I would think, that the command is econf --configure-option=bar
--configure-option=foo.
econf does:
configure --prefix=/usr \
--host=${CHOST} \
--mandir=/usr/share/man \
--infodir=/usr/share/info \
--datadir=/usr/share \
--sysconfdir=/etc \
--localstatedir=/var/lib \
$@ \
${LOCAL_EXTRA_ECONF}
Where ${LOCAL_EXTRA_ECONF} is your ${EXTRA_ECONF} plus some more
settings and $@ is --configure-option=foo.
portage seems to not deal with this case. I'm afraid of what it could
happen if it's depending on the configure script.

Even shutdown failed. When you're trying to run some binary (which definitively exists and is +x) and you get something like no such file or directory, it probably means that the libc stub in your binary cannot load the libc's dynamic loader. That's because (at least on glibc systems), the dynamic loader itself sits in an shared library (eg. /lib/ld-linux.so) and each executable has an little stub which just loads the dynamic linker. This is then responsible for loading all the required shared libs (eg. by consulting ld.so.conf, ld.so.cache, environment, etc). This all happens much earlier before main() is called. Yes, glibc's stub should be more clear about this ;-o IMHO, you've removed exactly that libc (or at least it's dynamic linker) your binaries are built against, so they can't be executed anymore - you'r system is unbootable. ldd output on these binaries should give your more enlightenment. If you're sure you've rebuilt all of them and they're still built against the old glibc, it's might be a toolchain problem. Try to rebuild gcc and binutils first.

I don't understand your question, the man page clearly tells you how to use it: Replace the first five columns in a crontab file with '@reboot' and cron will run the command once when it starts up. So, do make sure that the command actually runs - maybe you are making one of the many classic cron errors and your script is faulty, not cron. Maybe you have an older version of cron that doesn't support @reboot and are reading a newer man page.

Re: [gentoo-user] dspam useflags improvement (was tuning ./configure parameters via emerge)
Enrico Weigelt [EMAIL PROTECTED] a écrit:

IMHO, it's wise to improve the ebuild and perhaps add some useflag.
I agree. It seems that current useflags doesn't permit enough tuning.
Today, I need to use $EXTRA_ECONF with some packages.
For example, emerge dspam package to make it run with qmail doesn't
work. Here is what the dspam manual says:
-BEGIN--/usr/share/doc/dspam-3.8.0-r11/doc/qmair.txt.bz2--
USER-LEVEL INTEGRATION
If you are only configuring dspam for a small percentage of your users,
this is the best method. Configure dspam to use a standalone local
delivery agent like safecat (if you already use procmail or maildrop as
an LDA, you should call dspam from those tools directly).
First, create a small script called maildir_mod in /usr/local/bin...
#!/bin/sh
VPOPDOMAINS=/home/vpopmail/domains
if [[ $2 = -d ]]; then
user=`eval echo $3 | cut -f 1 -d @`
domain=`eval echo $3 | cut -f 2 -d @`
cd $VPOPDOMAINS/$domain/$user
fi
/usr/local/bin/safecat $1/tmp $1/new 1/dev/null
NOTE: Be sure to configure VPOPDOMAINS to point to the path for your
virtual domain directories
Now configure DSPAM:
./configure \
--with-dspam-owner=vpopmail \
--with-dspam-group=vchkpw \
--with-delivery-agent=/usr/local/bin/maildir_mod Maildir -d %u \
# Your arguments
Next, create a .qmail file in the directory for the user with a line to
call dspam, like this:
| /usr/local/bin/dspam --deliver=innocent --user [EMAIL PROTECTED]
The two environment variables $EXT and $USER are created by the
qmail-local program which begins the local delivery process.
-END/usr/share/doc/dspam-3.8.0-r11/doc/qmair.txt.bz2--
Here is the ebuild content:
-BEGIN--/usr/portage/mail-filter/dspam/dspam-3.8.0-r11.ebuild-
econf --with-storage-driver=${STORAGE} \
--with-dspam-home=${DSPAM_HOMEDIR} \
--sysconfdir=${DSPAM_CONFDIR} \
$(use_enable daemon) \
$(use_enable ldap) \
$(use_enable clamav) \
$(use_enable large-domain large-scale) \
$(use_enable !large-domain domain-scale) \
$(use_enable syslog) \
$(use_enable debug) \
$(use_enable debug bnr-debug) \
$(use_enable debug verbose-debug) \
--enable-long-usernames \
--with-dspam-group=dspam \
--with-dspam-home-group=dspam \
--with-dspam-mode=${DSPAM_MODE} \
--with-logdir=${DSPAM_LOGDIR} \
${myconf} || die econf failed
-END/usr/portage/mail-filter/dspam/dspam-3.8.0-r11.ebuild-
I run ('\' end-line char added in this mail only):
prompt EXTRA_ECONF=--with-dspam-owner=vpopmail \
--with-dspam-group=vchkpw \
--with-delivery-agent=\/usr/local/bin/maildir_mod Maildir \-d %u\ \
emerge -v dspam
The compilation failed. I think I will make a bug report...
Nevertheless, I guess dspam and qmail integration can be done on
various ways and dspam can work with a lot of other MTA (you can see
/usr/share/doc/dspam-3.8.0-r11/doc/).
In this context, maintain this package (dspam) with useflags fair
system only would be a lot of work.
Having EXTRA_ECONF is enough (but should be probably more documented).
If dspam default ebuild could just compile with extra-parameters, it
would be great.
I hope I didn't missed something.
