Description Peter Gantner (a.k.a. nephros) 2008-03-28 14:50:52 UTC

I have LINGUAS="C POSIX en en_IE en_US" set in my make.conf

This causes x11-misc/xscreensaver-5.05 compile to fail with this message:

User programs will be installed in /usr/bin/
Screen savers will be installed in /usr/lib/misc/xscreensaver/
Configuration dialogs will be installed in /usr/share/xscreensaver/config/
System-wide default settings will be installed in /usr/share/X11/app-defaults/

cp -p xscreensaver-demo-Gtk xscreensaver-demo
building m6502.h from ./images/m6502/*.asm
building molecules.h from ./../images/molecules/*.pdb
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `C.gmo', needed by `all-yes'.  Stop.
make: *** [default] Error 5

I don't know if LINGUAS="C" is an illegal value, but I have been using it for a couple of months now and this is the first compile I can see failing because of it.

LINGUAS="" emerge xscreensaver does compile fine.


Reproducible: Always

LINGUAS="C POSIX" is not valid, plus completely pointless... See $PORTDIR/profiles/desc/linguas.desc for a list of valid values.
