Hi,

I've recently tried to compile xbmc-9.04 on my gentoo system only to discover, that it failed when linking the final binary with the following error:

g++ -O2 -O2 -g -D_DEBUG -Wall -g -D_DEBUG -Wall -o xbmc.bin -Wl,--whole-archive guilib/guilib.a guilib/common/gui_common.a guilib/tinyXML/tinyxml.a xbmc/xbmc.a xbmc/cdrip/cdrip.a xbmc/cores/cores.a xbmc/cores/DllLoader/dllloader.a xbmc/cores/DllLoader/exports/exports.a xbmc/cores/DllLoader/exports/util/exports_utils.a xbmc/cores/dvdplayer/DVDPlayer.a xbmc/cores/dvdplayer/DVDCodecs/DVDCodecs.a xbmc/cores/dvdplayer/DVDCodecs/Audio/Audio.a xbmc/cores/dvdplayer/DVDCodecs/Overlay/Overlay.a xbmc/cores/dvdplayer/DVDCodecs/Video/Video.a xbmc/cores/dvdplayer/DVDDemuxers/DVDDemuxers.a xbmc/cores/dvdplayer/DVDInputStreams/DVDInputStreams.a xbmc/cores/dvdplayer/DVDSubtitles/DVDSubtitles.a xbmc/cores/paplayer/paplayer.a xbmc/cores/AudioRenderers/audiorenderers.a xbmc/cores/VideoRenderers/VideoRenderer.a xbmc/cores/VideoRenderers/VideoShaders/VideoShaders.a xbmc/cores/ExternalPlayer/ExternalPlayer.a xbmc/FileSystem/filesystem.a xbmc/FileSystem/MusicDatabaseDirectory/musicdatabasedirectory.a xbmc/FileSystem/VideoDatabaseDirectory/videodatabasedirectory.a xbmc/karaoke/karaoke.a xbmc/lib/libcmyth/libcmyth.a xbmc/lib/libhts/libhts.a xbmc/lib/libPython/python.a xbmc/lib/libPython/xbmcmodule/xbmcmodule.a xbmc/lib/libRTMP/librtmp.a xbmc/lib/libscrobbler/scrobbler.a xbmc/lib/libRTV/librtv-i486-linux.a xbmc/lib/libshout/libshout-i486-linux.a xbmc/lib/libUPnP/libupnp-i486-linux.a xbmc/lib/libXBMS/libxbms-i486-linux.a xbmc/lib/libXDAAP/libxdaap-i486-linux.a xbmc/lib/libGoAhead/libGoAhead-i486-linux.a xbmc/lib/sqLite/sqllite.a xbmc/lib/UnrarXLib/UnrarXLib.a xbmc/linux/linux.a xbmc/screensavers/screensaver.a xbmc/settings/settings.a xbmc/utils/utils.a xbmc/visualizations/visualization.a xbmc/xbox/xbox.a xbmc/lib/libsmb/libsmbclient-i486-linux.a -Wl,--no-whole-archive -lXrandr -lavahi-client -lavahi-common -lfaac -lpulse -lhal-storage -ldbus-1 -lcurl -lXinerama -lXmu -lXt -ljasper -lenca -lresolv -ldl -lSDL_mixer -lSDL_image -lSDL -lcdio -llzo2 -lpcre -ljpeg -lpng12 -lrt -lasound -lmysqlclient -lsqlite3 -lfribidi -lbz2 -lfontconfig -lfreetype -lvorbis -logg -lmad -lGLU -lGLEW -lGL -rdynamic

After some investigation it turned out, that the yp_get_default_domain function is present in the libnsl library instead of libc. I have written a patch for the configure.in which adds the checks for this function and fixes this issue:

Please integrate it into the source if you find it useful.

Mind filing a new ticket at http://trac.xbmc.org for this issue? Thanks.

You doing something funky on gentoo? I can't reproduce...

You doing something funky on gentoo? I can't reproduce...

I run a ~x86 system if you consider this funky . My glibc version is 2.10.1, gcc-4.3.3 and I use paludis. Unfortunately I don't have direct access to my system this week so I will post exact details when I get home. I am building XBMC from the 9.04 tarball on sourceforge.

[althekiller]

Try with the 9.04.1-repack tarball when you get back at the system.

The problem persists with the repack tarball. A bit more info about my system:

Created a Trac ticket #6802.

[cauchy49]
