>Description:
Attempting to build gdb-7.6 on a server running 10.0-ALPHA2 with the PYTHON option enabled, I received the following error:
Configuring in ./gdb
< snip >
checking whether to use python... /usr/local/bin/python2.7
checking for python2.7... no
configure: error: no usable python found at /usr/local/bin/python2.7
gmake[3]: *** [configure-gdb] Error 1
gmake[3]: Leaving directory `/usr/ports/devel/gdb/work/gdb-7.6'
gmake[2]: *** [all] Error 2
gmake[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/ports/devel/gdb/work/gdb-7.6'
===> Compilation failed unexpectedly.
Try to set MAKE_JOBS_UNSAFE=yes and rebuild before reporting the failure to
the maintainer.
*** Error code 1
Stop.
make[1]: stopped in /usr/ports/devel/gdb
*** Error code 1
Stop.
Upon further inspection to config.log, I found the following interesting nugget:
configure:7953: checking whether to use python
configure:7955: result: /usr/local/bin/python2.7
configure:8173: checking for python2.7
configure:8191: cc -o conftest -pipe -DRL_NO_COMPAT -g -g -std=gnu89 -I/usr/local/include/python2.7 -I/usr/local/include/python2.7
conftest.c -lncurses -lz -lm -L/usr/local/lib/python2.7/config -lintl -lutil -lm -lpython2.7 -Wl,--export-dynamic >&5
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lintl
cc: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
>How-To-Repeat:
# cd /usr/ports/devel/gdb
# make config
-> Select [*] PYTHON
# make
>Fix:
Attached is a very, very crude patch that just blindly adds /usr/local/lib to gdb's python-config.py script, which does allow it to compile correctly. Something more elegant is almost assuredly needed, but I'm not sure the best way to go about this.
Patch attached with submission follows:
