Works now. 

[Comment 2 Seemant Kulleen (RETIRED) 2003-03-15 20:22:17 UTC]

what do you mean works now? I haven't done anything to it yet.

[Comment 3 Antonio D'souza 2003-03-15 20:33:27 UTC]

Oh, maybe it only worked because I fixed it locally & then ran portage again. 

[Comment 4 Seemant Kulleen (RETIRED) 2003-03-15 20:46:42 UTC]

what exactly did you do to fix?

[Comment 5 Antonio D'souza 2003-03-15 21:08:15 UTC]

I chnaged the ' in line 9839 of xfree-4.3.0-r1/work/xc/lib/X11/Makefile to a / & remerged. 

[Comment 6 Seemant Kulleen (RETIRED) 2003-03-15 22:28:40 UTC]

Luca, is the ebuild causing this to happen?

[Comment 7 Luca Barbato 2003-03-15 23:32:57 UTC]

I think not, given that I emerged xfree4.3.0-r1 in at least 3-4 different systems.

Antonio could you try to do that?

ebuild /usr/portage/x11-base/xfree/xfree-4.3.0-r1.ebuild clean

ebuild /usr/portage/x11-base/xfree/xfree-4.3.0-r1.ebuild install

and see if is reproducible?

I tried here again and I can't reproduce that behaviour 

[Comment 8 Antonio D'souza 2003-03-16 08:50:06 UTC]

Did that & it workd this time. I even peek at the bad spot in the Makefile halfway during compilation & it was fine. Must've been bitrot! 

[Comment 9 Luca Barbato 2003-03-16 10:44:39 UTC]

Closing it then =)
