emerge par fails. the following is the output from that command: Calculating dependencies ...done! >>> emerge (1 of 1) app-arch/par-1.1 to / >>> md5 ;-) par-v1.1.tar.gz >>> Unpacking source... >>> Unpacking par-v1.1.tar.gz to /var/tmp/portage/par-1.1/work sed: -e expression #1, char 87: Unterminated `s' command >>> Source unpacked. make: *** No targets. Stop. !!! ERROR: app-arch/par-1.1 failed. !!! Function src_compile, Line 25, Exitcode 2 !!! (no error message) as you can see, sed fails to substitute the CFLAGS in the orignal makefile due to a bug in the ebuild. the ebuild uses double quotes in the sed command which can cause problems. ideally, when specifing a script on the command line with sed, single quotes should be used. modifiying the ebuild fixes this problem. here is the output from 'emerge info': Portage 2.0.47-r10 (default-x86-1.4, gcc-3.2.2, glibc-2.3.1-r4) ================================================================= System uname: 2.4.20-gentoo-r4 i686 AMD Athlon(TM) XP 2100+ GENTOO_MIRRORS=" ftp://mirror.iawnet.sandia.gov/pub/gentoo/" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /var/qmail/control /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb /usr/kde/3.1/share/config /usr/share/config" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/env.d" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="" USE="3dnow cups gif libg++ mikmod mmx ncurses nls spell xml2 gdbm berkdb slang readline tetex svga guile gpm tcpd ssl motif kde qt -alsa arts apm avi bonobo cdr crypt dga encode esd gnome gtk gtk2 gtkhtml imlib java jpeg leim libwww mozilla mpeg oggvorbis opengl oss pam pda pdflib perl png python quicktime scanner sdl sse tcltk tiff truetype usb X xmms xv zlib x86" COMPILER="gcc3" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=athlon-xp -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -m3dnow -msse -mfpmath=sse -mmmx -falign-functions=4 -ffast-math" CXXFLAGS="-march=athlon-xp -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -m3dnow -msse -mfpmath=sse -mmmx -falign-functions=4 -ffast-math" ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" MAKEOPTS="-j2" AUTOCLEAN="yes" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" FEATURES="sandbox ccache" there is only one version of par, par-1.1, and it is affected. i am currently using sed ver. 4.0.7. by going into /var/tmp/portage/par-1.1/work/par-cmdline and testing the sed command from the ebuild seperately, the sed command no longer fails. previously, it would output a blank 'Makefile' since sed bombed out with an error. this is what causes 'emerge par' to report " make: *** No targets. Stop." Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge par Actual Results: command failed with the error "!!! ERROR: app-arch/par-1.1 failed. !!! Function src_compile, Line 25, Exitcode 2 !!! (no error message)" Expected Results: should have emerged par sed command line in /usr/portage/app-arch/par/par-1.1.ebuild should read as follows: " sed 's/CFLAGS.*/CFLAGS = -Wall $CFLAGS/' Makefile.orig > Makefile" instead of "sed "s/CFLAGS.*/CFLAGS = -Wall $CFLAGS/" Makefile.orig > Makefile" last minute note: this does not solve the problem. changing the above results in: Calculating dependencies ...done! >>> emerge (1 of 1) app-arch/par-1.1 to / >>> md5 ;-) par-v1.1.tar.gz >>> Unpacking source... >>> Unpacking par-v1.1.tar.gz to /var/tmp/portage/par-1.1/work >>> Source unpacked. gcc -Wall FLAGS -c -o backend.o backend.c gcc -Wall FLAGS -c -o checkpar.o checkpar.c gcc: cannot specify -o with -c or -S and multiple compilations make: *** [backend.o] Error 1 make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs.... gcc: cannot specify -o with -c or -S and multiple compilations make: *** [checkpar.o] Error 1 !!! ERROR: app-arch/par-1.1 failed. !!! Function src_compile, Line 25, Exitcode 2 !!! (no error message) I thought I had fixed this for sure! It seems like sed does not interpret $CFLAGS in its command line as a shell variable, and instead puts '$CFLAGS' verbatim in the new output Makefile. So now running 'make' fails since gcc thinks more than one input file is being used. Hopefully more collaboration can fix this buggy ebuild. I'd really like to get par to work!
fixed in cvs compiles fine here
This works for me now. Please close this off completely.
