Description Chris Ditri 2004-02-24 05:34:40 UTC
Ever since my last emerge -U world, I no longer have mkisofs on my system.  These two packages were included in that update (along with the kde 3.2 updates):

[ebuild     U ] app-cdr/cdrtools-2.01_alpha25 [2.01_alpha14]
[ebuild     U ] app-cdr/xcdroast-0.98_alpha15-r3 [0.98_alpha13]

I used to have mkisofs under /usr/bin -- now it is nowhere.  I have tried emerge sync and re-emerging cdrtools (because it looks like it is supposed to be included in this ebuild now) -- but it doesn't install it anywhere!  I cannot run Xcdroast, growisofs or even use cdrecord without it.  I need to do this almost on a daily basis, so it is a major show-stopper.

I tried emerging dvd+rw-tools and xcdroast again as well, hoping it would pull the dependency, but that didn't help either.

Thanks

Chris

Tried unmerging cdrtools and remerging... still doesn't install mkisofs.

Tried unmerging and remerging cdrtools-2.01_alpha23 instead of alpha25... same problem!  No trace of mkisofs on my machine anywhere.

you neglected to provide `emerge info` ... we'll also need some output of the emerge process (probably like `emerge cdrtools >& log`)

Thanks for the logs, that helped a lot!

When you grep for mkisofs in the compile-log, you see that there are some troubles while building.  Could you change the ebuild an delete the  -D__attribute_const__=const in line 47?  This fixes other troubles with some 2.6-kernels, but it could be, that it makes problems with a 2.4-kernel...  I can't test it myself, as the 2.4 kernel won't run on my system any more.

Thanks in advance for helping with this problem.

log of modified ebuild

I removed the lines you indicated in the ebuild.  Lines 46, 47 and 48 now read:

src_compile() {
    emake CC="${CC}" || die
}


Unfortunately, It didn't work.	:0(

Well, I tried compiling the thing without portage.  It compiles just fine, so it is definitely a problem with the ebuild.

While I compiled it, I did not install it, so we can continue to trouble-shoot.  I would be happy to try some other things if you have any more suggestions -- just to get to the bottom of this.
Comment 7 Lars Weiler (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-06-17 15:46:20 UTC
Is this still valid with cdrtools-2.01_alpha28-r1?
Comment 8 Chris Ditri 2004-06-18 05:59:01 UTC
Funny you should ask.  I recently reinstalled my system from scratch.  Mkisofs installed as it should.  So... I would say this could be considered closed.

Thanks.
