Description pasi.valminen 2004-05-13 01:36:58 UTC 
When one installs binutils (any version afaik), the ebuild will not install bbconv.pl script. It is needed to convert profiling information in bb.out files to format understood by gprof. 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge binutils
2. updatedb && locate bbconv.pl
3.

Actual Results:  
No bbconv.pl was found.

Expected Results:  
bbconv.pl should have been installed.

bbconv.pl is in binutils-2.14/gprof/bbconv.pl so the fix is trivial in the ebuild.

pasi.valminen,
Where should this bbconv.pl be installed to? /usr/???
Comment 2 pasi.valminen 2004-05-13 11:28:27 UTC 
gprof seems to be in /usr/bin/. IMO it's a good place for the script as well.
Comment 3 solar (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-05-13 13:46:59 UTC 
pasi.valminen,
Could you please google for a bit and find out exactly where other some other distro's (RedHat/SuSe/Deb) place this file.
Comment 4 pasi.valminen 2004-05-13 14:16:30 UTC 
SuSE or RH does not install this script anywhere afaik (i use both at work). Debian seems to install it to:

/usr/share/doc/binutils/gprof/bbconv.pl

I guess it's ok to put it the gentoo style to:

/usr/share/doc/binutils-<version>/gprof/bbconv.pl

At least I looked there before I untarred the source tarball ;)
Comment 5 solar (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-05-13 18:06:36 UTC 
updated in (-* masked) development binutils-2.15.90.0.3-r3.ebuild
