will tell you exactly what commands it executes.

I tried but i installed sandbox so when i run "ebuild...install" there is not error, i don't know if the error is gone because sandbox is now installed.

I have the same problem with wine, so i run "emerge --debug wine" and output is:

The output is very long, so i delete some lines. I have the same errors in wine: "configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables"

I compiled wine-0.9.28 without problem and sandbox-1.2.17 some weeks ago, so i think that a program installed after them broke my portage system. Some help??

Did you maybe update/remerge gcc, glibc or binutils in between?
