Valknut does the compiling perfectly however when it wants to merge it fails to get write access to the qt/etc/settings dir. After examining the ebuild I found the folloing entry in src_compile: addwrite "$QTDIR/etc/settings" addpredict "$QTDIR/etc/settings" After changing it to : addwrite "${QTDIR}/etc/settings" addpredict "${QTDIR}/etc/settings" I got the ebuild working properly. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
I guess this has been fixed together with bug 91851.
