[gentoo-web-user] Making use of webapp optional

[Dirk Tilger]

Hi guys,

I'm trying to enhance the mapserver ebuild to support building no CGI at 
all. The software can be built as extension for many programming 
languages and a CGI is not strictly necessary.

It was suggested in #gentoo-web on freenode that I should use the 'cgi' 
USE flag for this purpose. I wrapped all calls to webapp functionality 
with `if use cgi` or an equivalent, but then I'm getting at the very end 
of the build process:

| >>> Original instance of package unmerged safely.
|  * 
|  * This ebuild did not call webapp_src_install() at the end
|  * of the src_install() function
|  * 
|  * Please log a bug on http://bugs.gentoo.org
|  * 
|  * You should use emerge -C to remove this package, as the
|  * installation is incomplete
|  * 
| 
| !!! ERROR: sci-geosciences/mapserver-4.10.0 failed.
| Call stack:

|   environment, line 4827:   Called pkg_postinst

| 
| !!! FAILED postinst: 1
| !!! This ebuild is from an overlay: '/home/dirk/overlay'

When I do run the webapp_src_install() function, I get at the end:

|  * Running //usr/sbin/webapp-config -I -h localhost -u root -d /mapserver mapserver 4.10.0
|  * Fatal error: Your configuration file sets the server type "Apache"
|  * Fatal error: but the corresponding package does not seem to be installed!
|  * Fatal error: Please "emerge >=net-www/apache-1.3" or correct your settings.
|  * Fatal error(s) - aborting
| 
|   * Running //usr/sbin/webapp-cleaner -p -C mapserver

The only solution I have found so far is to wrap 'inherit webapp' with
`use cgi` everything works, but then my ebuild gets rejected, because
that would prevent metacaching as was pointed out to me at bugzilla.

Any suggestions would be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Dirk.

Could you attach or pastebin your ebuild?

That was the version that ended compilation in:
| * Fatal error: Your configuration file sets the server type "Apache"
| * Fatal error: but the corresponding package does not seem to be installed!
| * Fatal error: Please "emerge >=net-www/apache-1.3" or correct your settings.

The other try had line 302 and line 305 wrapped in `if use cgi`.

pastebin.com doesn't seem to work too well. Could you try elsewhere?

I'm not sure I see what the problem is. Have you tried wrapping _all_
calls to webapp.eclass functions in use cgi && {} blocks?

I tried:

- to wrap all calls
- to wrap all calls that make the CGI being installed
- wrap all calls and 'inherit webapp'

They all showed unwanted side effects.

My goal is to make the dependency on Apache (or any other) webserver 
optional for this package.
