[gentoo-user] revdep-rebuild (gawk) issues

[Rafa Griman]

Hi all :)

New to this mailing list. I'm installing Gentoo and when I run
revdep-rebuild I get the following error

# revdep-rebuild
 * Configuring search environment for revdep-rebuild
gawk: cmd. line:3: error: Unmatched [ or [^: /[^[:space:]]/
gawk: cmd. line:3: error: Unmatched [ or [^: /[^[:space:]]/

gawk: cmd. line:3: error: Unmatched [ or [^: /[^[:space:]]/
 * No search defined -- this is a bug.
#

I've been going through /usr/bin/revdep-rebuild.sh but can't quite fix
the issue :( I've also been checking the Gentoo Forums and mailing
list archive but didn't find anything (maybe I'm not searching
correctly ;)

If I've got it right, the issue is because of how gawk and the shell
interpret the "[" characters so I've been trying to escape them ...
but I seem to be doing something wrong :(

I also get a similar error when trying to emerge qca:

>>> Unpacking source...

>>> Source unpacked in /var/tmp/portage/app-crypt/qca-2.0.3/work

Good, your configure finished.  Now run /usr/bin/gmake.

Any hints, ideas, links, ...I could read into?

You have stumbled upon a heretofore unseen behaviour of
revdep-rebuild :-)

In other words "we ain't never seen it do that before..."

Let's first establish where you are at in the installation.

Are you following the Installation Guide at gentoo.org?
If so, what point in the guide are you at? Are you still in the chroot
environment, or have you completed that part and successfully rebooted
at least once?

Do you have any personal customizations in your shell environment?
Is the shell bash?

And some basic info:
Post the entire content of /etc/make.conf and the output of "emerge
--info"

<sigh> ... Well I guess there's always a first time ;) Nah, seriously,
first time I've seen it too.

Yup, followed the guide. Just FYI, I have an Asus R2 system running
Gentoo in which I haven't had this issue and now I just installed an
MSI Wind netbook in which I'm having this issue :(

Nope, not in the chroot environment, already rebooted. Everything
(seems) to work OK, except for revdep-rebuild and the qca compilation.

Right now I was going to install KDE and all the needed software to
get a useful desktop up and running so it's a minimal system.

Nope.

Yup.

I'll send this as soon as I get home tonight since I don't have the
netbook here with me.

Thanks for your time !!!

Your gawk is broken. This happens if you emerged gawk with
current gcc and aggressive FLAGS like -DNDEBUG or -flto.
Not sure whether it is a bug of gawk or gcc.

I just read Vaeth's e-mail ... seems my CFLAGS are too agressive. I
must admit some "experimentation" with them O:) You can see them in
the make.conf file.

So it seems to be the CFLAGS :( As I said in my previous e-mail, I was
"experimenting" a bit with them ... I'll be more conservative ;)

Thanks !!!

Well, on the one hand the flags don;t seem to be too bad overall, but
on the other hand there's the golden rule of Gentoo:

Don't stuff around with CFLAGS

Why not? Well, there's the ricer phenomenon where changed CFLAGS
worsen performance and stability but the user's own bias convinces
him/her that it's actually vastly improved.

Some tweaks are perfectly OK, like the multimedia and cpu-specific
stuff (sse, mmx and all their related cousins). These are normally safe
and can give huge gains with video playback. Likewise for the GPU tweaks
once those hit mainline usage.

One last tweak, if the code is built on the machine that will run it
(the usual case, replace -march and -mtune with just "-march=native".
It has exactly the same effect but is easier to read, is
self-documenting and allows the compiler to attempt it's best (the
compiler usually does know much better what to do than you do)

I know that rule and tried not to be too agressive but seems I was O:)
Since it's not my min machine, I was going to experiment (nothing
"scientific", just curiosity) trying different options on different
partitions and see how they work out.

That was mainly the reason: video playback and some other apps
(scientific). But nothing serious.

I totally agree with you: the compiler knos better ;)

Out of curiosity: What flags do you run now? Do you know which flag
exactly caused the problem? They didn't seem too experimental though
-fno-inline looked odd.

That one's it: -fno-inline. Removed it and now the error disappears.
revdep-rebuild runs well now.

Thanks all !!!
