Bootstrapping findutils (./bootstrap-prefix.sh $EPREFIX/tmp findutils) fails when trying to produce the documentation on Mac OS X 10.5. The output from the build process is as follows: Making install in doc restore=: && backupdir=".am$$" && \ am__cwd=`pwd` && cd . && \ rm -rf $backupdir && mkdir $backupdir && \ if (/bin/sh /Users/shaunc/Gentoo/tmp/var/tmp/findutils-4.4.0/findutils-4.4.0/build-aux/missing --run makeinfo --version) >/dev/null 2>&1; then \ for f in find.info find.info-[0-9] find.info-[0-9][0-9] find.i[0-9] find.i[0-9][0-9]; do \ if test -f $f; then mv $f $backupdir; restore=mv; else :; fi; \ done; \ else :; fi && \ cd "$am__cwd"; \ if /bin/sh /Users/shaunc/Gentoo/tmp/var/tmp/findutils-4.4.0/findutils-4.4.0/build-aux/missing --run makeinfo -I . \ -o find.info find.texi; \ then \ rc=0; \ cd .; \ else \ rc=$?; \ cd . && \ $restore $backupdir/* `echo "./find.info" | sed 's|[^/]*$||'`; \ fi; \ rm -rf $backupdir; exit $rc find.texi:10: @include `../locate/dblocation.texi': No such file or directory. find.texi:554: warning: undefined flag: LOCATE_DB. find.texi:2681: warning: undefined flag: LOCATE_DB. find.texi:2683: warning: undefined flag: LOCATE_DB. find.texi:3160: warning: undefined flag: LOCATE_DB. find.texi:3346: warning: undefined flag: LOCATE_DB. find.texi:5230: warning: undefined flag: LOCATE_DB. find.texi:5238: warning: undefined flag: LOCATE_DB. makeinfo: Removing output file `find.info' due to errors; use --force to preserve. make[1]: *** [find.info] Error 1 make: *** [install-recursive] Error 1 Is it possible to skip the doco? Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. ./bootstrap-prefix.sh $EPREFIX tree ./bootstrap-prefix.sh $EPREFIX/tmp wget ./bootstrap-prefix.sh $EPREFIX/tmp sed ./bootstrap-prefix.sh $EPREFIX/tmp python ./bootstrap-prefix.sh $EPREFIX/tmp coreutils6 ./bootstrap-prefix.sh $EPREFIX/tmp findutils 2. 3. Actual Results: Build process fails to find ../locate/dblocation.texi when building the documentation. Expected Results: Build completes and findutils is installed to $EPREFIX/tmp.
I have added a URL, this problem was reported on the Gentoo/Alt ML. No solution yet...
hmmm.... do you have MAKEOPTS set to anything, by chance?
this is annoying I just did exactly the same and it completes without any problem. I tried it on a case sensitive filesystem (HFS+, case sensitive/journaled). As far as I know my 10.4 Prefix runs on a case INsensitive filesystem (HFS+) and it didn't give me problems there either.
This happens to me also, every time on OSX 10.5 (Case Insensitive HFS+), amd64-linux & x86-linux. No MAKEOPTS set. Commenting out the Interix patch + touch lines works.
I get the impression that the documentation is regenerated, since the interix patch touches the find.c file. Perhaps, find.texi needs to be touched in the ebuild as well, to solve this. Since I don't seem to have a machine that exhibits this behaviour, can someone please test if touching find.info works (I guess that's the file it wants to (re)generate)
I have nothing set in MAKEOPTS. OS X 10.5 HFS+, case insensitive, journaled. A 'touch doc/find.info' prior to the '$MAKE install' in bootstrap-prefix.sh allows the build/install to complete without error...
ok, thanks! I'll try to fix0r this asap
Created attachment 152253 [details, diff] Patch to 'touch doc/find.info' when bootstrapping findutils. I'm sure there is a more elegant solution, but for what its worth, I have attached the diff for the change I made to bootstrap-prefix.sh.
Thanks, I'll fix the ebuild, and regenerate the tarball, which should do the trick
I fixed the tar and the ebuild, so hopefully this issue has been resolved now. Thanks all!
Hmm, still didn't work for me. Based on Shaun's comment #6, I moved the "touch doc/find.info" line to the last line of src_compile, after the "emake AR="$(tc-getAR).." line. This worked for me.
that's disturbing... I need to look at that more closely then.
I got the problem on Interix, and after a new fix it compiled without problems here, I think I solved the problem for real now.
aparently not, grrr
Black magic for sure, but something triggers some makeinfo stuff, I worked around it now by preserving all timestamps of files patched by the Interix patch. Should finally be fixed now.
