Linuxbrew no longer uses a bottle when installing binutils #811

Closed andrewyatz closed 6 years ago

andrewyatz commented 6 years ago

Not sure if this has been raised before (please slap me down otherwise). Recently I have noticed that binutils attempts to recompile itself on my Linuxbrew installations. I do not install to the ~linuxbrew/.brew location and am using a non-standard root. However I am sure that binutils could be installed using a relocatable bottle.

Has anything changed recently in brew to stop this feature?

You can try brew install --force-bottle binutils

Hi. That does work and brew doesn't complain. However it's really odd that brew now chooses not to use the binutils bottle.

Yes, it's a known issue, Homebrew could be better at detecting whether bottles could be relocated.

Actually, binutils is a special case, check out https://github.com/Linuxbrew/brew/wiki/Build-a-portable-bottle
