Summary: Failures in vscan compile are ignored until install

Description chris-gentoo 2004-10-19 00:21:48 UTC
The ebuild seems to ignore errors from compiling the vscan when USE="oav". The ebuild instead fails at install time when the make install tried to complete the compilation.
Obviously this is a minor thing, but it's a pain on slower computers, as the error could've been detected and corrected much sooner.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Intoduce a compile error into vscan
2.USE="oav" emerge samba

Actual Results:  
Compile errors in vscan are ignored. Instead the ebuild fails during install 
of vscan (because install calls compile to complete the compile, which fails) 

Expected Results:  
The build should have bailed out when the compile failed the first time.
