Bug 835733 – sys-apps/dtc: install libfdt python bindings

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description LABBE Corentin 2022-03-21 11:03:04 UTC]

The dtc sources contains python bindings that could be installed.
They are necessary for working on dt-schema for Linux development.

The emake command should have:
NO_PYTHON=$(usex !python 1 0)
instead of just NO_PYTHON=1

But Makefile check for python3 pkg_config which do not exists (gentoo use python-3.x)

Fixing that lead to another error I fail to fix.


Reproducible: Always

error: can't create or remove files in install directory

The following error occurred while trying to add or remove files in the
installation directory:

    [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/usr/lib/python3.9/site-packages/test-easy-install-121.write-test'

The installation directory you specified (via --install-dir, --prefix, or
the distutils default setting) was:

    /usr/lib/python3.9/site-packages/

Perhaps your account does not have write access to this directory?  If the
installation directory is a system-owned directory, you may need to sign in
as the administrator or "root" account.  If you do not have administrative
access to this machine, you may wish to choose a different installation
directory, preferably one that is listed in your PYTHONPATH environment
variable.

For information on other options, you may wish to consult the
documentation at:

Please make the appropriate changes for your system and try again.

I succeed to support it
https://github.com/montjoie/gentoo/commit/31d60db3761a09e34c76514fe166d7fc00b5b7ae
but the workaround for pkg-config is not pretty.
Any advice ?

I'll take a look.

    I test with a git repo in WORKDIR so I didn't hit this myself before.
