Bug 275804 – sci-astronomy/wcslib-4.3.3 fails in src_install()

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Adrian Bassett 2009-06-29 10:50:33 UTC]

Upgrading wcslib to 4.3.3 from 4.3-r1 fails with:

make[1]: Leaving directory `/tmp_portage/portage/sci-astronomy/wcslib-4.3.3/work/wcslib-4.3.3/utils'
!!! dolib: C/libwcs-4.3.3.a does not exist
!!! dolib: pgsbox/libpgsbox-4.3.3.a does not exist
 * 
 * ERROR: sci-astronomy/wcslib-4.3.3 failed.

This is because the ebuild uses the $PV variable, equating to 4.3.3, but the compilation is producing files without the most minor version number.  I.e:

C/libwcs-4.3.a
pgsbox/libpgsbox-4.3.a

Substituting a hard-coded 4.3 instead of the $PV variable in src_install gets the application installed OK.


Reproducible: Always

Fixed in just committed 4.3.3.-r1. Thanks.

libwcs in wcstools and libwcs in wcslib share the same name and some symbols, but differ much in their code and functionality. Also upstream is not communicative. So it will remain as is.
