Description Andrei Slavoiu 2009-03-03 21:25:37 UTC
ROOT=/usr/armv4tl-softfloat-linux-gnueabi emerge -p =x11-libs/libxcb-1.1 tries to install xcb-proto into ROOT=/

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:




It looks like this happens for any dependency of type ~atom or <atom, for example it also happens for libXrender and renderproto, dependencies of xorg-server/xorg-server-1.3.0.0-r6.

This is the intended behavior:

DEPEND goes to ROOT=/
RDEPEND/PDEPEND goes to ROOT=/usr/armv4tl-softfloat-linux-gnueabi

This behavior is necessary because otherwise emerge would not be able to satisfy buildtime dependencies. In bug 201499 we are planning to extend dependency syntax in order to to provide finer granularity for cross-compiling.

As a short-term workaround for current limitations in dependency syntax, there's been some discussion about adding options which will allow you to change the way that the dependencies are interpreted. For example, you might do something like --host-deps=none --target-deps=build,run in order to change the behavior so that DEPEND is installed to ROOT=/usr/armv4tl-softfloat-linux-gnueabi instead of ROOT=/.
