[gentoo-user] openwatcom ebuild question

[David Relson]

As background, http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=233097 has an
experimental, unsupported ebuild for openwatcom-1.7.1 and it doesn't
quite work :-<

The ebuild's src_compile function is:

    src_compile() {
        ./build.sh || die "build.sh failed"
    }

When I run "emerge =dev-lang/openwatcom-1.7.1", the build fails with

    /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.1.2/../../../../i686-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld:
    i386:x86-64 architecture of input file `bootstrp/clibext.o' is
    incompatible with i386 output distcc[16016] ERROR: compile (null)
    on localhost failed

The full output of the emerge command is in the attached file.

Alternatively, I can manually unpack and build with commands:

    ebuild =dev-lang/openwatcom-1.7.1.ebuild unpack
    cd /var/tmp/dev-lang/openwatcom-1.7.1/work
    ./build.sh

With the steps performed manually, the compilation works properly.

Anybody familiar with the "i386:x86-64 ... incompatible ... i386"
message and know what it means?

Any suggestions on ebuild changes to correct this behavior?

Thanks !

David
