Bug 291530 – games-strategy/glest-3.2.2 ebuild passes invalid options to jam

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Ken Rushia 2009-11-02 06:46:53 UTC]

Ebuild passes MAKEOPTS to jam, which can contain unsupported switches (jam is not make). The ebuild has a sed hack that assumes the only thing that would be in MAKEOPTS is -j.

src_compile() {
        local jamopts=$(echo "${MAKEOPTS}" | sed -ne "/-j/ { s/.*\(-j[0-9]\+\).*/\1/; p }")
        jam -dx -q ${jamopts} || die "jam failed"
}


My suggestion is to remove the MAKEOPTS reference altogether.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Put something besides -j in MAKEOPTS (example: MAKEOPTS="-j 1 -l 0.7").
2. emerge glest

Actual Results:  
>>> Compiling source in /var/tmp/portage/games-strategy/glest-3.2.2/work/glest-source-3.2.2 ...
Invalid option: -l
