MariaDB 12.0.2-r2 fails to build with Boost 1.90.0 but succe

[Nreal]

Hello,

I encountered a build failure when compiling dev-db/mariadb-12.0.2-r2 on Gentoo when dev-libs/boost-1.90.0 is installed. The build succeeds if Boost is downgraded to 1.88.0.

Environment
Gentoo Linux (amd64)

MariaDB:

Code: Select all

dev-db/mariadb-12.0.2-r2

Boost versions tested:

1.90.0 → build fails

1.88.0 → build succeeds

Problem

During the MariaDB build process, the CMake build system attempts to download Boost 1.88.0 from:

https://archives.boost.io/release/1.88. ... 8_0.tar.gz

The relevant error in the build log is:

Code: Select all

CMake Error at external_boost-stamp/download-external_boost.cmake:163 (message):
  Each download failed!

error: downloading 'https://archives.boost.io/release/1.88.0/source/boost_1_88_0.tar.gz' failed
status_code: 6
status_string: "Could not resolve hostname"

However, the real issue appears to be that the build system insists on Boost 1.88.0, even though Boost 1.90.0 is already installed on the system.

Observations

With Boost 1.90.0 installed, the MariaDB build attempts to fetch Boost 1.88.0 using CMake’s ExternalProject.

With Boost 1.88.0 installed, the build proceeds normally and completes successfully.

The system already had Boost 1.90.0 installed from a world update.

Portage also reports preserved Boost 1.88.0 libraries used by existing binaries.

Example preserved libraries message:

existing preserved libs:

Code: Select all

>>> package: dev-libs/boost-1.90.0
  - /usr/lib64/libboost_*.so.1.88.0

Workaround

Downgrading Boost resolves the issue:

Code: Select all

emerge -1 =dev-libs/boost-1.88*
emerge -1 dev-db/mariadb

After that:

Code: Select all

emerge @preserved-rebuild
