Using ebuild patch with an ebuild for brlcad in overlay

[jevidl]

I would like to try brlcad, but currently the only ebuilds are in bugs.gentoo.org.

I checked out how to use an ebuild in overlay, but I am having a terrible time getting the patch to be picked up. I can't figure out where the doggone thing needs to go. Whenever I run

Code: Select all

 ebuild /usr/local/portage-bugs/sci-misc/brlcad/brlcad-7.4.2.ebuild unpack

I get the following error:

Code: Select all

>>> Unpacking brlcad-7.4.2.tar.bz2 to /var/tmp/portage/brlcad-7.4.2/work

 * Cannot find $EPATCH_SOURCE!  Value for $EPATCH_SOURCE is:
 *
 *   /usr/local/portage-bugs/sci-misc/brlcad/files/brlcad-7.4.2-gentoo.diff
 *   ( brlcad-7.4.2-gentoo.diff )


!!! ERROR: sci-misc/brlcad-7.4.2 failed.
!!! Function epatch, Line 219, Exitcode 0
!!! Cannot find $EPATCH_SOURCE!
!!! If you need support, post the topmost build error, NOT this status message.

As far as I can tell, this is the relevant part of the ebuild:

Code: Select all

src_unpack() {
    unpack ${A}
    cd ${S}
    epatch ${FILESDIR}/${PF}-gentoo.diff
    # We must rebuild ./configure, becouse the patch modifies configure.ac.
    rm configure
    autoconf
    cd ${S}

}

Any help on getting past this would be appreciated.

epatch ${FILESDIR}/${PF}-gentoo.diff

It sounds like you haven't put that file (i.e. "brlcad-7.4.2-gentoo.diff") in the "files" subdirectory of the ebuild.

I had tried that, but when I do I get the following:

Code: Select all

ebuild /usr/local/portage-bugs/sci-misc/brlcad/brlcad-7.4.2.ebuild unpack
!!! Security Violation: A file exists that is not in the manifest.
!!! File: files/brlcad-7.4.2-gentoo.diff

I did find out that if I ran ebuild ... digest again, it would work.

If there's anything on using patches, other than "use the same layout as normal portage" I didn't see it in the 3rd party guide. I guess I wasn't familiar enough with portage to know that's how it is.

Thanks for the help.

It's a simplistic guide only. The really juicy info about ebuilds is in the links at the bottom of the guide. Read those, and look at some of the 10,000 examples in /usr/portage, and you'll be able to create brand-new ebuilds to submit to bugzilla.

ebuild /usr/local/portage-bugs/sci-misc/brlcad/brlcad-7.4.2.ebuild unpack
!!! Security Violation: A file exists that is not in the manifest.
!!! File: files/brlcad-7.4.2-gentoo.diff

that's because you need to add it to the manifest. Do:

Code: Select all

ebuild /usr/local/portage-bugs/sci-misc/brlcad/brlcad-7.4.2.ebuild digest

and you won't see that anymore. Then it should be ok.

Anyone managed to make 2.7.4 to work? I have tried a bit but as a total n00b I can't get the diff-file right...

Use the version of BRL-CAD I posted in Sep. http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=77197#c44
It's actually version v7.6.2 not v1.6.2 like I marked it

But don't follow those directions. Use these.

I will be assuming a few things like portage overlay directory location so change them if you need. I can't guarentee this will work for you but it works for me with gcc-3.4.4 on x86. The related use flags I run are -debug +java -optimize -pic -proengineer.

download version 7.6.2 from bugzilla (link above).
mkdir /usr/local/portage/sci-misc
tar -xzvf brlcad-1.6.2.tar.gz -C /usr/local/portage/sci-misc/
echo 'TCL_LIBRARY="/usr/lib/tcl8.4"' > /etc/env.d/50tcl
env-update; source /etc/profile
emerge --onlydeps -av brlcad
ln -s /usr/lib/itcl3.3/libitcl3.3.so /usr/lib/libitcl3.3.so
ln -s /usr/lib/libitcl3.3.so /usr/lib/libitcl.so
ln -s /usr/lib/itk3.3/libitk3.3.so /usr/lib/libitk3.3.so
ln -s /usr/lib/libitk3.3.so /usr/lib/libitk.so
emerge brlcad

Good luck.

Yay joey_knisch, works for me using gcc-3.4.4.

Just a minor point, but those of us who don't always live on the bleeding edge need;

Code: Select all

ACCEPT_KEYWORDS='~x86' emerge --onlydeps -av brlcad
.
.
.
ACCEPT_KEYWORDS='~x86' emerge brlcad 

The time has come to get this out of limbo and into portage. Is it possible to automate the directions above into the ebuild?

Don't do that. Add it to the /etc/portage/package.keywords. The ACCEPT_KEYWORDS way of doing it messes things up. It probably wouldn't do squat in this case since you most likely won't use those deps for anything else but I wouldn't mess with this method it will bork up your system.

I don't know if the gentoo standards and means commission likes it when you create a ton of symlinked files in the /usr/lib dir. However I wasn't about to mess around any more with my diff file ( not that good at this stuff). Anyway, some of these problems should go away in the next versions of brl-cad. They are moving some of the deps out of the brl-cad source.

I ran into that kind of crap when I made my ebuild for 7.6.2. I know this can be fixed with diffs as you said but I ended up making some symlinks to fix it. You can probably modify my stuff to make this work if nobody has posted anything more recent in bugs.

Sorry to ressurect dead threads, but I've tried emerging 7.6.6 and I get

Code: Select all

 * Applying brlcad-7.6.6-gentoo.diff ...                                  [ ok ]

!!! ERROR: sci-misc/brlcad-7.6.6 failed.
!!! Function econf, Line 498, Exitcode 1
!!! no configure script found
!!! If you need support, post the topmost build error, NOT this status message.

So then I tried 7.4.2 and got

Code: Select all

checking for Tk library functionality... yes
checking whether to build Tk... no
checking for incrTcl library functionality... no
configure: }}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}
configure: Try adding --enable-itcl-build
configure: error: *** incrTcl was disabled, yet no usable libitcl system library was found ***

Edit-NVM 7.2.4 works?

[lucapost]

On http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=77197#c44 I can oly download brlcad.7z, where I can find brlcad-7.10.0.ebuild?

.7z is an archive format created by 7zip, so you can find the ebuild inside that file

[lucapost]

That's ok

[lucapost]

But I have a little problem, brlcad not compile!
The p7zip file include emerge --info and build.log

help me!

[lucapost]

up!

[lucapost]

up again!
