Bugzilla Bug 71034

When compiling (both with emerge and stand-alone) LTP, it does these unusual
things:
1) Checks some dependencies with rpm. It also seem to want to run with exactly
those versions of the packages (found no mention in the docs of this). Done in
testcases/ballista/create.sh
2) After this, it would run testcases/ballista/ballista/configure to mangle
testcases/ballista/ballista/Makefile, and specify some sane settings for
compiler path. Instead, it does not, and the path in the file is used: it is
/usr/local/g++, not very nice. Also, testcases/ballista/ballista/configure uses
as interpreter /usr/local/bin/perl5, which does not work obviously (perl5 does
not exist on Gentoo - shouldn't it exist, too?).

The output, then, is:
make[1]: Leaving directory
`/var/tmp/portage/ltp-20041104/work/ltp-full-20041104/pan'
make[1]: Entering directory

The following dependencie(s) are missing:

libg++-devel-2.8.1-2.i386.rpm

The rpms can be downloaded at www.rpmfind.net

And then I stopped it and went investigating.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge -vp '=ltp-20041104'
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
The compilation does not complete all the needed step (some files are not
built)
.

Expected Results:  
Build all its parts.

ballista fixes, put in files dir

This one might fix the perl path weirdness, fixes the path to g++ in the
Makefile, and kills most of the path checks.

ebuild patch

This applies the previous patch and installs some more files.

ok, this gets this thing a bit further. It still doesn't work though. For
starters: the build process is just plain weird. It expects rpm to exist (and
be in $PATH even) to check for things. Since it only checks for stuff a normal
gentoo gcc with c++ support should already have I just pulled the plug on this.

It then demands perl to live in /usr/local/bin/perl5. This path is hardcoded in
the #! lines in a few scripts. I replaced this with /usr/bin/env perl, which
should work.

Finally I think I didn't install quite enough: I only installed testcases/bin,
I now install all of testcases, which should work a bit better :)

Unfortunately, if you actually try to run the hacked-up ballista it attempts to
write to the dir it is installed in, which obviously is not a good idea. I'll
leave that one to someone else, I'm tired of fighting a package that apparently
doesn't like to get installed.

you and a few others. No wonder the original bug 13662 stayed open and
untouched for so long.

Marien,

Thanks for the patch.
applied to both versions.

patched ltp-20041104.ebuild and added ltp-20041203.ebuild

more fixes welcome.
