Bug 2565 – Manedit ebuild installs to '/'

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Michael Gayeski 2002-05-08 00:20:57 UTC]

'emerge app-text/manedit' puts everything in the root dir, so it leaves you with a
/man, /share, etc... I think it's ignoring the PREFIX= setting. I took a quick
look at the Makefile, but everything *seemed* to be in order. I think the
problem lies in 'manedit/Makefile.install.UNIX' , but I don't know how to go
about diagnosing this :( .

Sorry about that. It was an oversight on my part. The 'make install' prefix was
missing the /usr part. I have corrected it.

Hi!

Commited fix to CVS. Thanks Nicholas for following up on your submitted ebuild.

FYI:  I also made some formatting fixes so that the ebuild would pass the
lintool tests, i.e. tabs for spaces, all required env variables.

diff the new rev to the old for more info.

lintool is part of the app-admin/gentoolkit package and is valuable for testing
ebuilds.
