emerge fails after mythtv r25900

[Miwer]

After removing bindings/perl/perl.pro, emerge fails when trying to patch that file. You need to remove the following lines from the mythtv ebuild:

    # Perl bits need to go into vender_perl and not site_perl
    sed -e "s:pure_install:pure_install INSTALLDIRS=vendor:" \
            -i "${S}"/bindings/perl/perl.pro

Which version removed perl.pro? I havent seen this one yet and I am using perl bindings.

[MarcT]

Never mind, I found it. Its VERY recent.

[MarcT]

You sure we want to remove it and not change it to work on the new Makefile?

[Miwer]

Well no. Better not change it yet - I'm testing it now (it's building as I'm writing this), so I'll see what happens, and will write again afterwards.

[MarcT]

Ok, just tell me. The original command changes perl_install.commands = $(MAKE) -f Makefile.perl pure_install PERL_INSTALL_ROOT=\"$(INSTALL_ROOT)\" PREFIX=$${PREFIX} to perl_install.commands = $(MAKE) -f Makefile.perl pure_install INSTALLDIRS=vendor: PERL_INSTALL_ROOT=\"$(INSTALL_ROOT)\" PREFIX=$${PREFIX}

The new Makefile has a similar line $(MAKE) -f Makefile.perl pure_install $(ROOT_FLAGS) PREFIX="$(PREFIX)" I belive we would want to make the same change.

[Miwer]

Yup - I came to the same conclusion, after taking a closer look at it - I stopped my build, changed the ebuild (only changed the filename now), and it's building again. Will post back.

[Miwer]

Ok - looks like it is working... perl extensions are still installed in vendor_perl and not site_perl. so the only thing needed would be changing the filename perl.pro into Makefile

fixed in r112
