Using x11-wm/fluxbox-9999.ebuild to install the very last version of git, the fluxbox-generate_menu step fails with "permission denied" error message. I managed to solve it by adding "chmod 744 "${S}/util/fluxbox-generate_menu" in the src_compile() step, but I'm now having these errors (non critical, the compilation still finishes and I can start fluxbox without a problem): /var/tmp/portage/x11-wm/fluxbox-9999/work/fluxbox-9999/util/fluxbox-generate_menu: line 1423: hash: fluxbox@EXEEXT@: not found /var/tmp/portage/x11-wm/fluxbox-9999/work/fluxbox-9999/util/fluxbox-generate_menu: line 334: printf: `U': invalid format character convert: iCCP: Not recognizing known sRGB profile that has been edited `/usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/apps/virtualbox-bin.png' @ warning/png.c/MagickPNGWarningHandler/1832. /var/tmp/portage/x11-wm/fluxbox-9999/work/fluxbox-9999/util/fluxbox-generate_menu: line 334: printf: `U': invalid format character /var/tmp/portage/x11-wm/fluxbox-9999/work/fluxbox-9999/util/fluxbox-generate_menu: line 334: printf: `U': invalid format character /var/tmp/portage/x11-wm/fluxbox-9999/work/fluxbox-9999/util/fluxbox-generate_menu: line 334: printf: `U': invalid format character /var/tmp/portage/x11-wm/fluxbox-9999/work/fluxbox-9999/util/fluxbox-generate_menu: line 334: printf: `U': invalid format character /var/tmp/portage/x11-wm/fluxbox-9999/work/fluxbox-9999/util/fluxbox-generate_menu: line 334: printf: `U': invalid format character /var/tmp/portage/x11-wm/fluxbox-9999/work/fluxbox-9999/util/fluxbox-generate_menu: line 334: printf: `U': invalid format character I can provide more info if needed.
I meant "chmod 744 "${S}/util/fluxbox-generate_menu"", of course.

Created attachment 376780 [details, diff] ebuild patch to properly install generated menu
I examined Fluxbox's build process and determined that the permissions of fluxbox-generate_menu.in (and friend, startfluxbox) start out executable, but post-compile, pre-install lose their executable bit. So if menu generation is to happen in src_compile, fluxbox-generate_menu needs either the execution bit, or to be ran as an argument to a `bash` call. I juggled with the idea of putting menu generation in pkg_postinst() or src_install(), but src_compile() seemed the most Gentoo-ish way to do so. fluxbox-generate_menu produces a file, so producing an additional file outside of src_install seemed unclean. Additionally, I noticed that nothing was being done with the generated menu. i.e. it wasn't appearing in /usr/share/fluxbox where it belonged. I've attached a unified diffpatch (diff -u) of my changes. Calling fluxbox-generate_menu through `bash` instead of chmodding is shorter, though it may be less obvious *why* it's being done. I added a comment to clarify the situation. My apologies for taking so long to address this.
