Bug 816702

Summary:	media-plugins/gst-plugins-opus-1.18.4-r2: fails to compile if /var/tmp/portage is a symlink

Description Doug Nazar 2021-10-06 19:38:09 UTC

When compiling more than one plugin, gstreamer_multilib_src_compile() strips the $BUILD_DIR from the path. However the paths in meson-info/intro-targets.json contain the realpath, not the symlink path.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use a symlink for /var/tmp/portage
2. Compile package
 

Actual Results:  
Fails calling ninja with the symlink path in front of the real filename

Instead of using a symlink for /var/tmp/portage, I would suggest setting PORTAGE_TMPDIR in make.conf.

I guess same as bug #805020 but hadn't gotten a confirmation.

At the time, I was configuring several directories to be off the sdcard and it was the easiest to just keep them all the same style.

Didn't actually realize that was the issue until I'd debugged it all.

It's worked fine for several years but you're right, I probably should do it the correct way.

Looks similar. 

I'd searched for 'gstreamer' & 'gst-plugins-opus' but didn't find any matches. Sorry about that.

Comment 6 Jim Beckner 2021-10-20 10:12:30 UTC

I just confirmed what was suggested in bug 805020. /var/tmp/portage being a symlink was causing the issue.
