When installing descent the ebuild would bomb in src_install on line 72, running bin/Linux/x86/loki_patch patch.dat ${Ddir} >& /dev/null || die "patching" I have ${GAMES_PREFIX_OPT} set to a location under my /pub directory. The cause of the failue is that is fails to find the descent3 executable when patching. This is because exeinto & insinto where both called with /opt/descent explicitly instead of ${dir}. Change these to calls, fixes the install for me. I'd give you a patch, but I'm not familiar with the patch tools, and I want to sleep now. Just go with this or something similar. src_install() { dodir ${dir} einfo "Copying files... this may take a while..." exeinto ${dir} doexe ${CDROM_ROOT}/bin/x86/glibc-2.1/{descent3,nettest} insinto ${dir} . . . Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Set GAMES_PREFIX_OPT=/pub/games/opt in make.conf 2. emerge descent3 and follow CD changing instructions (I assume you have the CD) 3. Profit!

Fixed... I didn't bump the version since you're probably the only person this has affected... ;] Wait and hour and emerge sync, then try again.
I'm syncing now. I'll unmerge and remerge and let you know how it goes. You wouldn't happen to also maintain games-fps/soldieroffortune would you?
It installed fine. Thanks. Soldlier of fortune has the same problem. Should I open another bug report? Actually, taking a quick look at my shelf to see what I still plan to reinstall, heavy gear & fakk2 have the same problem. Should I try fixing them up for my setup first and submit all/any changes needed then?
Yes, please... and even though they're the same problem... please file separate bugs... Also, let me know if you've got any other games, even ones not in portage, as I have quite a few that I haven't added and we could work together to get some rebuilds created for them.
So to put more traffic on a resolved bug. I would be willing to help with adding ebuild for the other games I have. I sent an email to your address in the comment likn and I didn't hear back. If it didn't get through and you are still interested, let me know and I'll resend my list of games.
I got it. I'm just busy. I'll get back to you after the release.
