Description Stefan Sperling 2008-03-30 20:00:01 UTC
While reinstalling all my ports after upgrading from 6.3 to 7.0,
I noticed that I suddenly had two symlinks in my home
directory called gv.pm and gv.so:

/home/stsp/gv.pm -> /usr/local/lib/graphviz/perl/gv.pm
/home/stsp/gv.so -> /usr/local/lib/graphviz/perl/libgv_perl.so

Fix: 

Looking at /usr/obj/usr/ports/graphics/graphviz/work/graphviz-2.18/tclpkg/Makefile,
it seems like the section creating these links can be safely
patched out (see below). Note that most of it is already commented, anyway.

I have no idea why DESTDIR isn't set while the port runs
'make install' -- in the make error above you can see that DESTDIR
is empty. This is probably what made the symlinks end up in my home
directory.

This is the relevant section of the Makefile.
It should be commented out or removed altogether.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
# Installation of softlinks into non-owned directories is done as a

----------------------------------------------------------------------
How-To-Repeat: 
Note that I build ports as normal user, with
SU_CMD=/home/stsp/bin/sucmd.sh
That script contains:

----------------------------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/sh

if [ -x /usr/local/bin/sudo ]
then
	/usr/local/bin/sudo /bin/sh -c "$*"
else
	/usr/bin/su root -c "$*"
fi
----------------------------------------------------------------------

I also use WRKDIRPREFIX=/usr/obj

To find out why the links were created I made them immutable:

$ ls -lo ~/gv*
lr-xr-xr-x  1 root  stsp  schg 34 Mar 30 20:18 /home/stsp/gv.pm -> /usr/local/lib/graphviz/perl/gv.pm
lr-xr-xr-x  1 root  stsp  schg 42 Mar 30 20:18 /home/stsp/gv.so -> /usr/local/lib/graphviz/perl/libgv_perl.so

and ran 'make deinstall reinstall' in the port's directory.

Then I got this:

----------------------------------------------------------------------
gmake[4]: Entering directory `/usr/obj/usr/ports/graphics/graphviz/work/graphviz-2.18/tclpkg'
mkdir -p ;
usage: mkdir [-pv] [-m mode] directory_name ...
gmake[4]: [install-data-hook] Error 64 (ignored)
if test -w ; then \
		(cd ; \
			ln -s -f /usr/local/lib/graphviz/perl/libgv_perl.so gv.s
o; \
			ln -s -f /usr/local/lib/graphviz/perl/gv.pm gv.pm;) \
	else \
		echo "Warning:  is not writable."; \
		echo "Skipping system installation of perl binding."; \
	fi
ln: gv.so: Operation not permitted
ln: gv.pm: Operation not permitted
gmake[4]: *** [install-data-hook] Error 1
----------------------------------------------------------------------

This happens even if TCL support is disabled.
This is the configuration I set for this port:

----------------------------------------------------------------------
===> The following configuration options are available for graphviz-2.18:
     ICONV=on "Build with ICONV support"
     XPM=on "Build with XPM support"
     DIGCOLA=off "DIGCOLA features in neato layout engine"
     IPSEPCOLA=off "IPSEPCOLA features in neato layout engine"
     NLS=on "Build with gettext support"
     TK=off "Build with TK support"
     PANGOCAIRO=on "build with pangocairo support"
     GTK=on "build with gtk plugin"
     GDK_PIXBUF=on "build with gdk pixbuf support"
     GNOMEUI=off "build with libgnomeui support"
     MING=off "Build with ming plugin"
     PERL=off "Perl bindings (swig)"
     PHP=off "PHP bindings (swig)"
     PYTHON=off "Python bindings (swig)"
     RUBY=off "Ruby bindings (swig)"
     LUA=off "Lua bindings (swig)"

===> Use 'make config' to modify these settings

You must have WITH_PERL in /etc/make.conf 
or selected in your "make config." 

I am testing a patch to fix the perl path problem.
