Bug 111636 – emerge quake3 do not use the GAMES_PREFIX_OPT path

• Status: RESOLVED INVALID
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Mario Bachmann 2005-11-05 14:06:48 UTC]

I have GAMES_PREFIX_OPT="/mnt/data/spiele" in /etc/make.conf. After an "emerge
quake3", it was in the standard path /usr/share/games/quake3/. 
the path /mnt/data/spiele is correct on my system and ut2004 was installed in it
correctly using the GAMES_PREFIX_OPT flag.

Reproducible: Didn't try
Steps to Reproduce:
1. put GAMES_PREFIX_OPT="other_path_as_standard" in /etc/make.conf
2. emerge quake3

Actual Results:  
# ls /usr/share/games/quake3/
    shows the quake3 files
    quake 3 is here, but should not be here



Expected Results:  
# ls /mnt/data/spiele/quake3
ls: /mnt/data/spiele/quake3: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden

    quake 3 should be here because of the GAMES_PREFIX_OPT flag in /etc/make.conf

quake3 -> from source
quake3-bin -> binary

i use games-fps/quake3-1.33_alpha255

[Comment 3 UncleOwen 2005-11-05 14:57:04 UTC]

Exactly. And source-ebuilds don't use GAMES_PREFIX_OPT, they use GAMES_PREFIX,
GAMES_DATADIR, etc. See /usr/portage/eclass/games.eclass

Thank you! 
I now use GAMES_DATADIR="/mnt/data/spiele" in /etc/make.conf.
emerge -pv quake3 installs games-fps/quake3-data-1.32b and
games-fps/quake3-1.33_alpha255.
the big files of quake3 (esp. the pak0.pk3 from the CD) are now located in
/mnt/data/spiele/quake3/baseq3 as i wanted it.
