Summary: File expected to be at /usr/bin/file, isn't on ChromeOS Project: Autoconf Submitted by: None Submitted on: Sat 16 Oct 2021 06:59:02 PM UTC Category: None Priority: 5 - Normal Severity: 3 - Normal Status: None Privacy: Public Assigned to: None Originator Email: Open/Closed: Open Discussion Lock: Any Operating System: GNU/Linux _______________________________________________________ Details: I'm a developer for Chromebrew <https://github.com/skycocker/chromebrew>, a package manager for ChromeOS. We've had a problem with most all configure scripts: `file` is expected at `/usr/bin/file`, but ChromeOS doesn't ship with `file`, so we have to provide it at `/usr/local/bin/file`. `./configure` scripts generated with `autoconf` are unaware of this and, instead of looking for the location of `file`, raise an error: ./configure: line 6712: /usr/bin/file: No such file or directory This particular error is an example from the latest version of `libsigsegv` As I've never reported a bug of this type, I don't know what other information would be helpful (logs, etc.), so please don't hesitate to let me know. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <https://savannah.gnu.org/support/?110549> _______________________________________________ Message sent via Savannah https://savannah.gnu.org/
