[gentoo-user] ...again compile problems due to texinfo...

[tuxic]

Hi,

previously the compilation of glibc failed, because docs
cpuld not be build.
This was caused in the context of texinfo.
"Solved" was this by not building the docs via
deinstallation of texinfo temporarily.

No screen jumps over the edge and again texinfo seems
to cause this:

How can I fix this ... by fixing it and not by uninstalling texinfo ?

I've updated to gentoo-sources-4.9.34 and emerged @x11-modules-rebuild for
good measure.  The desktop freezes continued at an annoying pace, on various
Gtk & Qt applications (LibreOffice, Qpdfview, Kwrite, Kmail).  Thankfully
Chromium and Firefox haven't had problems so far, probably because this
freezing takes place when hardware accelerated tooltips popup as the mouse
moves over the menu.

I have captured a backtrace which points to libdri and mesa-17.0.6.  Should I
file a bug, or shall I start keywording and trying later mesa versions?

Here's my current USE flags:

emerge -1aDv media-libs/mesa

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Hi,

oh thanks for all the input...it seems I am not alone (this time).

As said: My workaround is the URL input field of Firefox...

I dont like CTRL-V/CTRL-P that much...its a windows way. I am on 
UNIX. And VirtualBox/VMware/Vwhatever should use the way to do
it as the guest system would do it. It should translate
from select'n'copy to CTRL-V if the guest is Windows
and select'n'copy to click'n'Paste if it is a UNIX/Linux.
And Firefox should not "infect" UNIX/Linux with this
CTRL-C/CTRL-V-way-of-life if not running on Windows.

...but as I also think, that the HP42s was the best
pocket calculator ever made, this may only be
worth the two cents of the currency, which may vary
(or not). ;)

Cheers
Meino

PS: Who, who wants back the charm of a HP42s build
into modern electronic with a bigger display, more RAM
and run by open source software ("Free42" by Thomas
Okken) should check SwissMicros. They are currently
on the way to reinkarnate a new HP42s called DM42.
I am only an ethusiast and by no way affiliated with
SwissMicros. Check YouTube for DM42 for some short
impressions.
Can't wait for its birthday: Welcome back, HP42s!
:)
Sorry for the OT part...but...couldn't resist...;))

Why not just NFS-export your $PORTDIR to a chroot on your host machine, and 
build everything there? --sync takes quite a while, but that would easily be 
recouped in compilation. That's what I do with a little Atom N270 box here.

$ genlop -t gcc -f /mnt/atom/var/log/emerge.log | grep minutes
[...]
   merge time: 13 minutes and 11 seconds.
   merge time: 13 minutes and 35 seconds.
   merge time: 12 minutes and 51 seconds.
   merge time: 14 minutes and 16 seconds.
   merge time: 14 minutes.
   merge time: 26 minutes and 49 seconds.
