Description Nils Freydank 2015-02-21 06:50:09 UTC

When I build spidermonkey:31 (dev-lang/spidermonkey-31.2.0_rc0:31::mozilla) there are many broken symlinks in /usr/include/mozjs-31/. They do point to a directory in /var/tmp/portage, obviously some build directory.

If you need more informations please tell :)

HTH,
holgersson

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. layman -S mozilla
2. emerge -1 spidermonkey:31
3. ls -l /usr/include/mozjs-31/

Comment 1 Tolga Dalman 2015-03-15 15:01:54 UTC

Out of curiosity, I investigated a bit on this. Obviously, it is intended to install the includes as symlinks. The rules are defined here: js/src/_build_manifests/install/dist_include

"1" before each entry means symlink, while we would need "2" (i.e., copy -- see python/mozbuild/mozpack/manifests.py for the details).

An easy fix would be to invoke a sed -e 's/^1/2/' on dist_include (or all dist_* manifest files to prevent future problems). Works fine so far.

Also note that SpiderMonkey 31.5.0 is available.

I'll look into this when I update the ebuild to 31.5

If you feel I have closed your bug and it is still a current issue, please reopen and update it completely. We will not work bugs that have no ebuild in tree any longer or can not be reproduced with a current system.
