Bug 65875 – pkgconfig does not install /usr/share/aclocal/pkg.m4 on MacOSX

• Status: VERIFIED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Joe Jezak (RETIRED) 2004-09-29 22:40:37 UTC]

Emerging pkgconfig does not install /usr/share/aclocal/pkg.m4 on MacOSX.  This is due to the prepall script not removing excess / marks from its path, causing it to not be installed properly.  The problem arises from the fact that prepall only tries to remove double /'s instead of 2 or more.  On MacOS, the path has three slashes in it.  I've attached a fix.  I'm not sure if this will have any unintended side effects, but I don't think so.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Emerge pkgconfig on MacOSX
2. Emerge a package that depends on /usr/share/aclocal/pkg.m4


Actual Results:  
Complains of missing pkg.m4

Expected Results:  
Emerged properly
