Bug 541656 – >=net-libs/nodejs-0.11.12: build failure on prefix

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Michael Schubert 2015-02-28 14:42:31 UTC]

This is related to https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=462703

I observe the exact opposite behaviour of the above bug on my prefix system using nodejs-0.12.0 or 0.11.5: the path to the python install script needs to be "${ED}", not "${D}" in order for nodejs to not install outside "${EPREFIX}" (instead of double prefix):

I tested versions <0.11 and >=0.11. In short: use "{D}" for <nodejs-0.11 and "${ED}" for >=nodejs-0.11.

To elaborate (should have put this better), I tested the following versions:

0.10.36 - success with ${D}, failure with ${ED}
0.11.12 - failure with ${D}, success with ${ED}
0.11.15 - failure with ${D}, success with ${ED}
0.12.0 - failure with ${D}, success with ${ED}

This is crazy :) 

Anyway, since I can't really verify I'll take your word for it. Patrick?

Also; 0.11.x should be removed asap in favour of 0.12.

[Comment 3 Michael Schubert 2015-04-09 09:31:26 UTC]

0.12.1 - failure with ${D}, success with ${ED}
0.12.2 - failure with ${D}, success with ${ED}

compiling works, installation gives the following error:

>>> Install nodejs-0.12.2-r2 into /dev/shm/portage/net-libs/nodejs-0.12.2-r2/image/ category net-libs
[...]
ln -fs out/Release/node node
${prefix}/usr/bin/python2.7 tools/install.py install '/dev/shm/portage/net-libs/nodejs-0.12.2-r2/image/${prefix}' '${prefix}/usr'
install: cannot stat '/dev/shm/portage/net-libs/nodejs-0.12.2-r2/image/${prefix}/usr/lib/node_modules/npm/html': No such file or directory

The issue here is that usr/lib/node_modules/npm is installed into a double ${prefix}.

[Comment 6 Johan Bergström 2015-05-11 21:44:19 UTC]

Michael, thanks for your feedback. Do you have any suggestions as how to remedy this since I don't have a prefix setup?

[Comment 7 Michael Schubert 2015-05-12 12:26:53 UTC]

change line:

emake install DESTDIR="${ED}"


to:

emake install DESTDIR="${ED}" PREFIX=/usr

[Comment 8 Michał Górny 2015-05-14 03:45:47 UTC]

This should be fixed since 0.12.2-r2.

Sorry, -r3 here.
