Benjamin Bannier commented on MESOS-6851: ----------------------------------------- Is this really an issue? We currently maintain {{uninstall}} targets which would remove these files so that the following sequence should be supported, {code} make install make uninstall make install {code} I am pretty sure we do not claim to support installing over an existing installation, e.g., installing {{mesos-1.1.0}} over an existing {{mesos-0.10.0}} without explicit uninstall of 0.10.0 almost certainly would lead to the prefix containing files not part of 1.1.0 and a broken installation. Note that this behavior change was introduced when we moved the install to use automake's symbolic {{LN_S}} (which often evaluates to {{ln -s}}) instead of a naked {{ln -sf}} [here|https://github.com/apache/mesos/blame/f89f28724f5837ff414dc6cc84e1afb63f3306e5/src/Makefile.am#L2449-L2450]. {{LN_S}} might evaluate to e.g., {{cp}} on platforms or filesystems not supporting soft links. > make install fails the second time > ---------------------------------- > > Key: MESOS-6851 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MESOS-6851 > Project: Mesos > Issue Type: Bug > Components: build > Reporter: James Peach > > Run {{make install}} twice and the second time will fail when it tries to > overwrite symlinks: > {code} > make[4]: Entering directory '/home/jpeach/upstream/mesos/build/src' > cd //opt/mesos/etc/mesos && \ > ln -s mesos-agent-env.sh.template mesos-slave-env.sh.template > ln: failed to create symbolic link 'mesos-slave-env.sh.template': File exists > Makefile:12952: recipe for target 'copy-template-and-create-symlink' failed > make[4]: *** [copy-template-and-create-symlink] Error 1 > make[4]: Leaving directory '/home/jpeach/upstream/mesos/build/src' > Makefile:12487: recipe for target 'install-data-am' failed > make[3]: *** [install-data-am] Error 2 > make[3]: Leaving directory '/home/jpeach/upstream/mesos/build/src' > Makefile:12197: recipe for target 'install-am' failed > make[2]: *** [install-am] Error 2 > make[2]: Leaving directory '/home/jpeach/upstream/mesos/build/src' > Makefile:12191: recipe for target 'install' failed > make[1]: *** [install] Error 2 > make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/jpeach/upstream/mesos/build/src' > Makefile:764: recipe for target 'install-recursive' failed > make: *** [install-recursive] Error 1 > {code} -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
