Bug 10049 – access violation at end of build of vim

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description conteb 2002-11-01 02:06:54 UTC]

The program builds properly, until i get this:

--------------------------- ACCESS VIOLATION SUMMARY 
---------------------------
LOG FILE = "/tmp/sandbox-vim-core-6.1-r2-24189.log"

chmod:     /dev/pty/s0
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

my ptys (at compile time) were:
root@lain src # ls -als /dev/pty/s*
   0 crw--w----    1 conteb   root       3,   0 Nov  1 02:59 /dev/pty/s0
   0 crw--w----    1 conteb   root       3,   1 Nov  1 02:54 /dev/pty/s1

just for kicks, try setting the perms to 666 or 660 

[Comment 2 conteb 2002-11-03 20:15:29 UTC]

it didn't work for 660, but it did work when i set 666 on /dev/pty/s0.

i had this problem too, but only when using su or sudo. When logged in as root
from the console, the problem disappeared

Created attachment 5569 [details, diff]

Ryan,

I'm receiving access violations too with vim-core-6.1-r3. However, I don't
believe chmod'ing /dev/pty files manually is the right solution... I've been
using vim in Gentoo since my first system install and I've never messed with
permissions of my /dev files.

Anyway, I noticed that in previous ebuilds, the following line was taking care
of the sandbox violations:

  addwrite /dev/pty/*

And it was replaced with something that doesn't work for me anymore. After a
little testing, I end up with this modified ebuild (path attached) which allows
me to emerge vim-core again without having to worry about file permissions.

If you have another solution, please let me know. Thanks.

Its back.

--------------------------- ACCESS VIOLATION SUMMARY 
---------------------------
LOG FILE = "/tmp/sandbox-vim-core-6.1-r4-4163.log"

chmod:     /dev/pty/s176
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[Comment 7 Ryan Phillips (RETIRED) 2003-01-24 16:22:46 UTC]

should be fixed within the new ebuild
