Bugzilla Bug 44034

When I try to emerge dox-1.1 I have a lot of the following errors:
-----------------------------------------------------------
ACCESS DENIED
open_wr:   /usr/qt/3/etc/settings/qt_plugins_3.3rc.tmp
open_wr:   /usr/qt/3/etc/settings/.qt_plugins_3.3rc.lock
open_wr:   /usr/qt/3/etc/settings/qt_plugins_3.3rc.tmp
open_wr:   /usr/qt/3/etc/settings/.qt_plugins_3.3rc.lock
open_wr:   /usr/qt/3/etc/settings/qt_plugins_3.3rc.tmp
open_wr:   /usr/qt/3/etc/settings/.qt_plugins_3.3rc.lock
open_wr:   /usr/qt/3/etc/settings/qt_plugins_3.3rc.tmp
-------------------------------------------------------------

I tried to add the following line in dox-1.1.ebuild:
src_compile() {
addpredict ${QTDIR}/etc/settings
.
.
}
without good results.

At the end to install dox I executed:

FEATURES="-sandbox" emerge dox

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge dox
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
I have the sandbox errors:
ACCESS DENIED:
open_wr:   /usr/qt/3/etc/settings/.qt_plugins_3.3rc.lock
open_wr:   /usr/qt/3/etc/settings/qt_plugins_3.3rc.tmp

Expected Results:  
Install dox.

seeing this sort of thing a lot on qt bug reports

I happens if the install-target of the Makefile tries to write directly to
/usr/qt/... instead of using the provided DESTDIR inside the temp
portage-build-directory. The source should be fixed, we can only workaround
this in the ebuilds.

Strange but I could emerge dox without problems?!

Dominik,

some time ago there were problems when using 
# PORTDIR="..."
# PORTAGE_TMPDIR="..."
other than the default values, esp. when using sanbox. Sorry, I don't remember exactly ... Perhaps this relates to your wondering why for some people it works, and not for others?

Kind regards, Manfred

Created an attachment (id=38685) [edit]
dox-1.1.ebuild (corrects sandbox access violation)

Can confirm that I had the same sandbox access violation problem referred to
above when building but the attached ebuild corrects this problem.

Patch confirmed working and added to the tree.
