Description archibald haddock 2009-12-31 16:30:45 UTC

Comping libsdl does not compile with /bin/sh -> /bin/zsh
 


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. ln -s /bin/zsh /bin/sh
2. emerge libsdl

Actual Results:  
>>> Source configured. 
 >>> Compiling source in /var/tmp/portage/media-libs/libsdl-1.2.14/work/SDL-1.2.14 ... 
 make -j2 
 /bin/sh build-scripts/mkinstalldirs build 
 make: *** No rule to make target `build/*.lo', needed by `build/libSDL.la'. Stop. 
 make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs.... 
 mkdir -p -- build 
 * ERROR: media-libs/libsdl-1.2.14 failed: 
 * emake failed 
 * 
 * Call stack: 
 * ebuild.sh, line 54: Called src_compile 
 * environment, line 2960: Called _eapi2_src_compile 
 * ebuild.sh, line 646: Called die 
 * The specific snippet of code: 
 * emake || die "emake failed" 
 * 

Expected Results:  
Compiling well.

zsh is not POSIX compatible shell, using it as /bin/sh replacement is a bad idea

Comment 2 archibald haddock 2010-01-04 16:15:39 UTC

Is right, but if the install wants to use bash features it should use /bin/bash as shell and not /bin/sh.
