Bugzilla Bug 111601

While trying to emerge spectromatic-1.0  I ran into the following problem

(the package needs sci-libs/gsl)

>>> Unpacking spectromatic_1.0-1.tar.gz to /var/tmp/portage/spectromatic-1.0/work

Dirk,

maybe you want to know this:
You can solve these malloc.h problems quite often by simply ifndef-ing them.

the C file will have something like
#define <malloc.h>
which you can replace with
#ifndef __APPLE__
#define <malloc.h>
#endif

The patch makes the package compile, but on install I get the following problem


>>> Install spectromatic-1.0 into /var/tmp/portage/spectromatic-1.0/image/
category media-gfx
mkdir -p /var/tmp/portage/spectromatic-1.0/image//usr/bin
mkdir -p /var/tmp/portage/spectromatic-1.0/image//usr/man/man1
install -o root -g root -m 0755 spectromatic
/var/tmp/portage/spectromatic-1.0/image//usr/bin
install: root: Invalid argument

This error is usually caused by an install that wants to set the ownership of
files to group root.  On OSX, Solaris and others this group doesn't exist, hence
the error.  I solved this by hacking the Makefile (there is no configure) and
removed the arguments that tried to change the ownership to root:root.

Now I first need to get the dependencies emerged.  Thanks for your patch!

Ok, I tested this thing, and it most certainly doesn't work on OSX.  It might
have to do with the endianness of Apples, but it claims for every file that it's
not mono nor stereo, while the same file on my Linux box gets the program to do
'something'.

Spectromatic is marked ~ppc, so if you are right, similar problems should occur on Gentoo Linux for PPC.
Can you ask the maintainers/the herd?

good thinking ;)

Will try and see in IRC tonight.  Was thinking about having a look at the source
as well, so see if I can see things to go possibly wrong.
