Bug 292000 – media-fonts/font-misc-misc-1.0.0 Makefile is broken

• Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX
• Product: Gentoo/Alt

[Description Stuart Shelton 2009-11-05 17:21:26 UTC]

Attempting to build font-misc-misc fails with:

/opt/gentoo/usr/bin/ucs2any 4x6.bdf /map-ISO8859-1 ISO8859-1
/opt/gentoo/usr/bin/ucs2any: Can't read mapping file '/map-ISO8859-1': No such file or directory!
make: *** [4x6-ISO8859-1.bdf] Error 1

... from the following Makefile rule:

.bdf-ISO8859-2.bdf:
        @rm -f $@
        $(UCS2ANY) $< $(UTIL_DIR)/map-ISO8859-2 ISO8859-2

... but where:

UTIL_DIR = $(pkg-config --variable=mapdir fontutil)

... which is clearly wrong.

Makefile.in and Makefile.am contain:

UTIL_DIR = @MAPFILES_PATH@

... and the ebuild does set:

CONFIGURE_OPTIONS="--with-mapfiles=${XDIR}/share/fonts/util"

... so it looks as if the supplied Makefile needs to be regenerated.

Failing this, how about this fix?

... although the problem with this is that pkg-config outputs "/opt/gentoo/usr/share/fonts/X11/util", which doesn't match "${XDIR}/share/fonts/util".

Having said this, the ebuild-supplied value of "${XDIR}/share/fonts/util" doesn't seem to exist, whereas the value from pkg-config does... so possibly the ebuild itself is also wrong?

Ah - the "X11" in the path above only occurred because I wasn't using x_modular_src_compile() when I (tried to) correct font-util.

So the path in the ebuild is fine, but the Makefile still seems to be wrong!

Hmm, and then during post-setup I also get:

... although mkfontscale is installed and running what looks as if are the steps carried out by x-modules.class' create_fonts_dir manually works...

hmmm, this ebuild seems to work fine for me

We are sorry to close this bug.  We lack the man-power and devotion to support mips-irix in the tree.
