Console output

Is it possible, that I cannot merge the "linux-headers" package, if I build my kernel in a separate build directory with a unprivileged user?

Have I to add the build directory to a special list of directories portage could write to?
Why must portage write to that directory?

The console output (and logs) will be attached.

The latest kernel was build with using this build directory:
/home/maggu2810/workspace/build/gentoo-sources-3.5.0

post `emerge --info --verbose` as an attachment

i'm guessing you're setting $O or $KBUILD_OUTPUT or something ?

Comment 6 Markus Rathgeb 2012-11-22 07:13:08 UTC
Yes, ATM I set the KBUILD_OUTPUT environment variable to the directory that contains my build directory through the portage bashrc stuff.

/etc/portage/bashrc:export KBUILD_OUTPUT="/home/maggu2810/workspace/build/$(readlink /usr/src/linux)"

This is necessary to build modules.
Is this forbidden for the linux-headers?
Comment 7 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2012-11-22 16:48:36 UTC
(In reply to comment #6)

bashrc gets re-sourced multiple times.  the eclass already unsets it, but that works if you set KBUILD_OUTPUT via make.conf (which is the expectation).  i don't think setting it vai bashrc is supported.
Comment 8 Markus Rathgeb 2012-11-22 20:07:52 UTC
export KBUILD_OUTPUT="/home/maggu2810/workspace/build/$(readlink /usr/src/linux)"

I am using the bashrc because I could use the 'readlink /usr/src/linux' stuff, so I could update the kernel and build it to the correspondent build directory (for the version) without editing make.conf again etc.

I am right, that there is no way to execute commands while make.conf is sourced?

Could you give me a hint how I could easily manage that?
Comment 9 Markus Rathgeb 2012-11-22 21:19:07 UTC
Okay, I will set the following line in my make.conf and do not use /usr/src/linux anymore. Instead of that linux in my build directory will be a symbolic link to the current build directory.

KBUILD_OUTPUT="/home/maggu2810/workspace/build/linux"

Thanks for your help!
Comment 10 Markus Rathgeb 2012-11-22 21:50:21 UTC
So, could we close this bug with the following notes?

Setting KBUILD_OUTPUT via /etc/portage/bashrc breaks sys-kernel/linux-headers.

Setting KBUILD_OUTPUT via /etc/portage/bashrc is not supported.
Comment 11 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2012-11-23 04:59:46 UTC
(In reply to comment #10)

well, this isn't specific to linux-headers.  there are a lot of ebuilds that assume the environment between phases won't be messed with.  bashrc violates that assumption which means it's up to users to make sure they are careful in what they do.  if something breaks, then generally it's up to the user to pick up the pieces.

you might still be able to use bashrc, but instead put it in a func like:
pre_src_unpack() { export KBUILD_OUTPUT=...; }
Comment 12 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2014-04-07 21:59:57 UTC
does my suggestion in comment #11 help ?
Comment 13 Markus Rathgeb 2014-04-08 09:13:25 UTC
I stopped using KBUILD_OUTPUT at all.
Should I test the comment #11?
Comment 14 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2015-08-14 06:11:34 UTC
(In reply to Markus Rathgeb from comment #13)

up to you.  i don't think there's anything that needs to be changed in the eclasses or ebuilds as the use of bashrc violates guarantees provided by the spec.
Comment 15 Markus Rathgeb 2015-08-14 08:35:30 UTC
So, let's close this issue.
What is the resolution? Invalid?
