#40814: cmake configure faulure (subdirectories with symlinks?) -------------------------+------------------- Reporter: rharwood@… | Owner: css@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.2.0 Resolution: | Keywords: Port: cmake | -------------------------+------------------- Comment (by rharwood@…): Replying to [comment:3 ryandesign@…]:
I don't know why the symlinked portion of the path seems to be repeated multiple times there. But I do recall that configuring MacPorts with a prefix that contains symlinks causes problems. So you should configure the MacPorts prefix to be the correct real resolved path on disk. So if the prefix should be a folder "robbie" in a folder "NetUsers" on a secondary drive called "ServerDrive" then configure MacPorts with "`--prefix=/Volumes/ServerDrive/NetUsers/robbie`". If ServerDrive is the primary drive, i.e. "/", then configure with "`--prefix=/NetUsers/robbie`".
I don't know why either, but it's fairly consistent about showing up multiple times between different ports. At a guess, it's because my home directory is set to include the symlink because that is how OSX Server sets things up. This machine is in-use, so rebuilding macports and everything that it has installed is not an option. This symlink has not caused problems in the past (with the exception of https://trac.macports.org/ticket/39864 which was fixed), so I believe this is a soluble problem. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/40814#comment:4> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
