[gentoo-dev] bootstrap error

[gentoo-dev] bootstrap error

[Erik Van Reeth]

Hi,

I'm doing a build based on r12.iso, but midway I get this error :

#Calculating dependencies !!! Couldn't find match for
=sys-libs/glibc-2.2.4-r2;aborting

I checked the bootstrap-1.0_rc6.packages file but seems to be alright (I
think).

I must have done something wrong.  Let's see...  Found it.  Do an emerge
rsync and you should be all set.  You'll be the first one doing a build
using the new 2.4.10 kernel headers :)

Compilation did go further now, but some other problems arise. Herewith
my findings :

* one of the (long list of) dependancies is db.3.2.9.ebuild.
  An error occurs in not finding c++. (no idea why or how to check this).

  <snip>
  checking for c++... no
  checking for g++... no
  checking for gcc... gcc
  checking whether the C++ compiler (gcc -mcpu=i686 -march=i686
    -O3 -pipe) works... no
  configure: error: installation or configuration problem:
    C++ compiler cannot create executables
  </snip>

* As I use the default USE flags, containing X, the rebuild of glibc
  wants to compile Xfree and several other packages first. Removing X
  from USE, removed most of the dependancies (whereunder db.3.2.9).
  Compilation of the bootstrap finished now.

Just my ?0,02

The first problem I see is that db-3.2.9 has not been tested by the system
team so it should not be included by default.  It looks like Hallski added
it but forgot to add it to package.mask; I will make the necessary changes
now.  I'm hoping that the older db will work fine.  I'm guessing that you're
getting this error during *bootstrap*?  Because after bootstrap is complete,
you should have a working c++ compiler (g++) installed.  I just finished
scanning the deps and really can't find anything in bootstrap that should
depend on db.  Please make sure you are doing a bootstrap before attempting
an "emerge system".  If you do an "emerge rsync" now, emerge should now want
to use db-3.2.3 rather than the newer 3.2.9 if forgetting to do a bootstrap
wasn't the problem.

We'll need to track those down.

Another thing that could cause this error -- accidentally adding "build" to your
USE variables will cause g++ to not be built.

Indeed, the error only occured during *bootstrap*.

I did a new step-by-step *bootstrap* and everything went great now except
freesoftware.com doesn't exist (anymore?). GCC ebuilds maybe needing other
SRC_URI.
Also, is $myTEXINFO still needed in bootstrap.sh as it is being build with
"emerge system" anyway.
Next, I emerged db-3.2.9 (# it in package.mask) without any problems.
So previous problems never occured again and also that long dependency list
never returned.

Sorry about that.
