compiling in gentoo g++: error: @LIBPTHREAD@ #3307

On gentoo linux... ./configure go fine.. but when I do make I see: make[5]: Wejście do katalogu /media/tmp/bitcoin/src/qt/test' make all-am make[6]: Wejście do katalogu/media/tmp/bitcoin/src/qt/test' CXXLD test_bitcoin-qt g++: error: @LIBPTHREAD@: Nie ma takiego pliku ani katalogu "Nie ma takiego pliku ani katalogu" mean "No such file or directory"

When i added --disable-tests I see same error: make[5]: Wejście do katalogu `/tmp/bitcoin/src/qt' [....] AR libbitcoinqt.a CXX bitcoin_qt-bitcoin.o CXXLD bitcoin-qt g++: error: @LIBPTHREAD@: Nie ma takiego pliku ani katalogu

Tested on commit: be5d37c59757ac3b6deae1e3b238dcb2168207cb

Not sure what the @LIBPTHREAD@ comes from, I cannot find it in Makefile.am or configure.ac My guess is that it is caused by a version incompatibility of autoconf/automake

In gentoo I have many version of autoconf/automake ... by default now I have: autoconf (GNU Autoconf) 2.68 automake (GNU automake) 1.12.6

maybe configure should check for good verision of autoconf/automake if that is problem ?

My ubuntu has:

autoconf (GNU Autoconf) 2.68
automake (GNU automake) 1.11.3

So seemingly this is not the problem...

I've seen this before, it comes from a busted libqrencode pkg-config file. Gentoo needs to sanitize it in their libqrencode ebuild.

More specifically, the error is here: https://github.com/fukuchi/libqrencode/blob/master/configure.ac#L45

The AC_SUBST is conditional. If it's not called, the @LIBPTHREAD@ is not replaced and ends up in libqrencode.pc.

So this is really an upstream problem?

@svirusxxx why are you manually using ./configure and make instead of gentoo's ebuild scripts?

bitcoind 0.8.5 compiles normally for me on gentoo using sys-devel/gcc-4.8.2

I currently have it installed, and my node is operating normally.

I don't think this is an issue with upstream (bitcoin code) but rather, you have a broken gentoo install

This is the versions used on my current, working, "not broken on gentoo" build environment:

kuzetsa@yurizoku ~ $ emerge sys-devel/gcc bitcoind --verbose --emptytree --pretend

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

0.8.5 did not use pkg-config, because it did not have a real buildsystem, only a simple makefile.

Please see the detailed explanation of the issue above. This is not a bitcoin bug.
