• Product: Gentoo/Alt
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Steven Trogdon 2014-07-12 05:02:25 UTC]

Building gstreamer-0.10.36-r2 in prefix gives, during the install phase:

>>> Completed installing gstreamer-0.10.36-r2 into /local/gentoo-redlizard/var/tmp/portage/media-libs/gstreamer-0.10.36-r2/image/

The problem seems to be with the GST_PLUGIN_SCANNER_INSTALLED variable

$ grep GST_PLUGIN_SCANNER_INSTALLED config.log
GST_PLUGIN_SCANNER_INSTALLED='/usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10/gst-plugin-scanner'
#define GST_PLUGIN_SCANNER_INSTALLED "/usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10/gst-plugin-scanner"

which is set in configure.ac by

AS_AC_EXPAND(GST_PLUGIN_SCANNER_INSTALLED,${libexecdir}/gstreamer-$GST_MAJORMINOR/gst-plugin-scanner)

This seems to fix things in the ebuild:

<               --libexecdir=/usr/$(get_libdir) \
---
>               --libexecdir=${EPREFIX}/usr/$(get_libdir) \
