On my rig "clang" and "llvm" used about 90 minutes each to build and af-
terwards often caused rebuilds for other packages which, too, took their
time.

So eventually I added "-clang -llvm"  to my global "USE" variable,  thus
not only saving plenty of compile time but aparently also avoiding plen-
ty of problems ...

You're right, it looks like the Thunderbird ebuild has a clang USE
turned on by default; I didn't realize that in my earlier reply and
assumed you had overridden this yourself.  Regardless, this version
built correctly on my machine, so it's worthy of investigation with
upstream which combinations of parameters may be triggering the crash.

If you scroll up a bit in build.log, you can see that clang has crashed:

Having followed this list for quite a while, my first guess whenever
someone fails to compile a web browser or similar heavy piece of
software (I'm counting Thunderbird here) is that they ran out of memory.
 I would double check your MAKEOPTS and RAM size and try building with a

Not sure what dependencies were broken or why, but you seem to have installed 
at some point various versions of zlib, which were thereafter uninstalled in a 
somewhat unclean way.

Next time you can use quickpg to create a binary of an installed package 
before you unmerge it.  This could help you recover from unintended breakages.

Portage *should* remove a package completely and cleanly, while by deleting 
files manually you could mess things up and leave portage in a messy state.  
If unmerging a package does not uninstall it cleanly, this means there's a bug 
in the ebuild and it would merit posting a report in BGO.

Otherwise,

 emerge @preserved-rebuild -v -a

and 

 revdep-rebuild -v -- -a

ought to (re)emerge any missing dependencies or dependencies which need to be 
rebuilt.

Re: [gentoo-user] Thunderbird build failure

Hey, you fixed it (sort of)!

I tried your suggestions but diverted a little bit. Basically here's what 
happened:

* depclean did nothing (except remove a few Thunderbird dependencies I actually 
needed, whoops)
* `revdep-rebuild` also found nothing
* `ldd` gave /lib/libz.so.1.2.11
* I noticed that /usr/lib/libz.so.1.2.7 existed as well and proceeded to delete 
it
* Re-emerged both libz and libpng, Thunderbird build still failed
* Decided "let's delete /lib/libz.so.1.2.11 as well" (bad idea I know, I just 
barely recovered from that)
* After replacing libz from the stage3 tarball, re-emerged libz

Aaaand then it just worked, I must admit I'm not entirely sure why ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Anyways, thanks for taking the time to support me here!

I had a similar problem but it was a while ago (a couple years.) I seem 
to recall that one of the packages didn't clean up properly after an 
unmerge/depclean and left behind some remnants that nothing owned.


My memory is pretty hazy, but I remember having to see what libpng 
needed (using ldd) and making sure there were no erroneous libraries around.


Have you done a --depclean recently? Have you tried `revdep-rebuild`? It 
may fix the problem first.


Otherwise, try issuing `ldd /usr/lib/libpng16.so.16`. Then see what 
versions are installed by `equery list media-libs/libpng sys-libs/zlib`.


Then manually check the libs directory (use the ldd output, it will show 
paths) to make sure there's no old libraries hanging around:


`ls /lib64/libz*`

You can see if it's owned by a package by using `equery belongs 
/lib/libz.so`.


I think what happened in my case is an old library was there that didn't 
belong to any package and that's what the linker used (and failed.)

I believe you should re-emerge libpng because it seems to have been built 
against an old (and incompatible) version of zlib (1.2.9).

[gentoo-user] Thunderbird build failure

[Christoph Böhmwalder]

Hey all,

I've been trying to get Thunderbird to build for a few days now.
Since I'm pretty much out of ideas at this point, I figured I'd ask on here if 
someone has an idea on what my problem is.

I've attached the output of `emerge --info 
'=mail-client/thunderbird-52.3.0::gentoo'`, `emerge -pqv 
'=mail-client/thunderbird-52.3.0::gentoo'`, and the complete build log.

>From the error message I can see that it likely has something to do with 
>either libpng or zlib.
I have both of those installed:

$ emerge --info libpng
--- >8 ---
media-libs/libpng-1.6.29::gentoo was built with the following:
USE="apng (-neon) -static-libs" ABI_X86="32 (64) (-x32)" CPU_FLAGS_X86="sse"

$ emerge --info zlib
--- >8 ---
sys-libs/zlib-1.2.11::gentoo was built with the following:
USE="minizip -static-libs" ABI_X86="32 (64) (-x32)"


I noticed that I have zlib-1.2.11 installed, though Thunderbird (or libpng?) is 
apparently trying to reference a symbol from zlib 1.2.9.
I tried downgrading to zlib 1.2.9, but...

# emerge --ask \=sys-libs/zlib-1.2.9

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

Calculating dependencies... done!

emerge: there are no ebuilds to satisfy "=sys-libs/zlib-1.2.9".


I'd really appreciate any hints on what I'm doing wrong here. Thanks!
