#45269: crossbinutils @ 1.0 0-byte manpages ---------------------------------+-------------------------------- Reporter: matthieu.mallet@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.3.1 Keywords: crossbuild binutils | Port: arm-elf-binutils ---------------------------------+-------------------------------- I am about to submit my first ports but I've noticed that for one of them, a cross build of binutils, the manpages are 0-bytes files (few bytes when their got gzipped). {{{ ll /opt/local/share/man/man1/arm-elf-* -r--r--r--+ 1 root admin 40B Nov 19 2013 /opt/local/share/man/man1 /arm-elf-addr2line.1.gz -r--r--r--+ 1 root admin 33B Nov 19 2013 /opt/local/share/man/man1 /arm-elf-ar.1.gz -r--r--r--+ 1 root admin 33B Nov 19 2013 /opt/local/share/man/man1 /arm-elf-as.1.gz -r--r--r--+ 1 root admin 38B Nov 19 2013 /opt/local/share/man/man1 /arm-elf-c++filt.1.gz ... }}} In the port's build directory, when I look at the manpages file size, I get the following (sh-elf-binutils is the port I am working on, ): {{{ /opt/local/var/macports/build/_devel_ports_cross_sh-elf-binutils/sh-elf- binutils/work$ find . -iname "*.1" | xargs ls -ali 15648159 -rw-r--r--+ 1 macports wheel 10470 Mar 25 2013 ./binutils-2.23.2/binutils/doc/addr2line.1 15648160 -rw-r--r--+ 1 macports wheel 18478 Mar 25 2013 ./binutils-2.23.2/binutils/doc/ar.1 ... 15667876 -rw-r--r--+ 1 macports wheel 0 Oct 6 19:44 ./build/binutils/doc/addr2line.1 15667877 -rw-r--r--+ 1 macports wheel 0 Oct 6 19:44 ./build/binutils/doc/ar.1 ... }}} It seems that there is something wrong when copying the manpages. Can someone point me out the thing that I may had not done correctly? (before I submit a fix I would rather be sure I just do not miss an option) By building binutils manually, I get manpages installed correctly though. How to reproduce: {{{ sudo port install arm-elf-binutils man arm-elf-ar fgets: No such file or directory Error reading man page /opt/local/share/man/man1/arm-elf-ar.1.gz No manual entry for arm-elf-ar }}} -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/45269> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
