Bug 430632 – sys-fs/zfs - /usr/bin/install: unrecognized option '--variable=udevdir'

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description dacook 2012-08-09 16:34:59 UTC]

The ebuilds for now-current sys-fs/zfs-0.6.0_rc9-r6 and sys-fs/zfs-9999 have a broken option in src_configure.  Don't have a patch immediately handy, but "--with-udevdir" needs to have "udevdir udev" exec-quoted:

  --with-udevdir="$(tc-getPKG_CONFIG) --variable=$(udevdir udev)"

as opposed to the current:

  --with-udevdir="$(tc-getPKG_CONFIG) --variable=udevdir udev"

The latter fails during the install phase.

Actual failure log:

 /bin/mkdir -p '/var/tmp/portage/sys-fs/zfs-0.6.0_rc9-r6/image/pkg-config --variable=udevdir udev'
  /bin/sh ../../libtool --silent  --mode=install /usr/bin/install -c zvol_id '/var/tmp/portage/sys-fs/zfs-0.6.0_rc9-r6/image/pkg-config --variable=udevdir udev'
/usr/bin/install: unrecognized option '--variable=udevdir'

And I need to update that again - I misread the message and assumed the wrong fix.  Looking at other samples from the tree, this would be a more appropriate fix:

  --with-udevdir="$($(tc-getPKG_CONFIG) --variable=udevdir udev)"

Thankyou for reporting this. This is now fixed in the tree. The fix should be available on mirrors within a few hours.
