Created attachment 679134 [details] The output of emerge --info and build.log libplist-2.2.0-r2 fails to build with the error: * ACCESS DENIED: symlinkat: /src/libplist.la ln: failed to create symbolic link '/src/libplist.la': Permission denied As noted in the forums this looks like a bug in the ebuild: https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-8548458.html#8548458 src_compile() { # ln -s "${native_builddir}/src/libplist-2.0.la" "${native_builddir}/src/libplist.la" python_compile() { emake -C "${BUILD_DIR}"/cython \ VPATH="${S}/cython:${native_builddir}/cython" \ plist_la_LIBADD="${native_builddir}/src/libplist-2.0.la" } local native_builddir=${BUILD_DIR} [...] where ${native_builddir} is used before it is defined so the symbolic link fails because it is pointing to the wrong location. My emerge --info and build.log are attached.
For what it's worth, I created a modified ebuild in a local repo and moved the line: local native_builddir=${BUILD_DIR} to the top of the src_compile() function and that appears to fix the issue for me. I've never really created a patch before so I'm not sure if I did it correctly, but I'll attach one of my fix. It's a pretty trivial change in any case.
