Gentoo Problem Of The Week (#8)

Mon Feb 3 21:57:47 MSK 2014

problem: net-libs/webkit-gtk uses virtual/rubygems, but is not ready for ruby 2.1. Also build scripts for the package is damn ugly and parallel build is permanently broken according a comment in the current ebuild and a lot of bugs can be found via google. ~~And nobody cares…~~
solution: ~~hacked~~ improved ebuild is here (gentoo bug #500230). The main problem w/ parallel build is a ~~insane developers~~ inappropriate (too much) usage of BUILT_SOURCES in automake files…
problem: net-libs/webkit-gtk failed on configure w/ ld.gold (gentoo bug #500206)
solution: switch to ld.bfd using pakcage_env.conf
