The current sys-fs/ntfsprogs-2.0.0 ebuild installs the normal binaries (make && make install). Anyway ntfsprogs comes with extra programs for advanced users, but they are just not supported by the current ebuild. Those programs could be compiled with an "make extra". Since gentoo always leaves the user the choice of what he wants, it would be great to have install these extra programs when an USE variable is on/off. Here is how we can do with the USE='-minimal'. Just add the following code in the src_compile() and src_install() functions: src_compile() { if ! use minimal then emake extra || die "Make extra failed" fi } src_install() { if ! use minimal then cd ntfsprogs/.libs strip ntfswipe ntfstruncate ntfsmove ntfsmftalloc ntfsdump_logfile dosbin ntfswipe ntfstruncate ntfsmove ntfsmftalloc ntfsdump_logfile fi } Reproducible: Always
you should never install binaries directly out of the .lib subdirectories, or run strip at all manually ntfsprogs-2.0.0-r1 should do what you want
Thanks a lot for your quick update. It seems to be a cleaner solution. I tested this patch/ebuild and it's working well on my system. Thanks for that.
