where's the error?

Comment 2 Dan Levin 2008-11-16 15:25:31 UTC

Created attachment 171986 [details]
zziplib build log

In line 585 we see successful compilation of the source.
In line 695 ar tries to extract the manpage files and fails.

Comment 3 Dan Levin 2008-11-16 15:46:39 UTC

It appears that the build fails around line 695 in the build.log - where the manpages.ar archive is extracted. I'm not exactly sure how the installation of the man pages is intended to work, but its failure seems to trace back to that point.

works for me, reopen if the problem is still there

Comment 5 Dan Levin 2009-05-24 17:50:02 UTC

zziplib 0.13.52 builds for me. The problem appears to have been fixed since my ticket was filed.
