Hi everyone,
This seems to be more a dev than a user question so I'm posting here. If
there is
somewhere else I should post, please let me know and I apologize for wasting
your time.
First, new to gentoo. To be up front, in the past I did have a funtoo
install. But that
was a while back.
Currently working with the zsh(z-shell) group and was trying to build zsh
from the git
repository source, but immediately ran into the issue of not being able to
build zsh docs.
The source for zsh docs are yodl files, so app-text/yodl is required to
create all
documentation.
Yet when I built zsh from the gentoo packages, it was built without errors.
After some
digging I found that the zsh package includes already built documentation.
So the
documentation is not being created during the ebuild itself. The
documentation must
be being built somewhere!
In searching the mail archives the only thing I found were some 'dated'
emails indicating,
at the time there was no maintainer for yodl.
Is this the proper place to report this issue? If so I can send attachment
of the log and
other informat as indicated during the failure. The error output is:
Fatal: system - failure of system call (status 256)
* ERROR: app-text/yodl-4.05.00::gentoo failed (compile phase):
* programs failed
*
* Call stack:
* ebuild.sh, line 136: Called src_compile
* environment, line 878: Called die
* The specific snippet of code:
* AR=$(tc-getAR) RANLIB=$(tc-getRANLIB) ./build ${target} || die
"${target} failed";
GENTOO: VERSION_ID="2.17"
If someone could point me in the right direction if there was some
documentation I failed
to read and follow it would be appreciated. Otherwise I can supply whatever
logs and
other info that may be required.
Thank you in advance for any help you can give me.
Regards,
Jim Murphy
