During the "make install" step, the build errors out with the following: cd /home/jacob/src/pure-data/packages/linux_make/build//usr/lib/pd-extended/startup && \ ln -s ../extra/libdir/ libdir cd /home/jacob/src/pure-data/packages/linux_make/build//usr/lib/pd-extended/startup && \ ln -s ../extra/pdlua/ pdlua ln: creating symbolic link `pdlua/pdlua': File exists make[1]: *** [pd_install] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/jacob/src/pure-data/packages' make: *** [install] Error 2 I think the problem is that the build previously failed for some other reason, and now the pd_install target at packages/Makefile tries to create a symbolic link that already exists. The workaround is to delete the links in build/usr/lib/pd-extended/startup. One fix for this would be to pass -f to those ln commands. I'm not sure if there's a more proper way; for instance, I don't think "install" creates symbolic links. I've attached that fix as a patch. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Hans-Christoph Steiner (eighthave) Date: 2011-09-25 16:22 Message: makes sense to me, I accepted it with this commit and changed a few more: http://pure-data.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/pure-data?view=revision&revision=15344 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=478072&aid=3413815&group_id=55736 _______________________________________________ Pd-dev mailing list Pd-dev@iem.at http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-dev
