[gentoo-user] "checking for working mkstemp....." taking forever

[Nick Khamis]

Hello Everyone.

 

I am trying to update-python and I am stuck at "checking for working mkstemp....."  for ever, what should I do.. This is a fresh install AMD64.

 

Thanks in Advanced,

Ninus.

I've encountered the same and didn't know how to solve it. I found out that
mkstemp was some standard C function so I remerged glibc, but that didn't do
the trick. Eventuella I restarted my installation. It as i686 with 32 bit
though. Did you change CHOST maybe?

I did not change CHOST just CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS as per the manual.

hmmmm

mktemp is now in coreutils

It used to be in debianutils

Not glibc.

I believe you're confusing mktemp with mkstemp, the latter being C
function indeed - man 3 mkstemp.

You are correct and I am :-)

I even double checked to make sure I was on the right track and could have
sworn I saw mktemp somewhere in the OPs mail...

It must be this bloody flu. Makes one's eyes work poorly...

python folks can't write configure.in files (-> AC_TRY_RUN() causes
headaches) ... that's also why it's not crosscompile'able ;-o

file a bug to python folks, it's not gentoo's fault.
