net-p2p/bitcoin-core-25.1-r1::gentoo failed - SOLVED

[mich]

Hello,

I can't compile bitcoin-core, can somebody help me please?
Here the logs:
emerge-info: https://transfer.sh/5SfGJEW8sH/emergeinfo.txt

emerge -pqv '=net-p2p/bitcoin-core-25.1-r1::gentoo' :

[ebuild R ] net-p2p/bitcoin-core-25.1-r1 USE="asm berkdb bitcoin-cli daemon dbus external-signer gui man qrcode sqlite system-libsecp256k1 -examples -kde -libs -nat-pmp -system-leveldb -systemtap -test -upnp -zeromq"

Build log:

Thanks in advance,
Michel

Thanks for all!

Seems like it failed with libsecp256k1.
I couldn't build it today with system-libsecp256k1 enabled (it didn't even start compiling, because it can't if electrum is installed on the system as well), so the solution was to build it without system-libsecp256k1
So, that's what you could try as well, disable that USE flag and most likely it will compile.

Make sure to report your issues in https://bugs.gentoo.org so the maintainer can help you directly. Include emerge --info and your full build.log as you've done here.

Thanks a lot. It works. Is a bug that?.

That USE flag should be disabled by default in my opinion, it would avoid problems.
Having that library bundled with the program would ensure it works properly, and if someone wants to use some other version then that flag could be enabled.

On principle, I disagree. Bundled libraries are almost always wrong. Most projects that bundle libraries tend to be bad about not updating their bundled copy in a timely manner, so users get a better maintained system by using system libraries instead of bundled ones.

Sometimes you can't solve some issues like this one for example, related to this :

You can, by making your own ebuilds I guess, and alter the requirements, but you end up doing the similar thing as doing it with a bundled dependency.
