Hello

I am trying to install postfix on my rpi3. I have tried different versions (3.1.6, 3.2.4, 3.3.0) , all with the same result.

Compilation seems to work but it fails during installation (postfix-install):
Code:

postfix-install: Error: "" should be "no" or an absolute path name.
 * ERROR: mail-mta/postfix-3.3.0::gentoo failed (install phase):
 *   postfix-install failed
 *
 * Call stack:
 *     ebuild.sh, line 124:  Called src_install
 *   environment, line 2927:  Called die
 * The specific snippet of code:
 *       LD_LIBRARY_PATH="${S}/lib" /bin/sh postfix-install -non-interactive install_root="${D}" config_directory="/etc/postfix" manpage_directory="/usr/share/man" command_directory="/usr/sbin" mailq_path="/usr/bin/mailq" newaliases_path="/usr/bin/newaliases" sendmail_path="/usr/sbin/sendmail" ${myconf} || die "postfix-install failed";


something is wrong with the install script. However I can't figure it out what Error: "" relates to ;/

laizzn,

The error is somewhere above your log snippit. Please put the whole build log onte a pastebin site.
wgetpaste can help.

Code:
postfix-install: Error: "" should be "no" or an absolute path name.

Reads as if that empty string should have something in it.

A Pi3 can run a 32 bit install or a 64 bit install. We may need to know which.
It will be in your build log.

hi, thanks for you reply.

here is the (build-) log: https://hastebin.com/ajohomiqup.tex

for me everything looked fine, but I am quite a noob :) No idea what that empty string could be....

it's a 64bit system:

Code:

Portage 2.3.19 (python 3.5.4-final-0, default/linux/arm64/17.0/desktop, gcc-6.4.0, glibc-2.26-r6, 4.10.17-v8-9411792647f6+ aarch64)
=================================================================
System uname: Linux-4.10.17-v8-9411792647f6+-aarch64-with-gentoo-2.4.1
ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="arm64 ~arm64"
ACCEPT_LICENSE="@FREE CC-Sampling-Plus-1.0"
CBUILD="aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu"
CFLAGS="-march=armv8-a+crc -mtune=cortex-a53 -ftree-vectorize -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer"
CHOST="aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu"

laizzn,

It built for me both with my USE flags and yours.
A few points to note. I used
    gcc-7.3
    the gold linker
    no distcc


Something to try, to coax it to complete. Run
Code:
ebuild /full/path/to/.ebuild merge
This is attempting to run the emerge phases directly.
It will build on what is already in /var/tmp/portage.
As your compile completed, it will retry the install, using the existing compile.

If all else fails, the binary, built with your USE flags, is in my arm64 binhost
emerge can install that directly.

@NeddySeagoon
Thank you. I will check it out.

Is the goldliner any good? Is there a howto for installation?

laizzn,

The gold linker is still experimental. There are still a few packages that don't link.

If you want to play with it see the Wiki.
