BUMP!
Any takers?

I am not sure what causes these bugs, I've seen a couple of them in bugzilla but I know very little about cmake so I don't know how to fix those. You could check these two, which seem to be very similar:

Gentoo Full Text Bug Listing
Gentoo Bug 262225 - dev-games/openscenegraph-2.8.0 - g++ DEFINES: No such file or directory

I suggest that you open a new bug at bugs.gentoo.org about this. Since I can't help at all.

[MikeTbob]

Thanks i92guboj,
I was just looking on the bug report site, I found a few similar ones too. Currently I got emerge to continue by using --skipfirst, hopefully It'll pull in an extra package that will help cmake compile. If I can't get this to work eventually, I will file a bug report.

[i92guboj]

You might be interested in the --keep-going emerge option for those cases

I saw this for the first time just the other day, can you use that just as you would --skipfirst?

[i92guboj]

I saw this for the first time just the other day, can you use that just as you would --skipfirst?

By default emerge will stop when a package fails to merge for some reason. In this case, --keep-going will instruct emerge to continue with the next package instead while --skipfirst will just skip the first package in the list.

I suggested that because it could take a bit to get this fixed. In the while you can just add --keep-going, so you don't have to care about cmake each time you update your system. Another option would be to mask the problematic version of cmake, but then you might not notice when it's fixed until you remember to unmask it.

You could continue using --skipfirst as well, nothing bad about that. Just that each time you update you will have to do it in two batches.

[MikeTbob]

Thanks man, this would have come in handy so many times in the past. I actually re-installed about 3 months ago just because I couldn't get emerge to finish anything. This is going to make things alot easier.

[MikeTbob]

This problem has disappeared. I'm not sure if it was --sync or something else but I no longer have this problem.
