Description Brian Rozmierski 2002-06-20 18:15:41 UTC
The wvstreams-3.70.ebuild file (cvs ver 1.1) contains a typo at the end of the
src_install() routine. Instead of "|| die" to end processing on an error, the
file has "|| dir" which causes any compiling errors to go undetected, and a
false installation to proceed.

This bug is fairly obvious when compiling this package with gcc3.1 (Gentoo 1.3a)
as the package has some gcc 3.1 specific problem.

As a side note - wouldn't it be more proper for the file to have seperate
src_compile() and src_install() routines, instead of just 1 _install routine?

my fault on the typo and the lack of src_compile()

dunno what I was thinking that day.  Anyway, that has been sorted.  I'm punting
this bug report to the gcc-3 team to see if they can sort out that issue.
Comment 2 Brian Rozmierski 2002-06-21 11:07:32 UTC
I had opened a seperate gcc3 bug, (bug 3956) to cover the gcc3 issues. :)

And the new ebuild looks much better. Thanks! (Marking Fixed)
