/opt is the standard location for binary packages. There is absolutely no requirement in FHS for providing symlinks for content into the /usr tree. I've double-checked on purpose. http://www.pathname.com/fhs/pub/fhs-2.3.html#OPTADDONAPPLICATIONSOFTWAREPACKAGES Please list some of the packages that are broken, because I know of NONE in the tree that use fdftk that are broken. The only thing in the tree presently that uses fdftk is PHP, and that compiles fine with ./configure --with-fdftk=/opt/fdftk-6.0 perhaps your other application should be compiled with a similiar switch. If it doesn't support doing that, it should be changed to support it. My apologies about the FHS comment, I was merely confused. The problem occurs with the dev-php/mod_php-5.0.0.ebuild (which I have posted a parallel bug report too concerning FdFtk and several other libs). I am aware that the mod_php-5.0.0 ebuild is masked but I wanted to do some testing on it to help out. The problem with it is that it's econf is setup to look for FdFtk in /usr/include and /usr/lib so when it cannot find them it dies. I had to manually make symlinks to solve the issue. stuart is working on the php5 stuff, it's still hardmasked as there are a number of parts he still needs to finish off, look around at his php5 bugs for a list from within the last day or two of things left to sort out. I am unable to test fdftk support for PHP 5 atm, because the Adobe web pages do not work for the web browser that I use. That said, I've updated the php5 support to look in /opt/fdftk-6.0, which should resolve your problem. Best regards, Stu Please test these changes, and let me know how you get on. Best regards, Stu The changes worked perfectly, thanks, your dep changes also worked as well. I'm going to do a few more test phases but other then that it looks like mod_php-5.0.0.ebuild seems solid at least from what I can see. |
