Bug 329935 – net-wireless/wimax-1.5 fails to build on x86 with "Sed failed" message

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Simeon Maryasin 2010-07-26 15:30:48 UTC]

From ebuild:
  use amd64 && sed -i [...] || die "Sed failed"

This always causes failure with "Sed failed" message if USE="-amd64".

Thanks for the report. 

I don't understand your proposed fix though -- did you change anything aside from converting the shortcut '&&' into the longer 'if-then' syntax?

[Comment 3 Jeroen Roovers (RETIRED) 2010-07-26 20:52:46 UTC]

Please don't do that.

[Comment 4 Jeroen Roovers (RETIRED) 2010-07-26 20:57:53 UTC]

The patch is valid:

jeroen@astrid ~ $ cat usefooordie.sh 
#!/bin/bash

false && echo yesitstrue || echo noitswrong
jeroen@astrid ~ $ ./usefooordie.sh 
noitswrong

The die() is always executed when `use amd64' returns false.

Its fixed, Now wimax wimax-tools and libeap always builds as 32bit apps
