Bugzilla Bug 74090

I was trying to install gimp-print which failed because libijs was missing.
It should be part of the installed ghostscript-apfl, but it wasn't there.
Re-emerging it resulted in the following output...

./var/
./var/tmp/
./var/tmp/portage/
./var/tmp/portage/ghostscript-afpl-8.15/
./var/tmp/portage/ghostscript-afpl-8.15/image/
./var/tmp/portage/ghostscript-afpl-8.15/image/usr/
./var/tmp/portage/ghostscript-afpl-8.15/image/usr/lib/
./var/tmp/portage/ghostscript-afpl-8.15/image/usr/lib/libgs.so
./var/tmp/portage/ghostscript-afpl-8.15/image/usr/lib/libgs.so.8.15
./var/tmp/portage/ghostscript-afpl-8.15/image/usr/lib/libgs.so.8
./var/tmp/portage/ghostscript-afpl-8.15/image/usr/lib/libijs.la
./var/tmp/portage/ghostscript-afpl-8.15/image/usr/lib/libijs.a

instead of
/usr/lib/*


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge ghostscript-afpl

I had the same problem; it blocks the building of gimp-print.  I used the
following quick and dirty workaround at the end of the ebuild script to get
libijs and libgs installed.

        # install ijs
        cd ${S}/ijs
        dodir /usr/bin /usr/include /usr/lib
        einstall install_prefix=${D}

        # Workaround for bug.
        cp -ax ${D}/var/tmp/portage/ghostscript-afpl-8.15/image/usr ${D}
}

FYI If you are hacking around this you will also need to fix
usr/bin/ijs-config, which contains a reference to the corrupted path, and
causes dependant packages to fail to compile.

oops.  also ./usr/lib/pkgconfig/ijs.pc

It looks like noone is working on this. I'll tell you what I found out, but I  
can't fix it because I'm no ebuild hacker. It looks like during the configure  
step of the ebuild the ${D} environment variable is either overridden by or  
overrides an internal ${D} variable which is defined 
in /var/tmp/portage/ghostscript-afpl-8.15/work/src/ijs.mak (which is sourced by 
the main Makefile). This may (I'm not sure about it) disturb a few other 
variables which are used for installation destination of libraries.

Ebuild patch

This patch fixes the installation for me. It removes the fake prefix set on
econf, and passes D=/ (as ${D} is used as directory separator, / on unix and \\
you-know-where).

Six weeks passed since a possible fix was proposed. Bumping the bug. 

Sorry this fell through the cracks.  Fixed.

ghostscript-afpl hasn't been fixed yet, though.

fix also added to latest afpl now.
