Re: pkgtools/pkg_install does not compile with gcc-9 (Ubutnu 20)




Hi,
I am porting our pkgsrc setup to Ubuntu 20. One of the things that does not compile out of the box is pkgtools/pkg_install.

The following error is generated:

checking whether the C compiler works... no
configure: error: in `/var/tmp/pkgsrc-obj/pkgtools/pkg_install/work/libnbcompat':
configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
See `config.log' for more details
*** Error code 77

Stop.
bmake[1]: stopped in /usr/pkgsrc/pkgtools/pkg_install
*** Error code 1


Diving into the config log:

looking into the Makefile you see the following:


# These are needed to solve a chicken-and-egg problem where pkgsrc uses
# newer features of pkg_install, but older NetBSD installations won't
# support them.  In this case, we explicitly use the native GCC
# compiler to avoid problems with depending on pkgsrc GCC for building
# pkg_install.
#
# We also use the newly built pkg_{add,create,delete} since upgrading
# from an older pkg_install might required features of the new
# program, provided that we are not cross-compiling.  (XXX If we are
# cross-compiling, we should maybe have a host build dependency on
# ourselves...)
#
# Note that the definitions are only overriden for the phases that are
# supposed to use them.  pkg_admin pmatch might be used when looking for
# dependencies. If that is ever changed in a incompatible way, this has to
# be rethought.
USE_NATIVE_GCC=     yes

Removing it will make the package compile on Ubuntu 20.

Beside the actual gcc-9 issue, the other question is, why the native compiler is used by default and not only on older NetBSD where the issue might occur? 
I would expect pkgsrc to avoid using system compilers by default, especially when  `PREFER_PKGSRC=yes` option is used.


Thanks,
Shay
