Re: something: DESTDIR is not a user settable variable

2004-10-27 Thread Olivier Gautherot

What's in your make.conf file?  [Not DESTDIR, is it?]

 

Hi Gilbert!
No, it is not defined there. The funny bit in this story is that it does 
not always happen and the same package may work in one shell  and fail 
in another one... Weird...
   

...in a shell where you have defined DESTDIR? ;-)

If I did, I swear I did not do it on purpose ;-)
If my fix is to open a new shell, it's easy enough.
Thanks for your help

Re: something: DESTDIR is not a user settable variable

2004-10-26 Thread Olivier Gautherot

I'm hitting regularly the same problem with various ports that deinstall
properly during upgrades but won't reinstall. I had the case with firefox
this morning.
The typical message is:
   bash-2.05b$ sudo make install clean
   firefox-1.0.1.p_4: DESTDIR is not a user settable variable
   *** Error code 1
Can anyone tell me where the message is coming from and how to
overcome it? I've tried to grep user settable but did not find it...
For what it's worth, here is my uname -a:
   FreeBSD ogautherot.og-lan.freesurf.fr 5.2.1-RELEASE
   FreeBSD 5.2.1-RELEASE #0: Mon Jul  5 19:32:44 CEST 2004

I guess I'll wait for the problem to occur again, run a printenv and 
compare it with a shell that does work.

Thanks for the tip anyway!
Cheers
