Description SpanKY gentoo-dev

newer coreutils will barf on purpose if you specify the same file multiple times with `install`.  as such, xorg-server dies:

test -z "/usr/include/xorg" || /bin/mkdir -p "/var/tmp/portage/x11-base/xorg-server-1.5.3-r6/image//usr/include/xorg"
 /usr/bin/install -c -m 644 compiler.h fourcc.h xf86.h xf86Module.h xf86Opt.h xf86PciInfo.h xf86Priv.h xf86Privstr.h xf86Resources.h xf86cmap.h xf86fbman.h xf86str.h xf86Xinput.h xisb.h xf86xv.h xf86xvmc.h atKeynames.h xf86Version.h xorgVersion.h xf86sbusBus.h xf86xv.h xf86xvmc.h xf86xvpriv.h '/var/tmp/portage/x11-base/xorg-server-1.5.3-r6/image//usr/include/xorg'
/usr/bin/install: will not overwrite just-created `/var/tmp/portage/x11-base/xorg-server-1.5.3-r6/image//usr/include/xorg/xf86xv.h' with `xf86xv.h'
/usr/bin/install: will not overwrite just-created `/var/tmp/portage/x11-base/xorg-server-1.5.3-r6/image//usr/include/xorg/xf86xvmc.h' with `xf86xvmc.h'

I can't reproduce with coreutils 7.4. Are you doing something weird/special with coreutils?

Thanks

Could you attach your full build.log? Because the same section of my build log shows that each header is installed using its own "install" call, while yours seems to "pack" all headers within a same dir into one "install" call...

Thanks

it's probably a feature of using autoconf-2.63b (which i am)

basically one of the Makefile.am incorrectly lists the file multiple times in the relevant variable

Comment 4 SpanKY gentoo-dev

err, automake-1.10b ... but you probably want both installed at the same time

@Mike,

any updates on this?

Thanks

sorry, but what exactly are you expecting from me ?  ive pointed out the problem in the xorg build system ...

Comment 7 Rémi Cardona (RETIRED) gentoo-dev

2009-06-19 21:23:58 UTC

1) no, I can't reproduce and I have the versions you mentioned, both on ~x86 and ~amd64

2) can you still reproduce with xorg-server 1.6?

Thanks

Comment 8 SpanKY gentoo-dev

looking the relevant Makefile.am seems pretty clear to me

hw/xfree86/common/Makefile.am:
...
if XV
...
XVSDKINCS = xf86xv.h xf86xvmc.h
endif
...
sdk_HEADERS = ... $(XVSDKINCS) ... xf86xv.h xf86xvmc.h ...
...

that sdk_HEADERS setting is wrong

Thanks for the pointer. But could you at least tell me how I can reproduce the bug so I can fix other bugs as well (I'm pretty sure this won't be the only place where files are installed twice).

Thanks

Turns out I was right, it wasn't the only place that needed a change. I would have liked being able to reproduce it myself...

Patch is in xorg-server master and 1.6.2.

Thanks
