@genome,
I understand what you are saying but the actual errors that are listed by emerge were included in my first post. The errors listed in the build.log file look to me to be a repetition of the errors listed by emerge.
But perhaps there is more info in build.log that I am not conversant with.
See below from my first post.

ERROR: dev-python/pyside6-6.7.3::gentoo failed (configure phase):
* cmake failed

* Call stack:
* ebuild.sh, line 136: Called src_configure
* environment, line 3458: Called python_foreach_impl 'pyside6_configure'

You have already been informed in no uncertain terms and without any ambiguosity whatsoever that those are NOT the actual errors and that portage itself says the actual errors are in the build.log
So yes, there is more info in build.log that you are not conversant with -- which is the entire point of this discussion.

It is exceedingly easy to grep for specific bug keywords or manually inspect only the last couple hundred lines -- you just need to have a lot of familiarity with debugging user problems, know how to recognize and analyze compiler errors, make/ninja error statuses, etc. It is domain-specific knowledge, that's why users ask experts for help, but the experts absolutely do know how to find the real issue in *seconds*.
The reason we ask for the full 18k lines of text is because long experience has proven that when people try to shorten the text in order to be "helpful" they accidentally remove the 5 lines that were actually needed and which we could have found immediately, if only they were actually there to be found...
... and instead we end up spending multiple *days* arguing back and forth about the correct way to report a bug.
In summary, please stop overthinking this. We ask for certain information for a reason. It's because the best way to ensure a FAST response is to provide ALL the information that you have available, so that we are able to look at the information *we* know matters. |

There is. A lot. What portage tells you is just where the ebuild failed (cmake_src_configure), which in case of build errors is rather useless as it is simply a result of the build process returning a non-zero exit code. That is all that portage actually knows about the problem.
But it has no insight into the build system of the actual package. Unfortunately it is not so simple to locate and forward build errors errors automatically, so portage doesn't event attempt to do so but instead refers you to build.log. There may be some repetition in particular at the beginning and the end of the file, but the actual error can appear in a completely different location hidden within an ocean of regular status messages. |

As a sidebar to my query on pyside6 compile errors, I am doing some forced learning about pastebin apps, pastebin websites, and also how error messages from emerge differ from those in build.log.
Thanks all.
Anyone suggest an alternate to wgetpaste (that I thought was a gentoo std) that can handle whole files (not text snippets) and binary files, e.g., gz files?
Also best (non-google) pastebin site to handle whole binary files?
I know this really is a sidebar and perhaps should be an independent question.
thanks all, tom kosvic |

-> bugs.gentoo.org
It's not a pasting service but it will accept any reasonably sized (compressed) log.
