Bug 537136 – dev-util/cscope-15.8a - ld: command.o: undefined reference to symbol 'curscr'

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Quentin Minster 2015-01-20 15:31:20 UTC]

This is the same issue as bug #498810, which seems to have not been fully fixed.

Note this only happens with sys-libs/ncurses[tinfo].

Reproducible: Always

[Comment 1 Quentin Minster 2015-01-20 15:37:06 UTC]

Created attachment 394418 [details, diff]
cscope-15.8a-r1.ebuild.diff

 "$(tc-getPKG_CONFIG)" --libs ncurses
expands to:
 -lncurses -ltinfo
(with sys-libs/ncurses[tinfo]), so the substitution should be quoted.

This fixes the issue on my machine.

(While we're at it, it seems the ebuild would be suitable for a bump to EAPI=5.)

[Comment 2 Quentin Minster 2015-01-22 09:34:30 UTC]

Also, this should probably block #457530.

[Comment 3 Ulrich Müller 2015-01-22 13:03:43 UTC]

Fixed without revbump, since this is a build failure.
Thank you for reporting.

Will be done with the next version or revision bump.

[Comment 4 Quentin Minster 2015-01-23 08:43:14 UTC]

Thank you very much!
