Bug 954126 – dev-lang/zig: ebuild dosym invocation breaks prefix

• Status: UNCONFIRMED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

Re: Existing Zig ebuilds.

On my Gentoo Prefix the 

`dosym -r "${ZIG_SYS_INSTALL_DEST}/bin/zig" /usr/bin/zig-${PV}`

invocation in `src_install` fails due to nesting of the Gentoo prefix directory on the left-hand side. I changed it to 

`dosym -r "/usr/$(get_libdir)/zig/${PV}/bin/zig" /usr/bin/zig-${PV}`

which is the non-prefix portion of `ZIG_SYS_INSTALL_DEST` and it worked.

Thank you,
Michael
