Bug 355589 – app-emulation/qemu-0.14.0 doesn’t build - missing scripts from /files

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Raffaello D. Di Napoli 2011-02-19 16:50:17 UTC]

* ERROR: app-emulation/qemu-0.14.0 failed:
 *   qemu interface scripts missing
 * 
 * Call stack:
 *     ebuild.sh, line  56:  Called src_install
 *   environment, line 3585:  Called die
 * The specific snippet of code:
 *           use qemu-ifup && doexe "${FILESDIR}/qemu-ifup" "${FILESDIR}/qemu-ifdown" || die "qemu interface scripts missing";


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge =app-emulation/qemu-0.14.0
Actual Results:  
Build fails.

Expected Results:  
Build succeeds.

qemu-kvm has a few scripts which need to be copied over to qemu.

In bug 304771 comment 8, I provided a fully working ebuild for 0.13.0, did anybody notice? I also tried to address some QA issues, in that.

Failed build log

Not really necessary, as it’s obvious what the problem is.

I am also running into this issue.

Raffaello: can your 1.3.0 ebuild be used to work around it?

I've committed the following logic fix to cvs:

Improved ebuild for QEMU 0.14.0

Well, I see I was beaten in time. Also, I don’t know why I didn’t think about it earlier, but half an hour ago I found out that the files reported as missing are actually there. Then I found the patch posted here :)
Anyway, I’m still posting this.

I revised my prior ebuild for 0.13.0, now combining it with the previously-non-working 0.14.0.
This ebuild doesn’t depend on the kernel-headers or linux-info.eclass at all, since this plain QEMU, 100% userspace, no kernel modules involved. It also tries to do something about a few QA issues. And, the fix to the bug in original 0.14.0 is cleaner than the patch posted here, IMO.


Required files (to be put in /files) are:
1.  qemu-0.11.0-mips64-user-fix.patch
2.  qemu-0.12.3-include-madvise-defines.patch
3.  qemu-ifdown
4.  qemu-ifup
which can be found in app-emulation/qemu/files (1, 3, 4) and app-emulation/qemu-kvm/files (2).

Same ebuild, as a patch on the faulty 0.14.0 ebuild.

Don't CC maintainers when you cannot assign bugs.

Zac's commit fixed the issue.  if you have a different bug, file a new report.
