[gentoo-user] Compiling sys-devel/gettext-0.14.4 with dev-lang/icc-9.0.021

[Alexander Skwar <listen@alexander.skwar.name>]

Hello!

I'm trying to compile my system with the Intel C++ Compiler (icc)
following the HOWTO ICC and Portage from http://gentoo-wiki.com/.

I'm currently struggling at the "emerge system" stage trying to
get gettext-0.14.4 to compile. It seems to compile fine, but fails
at the install stage:

test -z "/usr/lib" || mkdir -p -- "/Gentoo/Portage/build/portage/gettext-0.14.4/image//usr/lib"
 /bin/sh ./libtool --mode=install /bin/install -c  'libasprintf.la' '/Gentoo/Portage/build/portage/gettext-0.14.4/image//usr/lib/libasprintf.la'
/bin/install -c .libs/libasprintf.so.0.0.0 /Gentoo/Portage/build/portage/gettext-0.14.4/image//usr/lib/libasprintf.so.0.0.0
/bin/install: cannot stat `.libs/libasprintf.so.0.0.0': No such file or directory

Indeed, there's no libasprintf.so.0.0.0:

If needed, you can also download the emerge log (size: 777kb) from

Did anyone manage to get gettext to compile with icc?

I did some "google-ing" and found no problem reports that seem
to relate to this issue. What I found, though, were some "success"
reports. Eg. <http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/hints/downloads/files/intel-c-compiler.txt>
where LFS lists gettext as one of the icc compileable packages.

Thanks,

Alexander Skwar
