Bug 88294 – sox-12.17.7-r1 doesn't install binaries on Mac OS X

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo/Alt

[Description Scott Alfter 2005-04-07 14:22:11 UTC]

On Mac OS X, the sox-12.17.7-r1 ebuild installs documentation, but doesn't install binaries.  The same ebuild, when tested on x86 Linux, installs binaries and docs.

I tried using ebuild instead of emerge to step through the build process.  ebuild compile builds the sox binary, which ends up at /var/tmp/portage/sox-12.17.7-r1/work/sox-12.17.7/src/sox.  ebuild install, OTOH, shows a message from make that "'install' is up to date."

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
emerge sox

Actual Results:  
docs were installed, but binaries weren't

Expected Results:  
installed both binaries and docs

Please include the output of `emerge info`

emerge info

Done...though I noticed it has some strange output.  It complains that python,
autoconf, automake, binutils, and libtool aren't present, but they are (they
must be part of Mac OS X itself and aren't installed by Gentoo).  Is this
normal?

[Comment 3 Fabian Groffen 2005-08-31 13:35:31 UTC]

the binaries are related to the configure setting the variable PLAY_SUPPORT to
true.  Apparently configure cannot find a sound server on OSX that it can play
with and hence only installs documentation.  (Not really useful...)

This might be a package that will never be added to ppc-macos unless upstream
adds support.  Any objections from the ppc-macos team to mark this bug as
closed/cantfix?

No objections here.

closing the bug, we cannot fix this, it appears to be an upstream issue.

[Comment 6 Kito (RETIRED) 2005-09-01 08:27:26 UTC]

I have a one-liner to fix this somehwere, I'll commit it soon.

sox-12.7.7-noplay.patch

Borrowed from DarwinPorts, need to test it on linux before it gets commited.

Sox 12.7.9 just got added to the portage tree. Can you confirm whether this is still a problem please?

[Comment 9 Fabian Groffen 2006-01-22 05:36:52 UTC]

problem still persists.  Only installs documentation, says:

make: `install' is up to date.

[Comment 10 Fabian Groffen 2008-02-24 21:31:22 UTC]

sox-14.0.1 installs fine (after I fixed gsm), so I consider this bug fixed.
