Bug 82808 – qscintilla-1.5.ebuild doesnt install libqscintilla.*

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Darren Dale 2005-02-21 05:50:16 UTC]

When installing qscintilla, libqscintilla.* files are not copied to /usr/lib.

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



Expected Results:  
libraries should be installed

PyQt issues the following error message during installation:

The QScintilla library could not be found in /usr/lib and so the qtext module
will not be built. If QScintilla is installed then use the -o argument to
explicitly specify the correct directory.

Here is the problem. The qscintilla-1.5 and 1.4 ebuilds define LIBDIR as "/usr/${get_libdir}", and then try to copy the libqscintilla.* files to "${D}/usr/${LIBDIR}", so /usr/usr/lib. 

I suggest that either LIBDIR="/usr/${get_libdir}"--->"${get_libdir}"

or 

cp libqscintilla.a* "${D}/usr/${LIBDIR}"-->"${D}/${LIBDIR}"
cp -d libqscintilla.so.* "${D}/usr/${LIBDIR}"--->"${D}/${LIBDIR}"

I did the latter and the installation was successful.

Yes, I did the minor change to call get_libdir only once _after_ testing, so this slipped through. :-7 New revisions in cvs, thanks for your report.
