mitmproxy won't build

[leyvi]

Been trying to emerge net-proxy/mitmproxy, but net-proxy/mitmproxy-rs always fails with the "ld: file format not recognized" error, see the log here. Anyone know how I can fix this? I have a bunch of other packages that fail with the same error, so maybe whatever solves this will solve those, too.

[pingtoo]

You post build.log is for net-proxy/mitmproxy-rs.

You can't use Rust LTO unless you build with Clang.

[leyvi]

sam_, I'm not building it with LTO. pingtoo, yes, I'll correct that.

[sam_]

The log has '-C linker-plugin-lto' (and later -C lto) but it might be being forced by the upstream project if you're not doing that.

[leyvi]

OK, so should I try forcing clang to be the C compiler, just for this build?

[sam_]

Yes, please give it a go. But please file a bug at bugs.gentoo.org with the build.log and emerge --info.

[leyvi]

I tried forcing clang, and there was a slightly different error message: "lto can only be run for executables, cdylibs and static library outputs". Pretty sure it's an upstream problem.

[leyvi]

I tried filling a bug report, they were impatient and wouldn't even let me finish describing my bug to them before they closed the report. Now what?

[Hu]

How did they cut you off while you were writing the initial report? They shouldn't even know a report is coming until you finish writing the initial report. Could you link to where this was done, so we can see what was said?

[sam_]

Presumably you mean bug 948146 where you were not "cut off" at all and we're still waiting for you to come back with fixed configuration.
