Description John Baldwin freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2005-01-18 17:50:32 UTC
The pre-install and post-install targets are not run with elevated privileges, so the mkdir commands in the pre-install target fail when trying to install as non-root (in other words, su seems to only be applied for do-install)

Fix: Change the automake ports to use the pre-su-install and post-su-install targets rather than pre-install and post-install.  Example change for automake19:



-pre-install:
+pre-su-install:
        @${RM} -fr ${PREFIX}/share/automake${BUILD_VERSION}
        @${MKDIR} ${PREFIX}/share/automake${BUILD_VERSION}
        @${MKDIR} ${PREFIX}/share/aclocal${BUILD_VERSION}
        @${MKDIR} ${PREFIX}/libexec/automake${BUILD_VERSION}

-post-install:
+post-su-install:
 .for i in aclocal automake
        @${LN} -sf ${PREFIX}/bin/${i}${BUILD_VERSION} \
                ${PREFIX}/libexec/automake${BUILD_VERSION}/${i}

Note that all automake ports seem affected however.--gKdLU1rSCEgAhpodCom9rSQK7XWL8JwiGBjeByjEyTVqccKM

How-To-Repeat: Run 'make install' for one of the devel/automake* ports

Return to the fold after releasing autotools back into the wild.

From-To: open->closed

Committed, thanks! 

Note that we only need pre-su-install.  There is no post-su-install as 
once we've su'ed the privilege is retained for the rest of the install 
step (and do-install always causes this to happen at least at that point).
