Description devsk 2004-07-01 22:44:34 UTC

KDE doesn't compile if the ROOT is not "/". The reason is that everything is assumed to be under "/".

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. ROOT="/opt/" emerge kdebase
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
Fails to find OpenSSL in /opt/usr and compile fails.

Expected Results:  
Compile should succeed.

The attached patch makes it possible to emerge kde in non "/" locations.

Sorry for not responding for so long.

However, dependent libraries should be installed in both "/" and "$ROOT" (if
they are in DEPEND and RDEPEND), so I don't think this should be a problem, 
(and the code has changed a lot since then).
Please reopen if you think it's still an issue.
