Description Marc-Éric Dupuis 2004-08-20 20:06:49 UTC

If /tmp is mounted as noexec then tightvnc will refuse to compile with the following error:

sh: line 1: /tmp/imakeomq9fL: Permission denied
make[1]: *** [config/makedepend/Makefile.proto] Aborted
make[1]: *** Deleting file `config/makedepend/Makefile.proto'
make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/tightvnc-4.0_beta20031113/work/vnc-make: *** [World] Error 2

!!! ERROR: net-misc/tightvnc-4.0_beta20031113 failed.
!!! Function src_compile, Line 85, Exitcode 2
!!! (no error message)

The name of the file that tries to execute from /tmp always a different randomly generated name. The ebuild should not use /tmp to do its compilation I think because many persons put it as noexec for security reasons.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Mount /tmp as noexec
2.ACCEPT_KEYWORDS=~arch emerge tightvnc
3.

Comment 1 Marc-Éric Dupuis 2004-08-20 20:12:13 UTC

A temporary fix is to:

mount /tmp -oexec -oremount

then it will compile sucessfully. Then you can:

mount /tmp -onoexec -oremount

tightvnc-4.0 beta has been removed, please use net-misc/vnc-4.0. When tightvnc releases a new version based on xfree 4.x it will be added to the tree.
