Bug 73830 – CFLAGS override in qstat ebuild causes -Dsysconfdir to not be defined in build

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Daniel Ceregatti 2004-12-08 12:19:57 UTC]

After emerging qstat-2.6 I try to query something that's defined in /etc/qstat.cfg, such as my customized armyops search, which I want available to all users, hence its presence in the global /etc/qstat.cfg:

gametype AA new extend GS2
        name = America's Army
        default port = 1717
end


This fails. Strace shows it never looks at /etc/qstat.cfg. I then re-emerge and observe the output and note that -Dsysconfdir isn't defined during the compile. I then check the ebuild, and sure enough, CFLAGS is completely overridden by the ebuild.

Typing "make" in the qstat source directory adds -Dsysconfdir=\"/etc\" to CFLAGS, thereby causing /etc/qstat.cfg to be read by qstat.

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

Actual Results:  
qstat -aa fungus.sh.nu
unknown option "-aa"


Expected Results:  
qstat -aa fungus.sh.nu

Created attachment 45555 [details, diff]
qstat-2.6.ebuild patch that defines sysconfdir=/etc

This works for me.
