Description Vicky Souza 2020-09-06 01:24:53 UTC
When I try to install =app-text/texlive-core-2020-r9, compilation fails due to what I understand to be an error in the top-level Makefile. (On my system, this is "/var/tmp/portage/app-text/texlive-core-2020-r9/work/texlive-core-2020_build/Makefile"). Portage gives me this error message:

make[1]: Entering directory '/var/tmp/portage/app-text/texlive-core-2020-r9/work/texlive-core-2020_build'
/bin/sh: -c: line 16: syntax error near unexpected token `;'
/bin/sh: -c: line 16: `      if ; then echo "make: running /bin/sh $cmd$skip"; fi && \'

Searching said Makefile for the string "make: running", I found out that the blank argument to the "if" above is "$(AM_V_P)", which is defined as "$(am__v_P_$(V))". "V" is not defined anywhere, hence "AM_V_P" should degenerate into "am__v_P_", which seems to be defined without any problems.

I don't know where exactly the problem lies, but I attempted to patch the ebuild so that the line "V=1" got prepended to the Makefile. Somehow or another, this solved the problem. (Pretty ugly, I know, but this was the best I could come up with.)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
LC_ALL=C emerge -va texlive-core

Lokks invalid to me as it feels like you invoke something weird into your environment. Please tell us what is your printent, also what is your /bin/sh symlink (where it points).
Comment 7 Vicky Souza 2020-09-06 20:56:47 UTC
Yes, I also find this problem very weird. I have never encountered it before with any other packages.
