(cross)apache-tools: pcre(2)-config for libpcre not found.

[dE_logics]

Hello everyone.

I've always been having problems cross compiling app-admin/apache-tools -- which is pretty surprising because this is a VERY common package for embedded systems and no one's complaining -> something's wrong with my toolchain.

No other packages are giving issues (apart from known ones). My cross-compile setup has been going on since around 6 months I believe...

I'm using the standard crossdev.

There's bug 932162 and bug 938091 I've just pushed possible fixes for. Could you retry and share new logs if it fails?

[dE_logics]

Yes, it compiles now. Thanks so much for the fix. Apache itself also has a similar problem, but because it seems my toolchain is fine, I'll go ahead and file a bug.

[dE_logics]

Ok, Apache is also fixed. I'll try it out. Thanks! This was much needed.

You're very welcome! Thanks for testing quickly.

Apparently Apache is not fixed. I tried to apply the patches to the apache 2 eclass manually but it didn't fix the issue (same pkg-config problem). And emerge --sync is not syncing with the fresh git tree as of now, so I'll wait and report.
