After building, emerge pingus dies with the following error: make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/pingus-0.6.0-r1/work/pingus-0.6.0' mv: missing file argument Try `mv --help' for more information. nls man: gzipping man page: pingus.6 . . . (but processes finishes "successfully") An I ended up with a "/usr/games/games" dir with the pingus executable in their instead of in "/usr/games/bin" with some other games I have installed. This is related to the "POS install process" :) src_install() { make install DESTDIR=${D} || die "make install failed" # pos install process ... FIXME mv "${D}/usr/games/"{games,bin} cd "${D}/usr/share/games" use nls && mv locale ../ mv games/pingus . rm -rf games # end pos install process prepgamesdirs } The mv line expands correctly on my desktop system but not on my desktop: LAPTOP: nilok@belladonna ~ $ echo "${D}/usr/games/"{games,bin} temp/usr/games/{games,bin} nilok@belladonna ~ $ bash --version GNU bash, version 3.00.13(1)-release (i686-pc-linux-gnu) Copyright (C) 2004 Free Software Foundation, Inc. DESKTOP: nilok@aconite ~ $ echo "${D}/usr/games/"{games,bin} temp/usr/games/games temp/usr/games/bin nilok@aconite ~ $ bash --version GNU bash, version 3.00.0(1)-release (i686-pc-linux-gnu) Copyright (C) 2004 Free Software Foundation, Inc. nilok@aconite ~ $ So I guess its a bash version thing. Anyway, long story short, change the mv line from: mv "${D}/usr/games/"{games,bin} to mv ${D}/usr/games/games ${D}/usr/games/bin and stop trying to use fancy bash script that I don't understand ;-) Also, should mv commands and stuff like that have a "| die" after them. This bug wouldn't been a lot more obivious if they did...
Created attachment 40743 [details] bash-3.0-braceexpansion-fix.patch Hi, Aron Griffis already reported this bug to Chet Ramey (bash maintainer). And Chet already provided a fix for this. It's short but not yet reported here, so I do this :) Poly
straight-forward is better. I just changed it to bash code that'll work with both versions.
