Description Paul Boehmer 2019-08-02 16:04:59 UTC
Not sure if issue is libtorrent or rtorrent, but since libtorrent builds and rtorrent does not, I am submitting the bug here.  I have a fresh ports tree on 11.3-RELEASE-p1.  Have rebuilt libtorrent (0.13.8), curl (7.65.3), xmlrpc-c (1.51.03_1) ports and get the following build error that is repeatable on multiple boxes:

Comment 1 Danilo G. Baio freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2019-08-03 18:16:19 UTC
Thanks for the report.

Are you using the default options?
Could you share the full build log of libtorrent and rtorrent?

I couldn't reproduce this issue with poudriere on:
 - 11.3 (i386|amd64)
 - 12.0-RELEASE (i386|amd64)
 - 13.0-CURRENT 1300036 (i386|amd64)

I'm interested in finding what is happening.

Regards.
Comment 2 Walter Schwarzenfeld freebsd_triage 2019-08-03 18:53:11 UTC
Same error here (11.2-amd64).
Comment 3 Walter Schwarzenfeld freebsd_triage 2019-08-03 19:01:31 UTC
I tried on the commandline with  make CXXFLAGS+=-linotify, and this works.
Comment 4 Walter Schwarzenfeld freebsd_triage 2019-08-03 19:07:51 UTC
I changed

USES=           compiler:c++11-lang ncurses pkgconfig localbase
and
LDFLAGS+=       -lexecinfo -pthread -linotify

(In reply to w.schwarzenfeld from comment #3)

Could you share the build logs from before and after?

I want to understand why this is not breaking on poudriere.

Comment 11 Paul Boehmer 2019-08-05 12:38:44 UTC
Confirm w.schwarzenfeld's changes to Makefile resolve the problem on my end.  I performed "make rmconfig" and used the port defaults with a new build which resulted in the same errors in my original report.  

I can build logs using the un-altered Makefile if needed.
Comment 12 Walter Schwarzenfeld freebsd_triage 2019-08-05 12:43:06 UTC
Sorry, is not clear.

Does it work or does it not work?
Comment 13 Paul Boehmer 2019-08-05 12:47:27 UTC
Using the un-altered Makefile and building using the port default configs on both libtorrent and rtorrent, the rtorrent build fails.,

Using your changes to Makefile for rtorrent, the build completes successfully.
Comment 14 Walter Schwarzenfeld freebsd_triage 2019-08-05 12:51:35 UTC
Ok, clear now.

(In reply to Walter Schwarzenfeld from comment #4)

Thank you all for the information/patch.

I noted that this issue happens only when you have libinotify installed in your system (a Samba dependency).

And this approach won't work when you don't have it.

I reported this upstream to check if inotify is mandatory or optional and asked for the best approach to enable/disable it if it's not mandatory, because we don't have a configure option for doing that.

^Triage: canonicalize assignment.

To submitter: is this problem now fixed?
