Bug 159026 – dev-db/myodbc-3.51.12 - pkg_config creates empty odbc.ini and odbcinst.ini

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Daniel Plaza 2006-12-24 10:50:38 UTC]

After installing myodbc emerge says: 

If this is a new install, please run the following command
to configure the MySQL ODBC drivers and sources:
einfo "emerge --config =dev-db/myodbc-3.51.12

  If I run this command I get:

Configuring pkg...Configuring pkg...

 * Building odbc.ini
/usr/bin/m4: /var/db/pkg/dev-db/myodbc-3.51.12/files/odbc.ini.m4: No such file or directory
 * Building odbcinst.ini

 * Installing MySQL ODBC DSN ...                                      [ok]

  Result are empty odbc.ini and odbcinst.ini .

Same problem.

[Comment 2 GNUtoo 2007-08-30 21:15:14 UTC]

the problem here are that the m4 files are missing...
/usr/bin/m4 -D__PN__=${PN} -D__PF__=${PF} ${FILESDIR}/${i}.m4 >${T}/${i}

# find /var/tmp/portage/dev-db/myodbc-3.51.12/ -iname *.m4
doesn't return anyting

[Comment 4 GNUtoo 2007-08-30 21:19:32 UTC]

The problem isn't missing files. The problem is that FILESDIR variable has not the expeted value "${PORTDIR}/${CATEGORY}/${PN}/files" in pkg_config function.

[Comment 7 GNUtoo 2007-09-04 16:07:39 UTC]

according to zlin in #gentoo-dev-help FILESDIR is not avaliable during pkg_config
so we must install theses 2 files somewhere
i didn't know where to install them so he advised me to inistall them in /usr/share/${P}/

[Comment 8 GNUtoo 2007-09-04 22:10:22 UTC]

Created attachment 130044 [details, diff]
diff to the actual ebuild

with the help of zlin we were able to:
->fix the bug
->inmprove the ebuild in order to have a better quoting
