Bug 73629 – some apps create files arch-vendor-linux-uclibc-<app>

• Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Peter S. Mazinger 2004-12-07 00:48:01 UTC]

I have change my host to i386-gentoo-linux-uclibc
ncurses and module-init-tools use this prefix for all created files
(result: no /sbin/modprobe ... anymore)
solution 1: add --program-prefix= to both ebuilds when running econf
solution 2: add --program-prefix= to econf generally

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.

I'm opting for solution #1
I'm not sure about solution #2 at this time. (much testing would have to be done)

1 down.
ncurses-5.4-r5 - Fixed in CVS 
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Stopped abusing uclibc for cxx handling, the ebuild now uses nocxx bug #73633
- enable work around --program-prefix= as ncurses will pick up the arch tuple and put it in the program prefix incorrectly as arch-vendor-linux-<libc>-<app>
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[blocks B     ] sys-apps/modutils (from pkg sys-apps/module-init-tools-3.1)
[ebuild  N    ] sys-apps/module-init-tools-3.1  -debug -no-old-linux 349 kB 

I'm not keen on testing modules-init-tools right now. 
Provide patch please for others or another time.

it is module-init-tools-3.0-r2 too (stable)
