Hi,
ntfs-3g checks for /sbin/ldconfig during the "configure" step and runs it
during the "make install" check.
This is mostly fine, but it breaks non-root builds. Non-root builds are
performed e.g. while building RPMs. What RPM packagers typically do is
./configure
make
make install DESTDIR=/var/tmp/some_temporary_buildroot
This "redirects" all files from / to $(DESTDIR) and has to work without root
privileges. The problem with ntfs-3g is that the /sbin/ldconfig call doesn't
work without root privileges.
I will attach two different patches with the following rationale:
- The first one simply ignores errors from ldconfig. ldconfig is an optional
step that doesn't need to break the build.
- The second one skips ldconfig if DESTDIR is non-empty. Running ldconfig
doesn't make any sense if the package was not installed into the real root.
Just one of these patches is necessary, pick what looks more logical to you.
