32544 2003-11-02 06:37 0000 Build error in font directory for VICE-1.13 (with fix) 2003-12-27 01:05:34 0000 1 1 1 Unclassified Gentoo Linux Games unspecified x86 Linux RESOLVED FIXED P2 blocker --- 1 rosbacke@nada.kth.se games@gentoo.org hanno@gentoo.org rosbacke@nada.kth.se 2003-11-02 06:37:49 0000 When I try to emerge 'vice', the emerge process fails with an error when trying to install the data/fonts folder. I traced the problem to the vice-1.13/data/fonts directory. The original Makefile.in contains the following: install: @echo "Preparing fontdir..." ; \ cd $(prefix)/lib/vice/fonts ; \ bdftopcf -o vice-cbm.pcf vice-cbm.bdf ; \ rm vice-cbm.bdf ; \ mkfontdir . Replacing it with: install: install-am @echo "Preparing fontdir..." ; \ cd $(DESTDIR)$(prefix)/lib/vice/fonts ; \ bdftopcf -o vice-cbm.pcf vice-cbm.bdf ; \ rm vice-cbm.bdf fixes the problem. The proper fix would be to change Makefile.am but it requires rerunning aclocal and automake. The solution above is a band-aid in the meantime. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.

Why should the mkfontdir call be removed? rosbacke@nada.kth.se 2003-11-03 02:42:01 0000 I compared the Makefile in the font directory to the Makefile in another data directory and all they had for install was 'install : install-am' So i figured that my new install-am takes care of all the setup of the font directory. That why I removed mkfontdir. However, I'm not to familiar with the automake/autoconf system so its mostly a guess. rosbacke@nada.kth.se 2003-11-03 06:01:33 0000 Now I think the command mkfontdir is still needed. However I'm not sure it will work to just run it in the current directory. Will that leave some kind of reference to the temporary install image instead of the final installation place? I'm not familiar with the font system but this must be a common problem in Gentoo and if it is a problem, there must be a solution used in some other packages. mr_bones_@gentoo.org 2003-11-03 12:19:13 0000 The font.dir file seems to be clean so I went ahead and commited this fix. Shouldn't be worse than it was before anyhow. ;-) Give it a try please and let me know how you like it. Thanks. mr_bones_@gentoo.org 2003-11-04 01:29:10 0000 Moving to TESTing. rosbacke@nada.kth.se 2003-11-04 02:07:48 0000 Tried it and failed :( Did an emerge and it failed. Removed mkfontdir and all went well. Tried to run mkfontdir manually and got a segmentation fault!?! It seems I can't blame vice for this. My guess is that this is due to my XFree. I'm running XFree 4.3.99-14 due to a fairly new graphics card (Radeon 9600) and I'm pretty sure a utility shouldn't give you a segmentation fault, even if the data would be bad. Anyway, here is the last part of my output during emerge: Making install in fonts make[2]: Entering directory `/var/tmp/portage/vice-1.13/work/vice-1.13/data/fonts' make[3]: Entering directory `/var/tmp/portage/vice-1.13/work/vice-1.13/data/fonts' make[3]: Nothing to be done for `install-exec-am'. /bin/sh ../../mkinstalldirs /var/tmp/portage/vice-1.13/image//usr/games/lib/vice/fonts mkdir -p -- /var/tmp/portage/vice-1.13/image//usr/games/lib/vice/fonts /bin/install -c -m 644 cbm-directory-charset.fon /var/tmp/portage/vice-1.13/image//usr/games/lib/vice/fonts/cbm-directory-charset.fon /bin/install -c -m 644 vice-cbm.bdf /var/tmp/portage/vice-1.13/image//usr/games/lib/vice/fonts/vice-cbm.bdf make[3]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/vice-1.13/work/vice-1.13/data/fonts' Preparing fontdir... make[2]: *** [install] Error 139 make[2]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/vice-1.13/work/vice-1.13/data/fonts' make[1]: *** [install-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/vice-1.13/work/vice-1.13/data' make: *** [install-recursive] Error 1 !!!

I think this is desired. You should enter a new bug about the fact that mkfontdir segfaults on your system. vapier@gentoo.org 2003-12-27 01:04:52 0000 stupid bugzilla vapier@gentoo.org 2003-12-27 01:05:34 0000 this is fixed
