smlnj fails to build on OS X 10.11.3 #49524

Closed wolverian closed 8 years ago

The bottle for this formula works, but I can't build the formula without using the bottle. The error is:

config/install.sh: Installation complete.
Error: No such file or directory - /private/tmp/smlnj20160225-17436-x4a0tz/config

The error happens after the formula is complete, in some cleanup code inside Homebrew. I suspect this weird bit of code in the formula causes something to go very wrong:

    # Build in place
    root = prefix/"SMLNJ_HOME"
    cd ".."
    root.install "config"
    cd root

I tried to run brew gist-logs smlnj, but got an error:

$ brew gist-logs smlnj
Error: HTTP 404 Not Found (expected 201)

Why I'm trying to build the formula: I'm trying to upgrade the formula to smlnj's newest version. I encountered this problem after doing the upgrade edit in the formula, and then realized it happens with the current version too.

The issue is that the build directory is moved under the prefix but at the end of the installation we try to find the usual metafiles (e.g. README/LICENSE) in the build directory. It doesn’t exist anymore (because we moved it), hence the failure. #49530 should fix that.

Closing in favour of #49530.
