 Posted: Tue Mar 30, 2004 2:23 am Post subject: groff error while bootstraping |
 |
|
Hi,
I have a problem with my bootstrap ... it tries to compile groff and that leads to the following error:
| Code: | checking for i686-pc-linux-gnu-g++... g++
checking whether we are using the GNU C++ compiler... no
checking whether g++ accepts -g... no
checking that C++ compiler can compile simple program... no
configure: error: a working C++ compiler is required
!!! ERROR: sys-apps/groff-1.18.1-r4 failed.
!!! Function src_compile, Line 82, Exitcode 1
!!! (no error message) |
I have read a lot of threads with the same topic, but none of them solved my problem.
I changed my CFLAGS a lot and there is no hcc on my System, so there's no hcc.conf.
When I'm trying to run just g++ I get an error: Could not run/locate "g++"
I'm using the minimal LiveCD 2004.0 and stage1-x86-20040218.tar.bz2
I'm hoping that anyone here has an idea to solve my problem  |

hmm, i am having the exact same problem. the interesting thing is that this did not happen when i followed the same procedure on the same machine last week.
here are all of the relevant changes made by me to a stage1 network install:
| Code: |
# this is /etc/make.conf
# These settings were set by the catalyst build script that automatically built this stage
#CFLAGS="-O2 -mcpu=i686 -fomit-frame-pointer"
CFLAGS="-O2 -march=pentium4 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer"
CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu"
USE=""
CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"
MAKEOPTS="-j2"
|
i tried reverting make.conf to its original state (and updating my environment accordingly), but no luck.
the error (running scripts/bootstrap.sh):
| Code: |
>>> md5 src_uri ;-) groff-1.18.1.tar.gz

i'm in the same boat. i've installed gentoo before, but now i'm trying it on a laptop and i'm having these problems.
i've gone over the instructions 10 times and checked my settings, but the same result each time.
the strange configure error
| Code: | | configure: error: a working c++ compiler is required |
shouldn't be coming up.
why can't it find the compiler.
anyone have a clue? |

ditto, the 2004.0 CD install process seems to be borked... I haven't gotten past emerge system successfully yet...

The is a regression of a very old and very ugly bug:
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1805
And I am having this same problem. None of the workarounds in the bug appear to solve it.
Basically, the build version of GCC does not include C++ support, which groff (and I think groff alone) requires.

I got around this by cheating. I made a static binary package of groff on my laptop (which is a p4), and scp'd it over to the desktop I am building. Worked like a champ.
Bad news: sys-libs/db has a build error for the same reason: no g++.

well, i entered us into bugzilla, so hopefully someone will take note (https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=46208). thanks teilo for pointing out the original bug.
i'll post again when i am notified that it is resolved. |

I had exactly the same problem, my workaround is based on yours, though I used quickpkg to make a binary pkg from a working gentoo-system. It's a fast solution though it requires a running system... |

It very well could be. All I know is that I tried to install Gentoo 2004.0 yesterday (5x) and the 1st time I got through to a emerge system which failed at groff, but now every time after that (Reformat/reinstall) I can't even get past the bootstrap.
This is fun!

That's what I don't understand either... if all of these people are having trouble installing 2004.0, how has there not been a fix-release of it since February? Or are we just the unluckiest group of guys around?

Same problem here, I never installed Gentoo before so I thought it was me doing something wrong but now.. 6 tries later, I read this and seems like it wasnt.
I really hope for a sollution soon, was planning on having it up and running tonight  |

Same problem here.
I even tried a 1.4 livecd but that doesn't work either. |

Had exactly the same problem (stage1 + bootstrap + groff) when I tried to install Gentoo on another harddisk on the same computer. However, after pulling an all-nighter I believe I found a solution that worked on my box (athlon-xp).
First of all, it seems that some mirrors have stage1 packages that are like 11.7<something> MB and others have ones that are 12MB. I tried the 12MB one, just for reference's sake.
What solved my problem was doing an emerge-webrsync (downloading a portage snapshot) and then bootstrapping.
Apparently, emerge-webrsync "forces" the bootstrap.sh script to compile and install gcc and g++ and create an i686-linux-pc-gnu gcc-conf entry before compiling groff.
No problems encountered either during the bootstrapping process or during "emerge system", and you can still do a "emerge sync" after the first boot.
Any comments on the solution would be appreciated. |

God that's weird... I wonder why a portage sync would pull down a c++ compiler where a normal sync won't...
I actually don't even know why the sentence above would make sense...

I also had the same problem.
For a working solution I just compiled the same gcc-Version as in the stage again with "--nodeps", for example for the 1.4-stage1:
emerge -O /usr/portage/sys-devel/gcc/gcc-3.2.3-r4.ebuild
Then gcc compiles again with g++. |
