Bug 241956 – app-crypto/tpm-emulator: kernel sources accessed through /lib/modules/`uname -r`

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Diego Elio Pettenò (RETIRED) 2008-10-14 12:52:40 UTC]

This bug is being reported because this ebuild is currently trying to build against the kernel tree by accessing it through /lib/modules/`uname -r` instead than through /usr/src/linux like it should.

This is bad in many situations, like:

- livecd installs: the running kernel is the one from the livecd and is most
likely not the same the user is installing to;
- livecd chroot fixes: as above;
- generic chroot: running kernel comes from outside, as above;
- kernel updates: users most likely would want their system to have all the
modules ready _before_ restarting.

Please fix your ebuild to use /usr/src/linux.

Thanks,
Diego

I'm guessing that it should rather use $KV_OUT_DIR from linux-info.eclass so it won't interfere with different object directories with the kernel.

Addition for src_unpack():
sed -i 's#/lib/modules/\$(KERNEL_RELEASE)/build#'"${KV_OUT_DIR}#" \
tpm{,d}_dev/Makefile

Resolved in 0.5.1 release.
