#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 | -------------------------+------------------- Changes (by ryandesign@…): * cc: css@… (removed) * cc: ryandesign@… (added) * owner: macports-tickets@… => css@… Comment: Well I'm glad you didn't anonymize this portion of the log because it's undoubtedly part of the problem, given this error in the log: {{{ :info:configure directory :info:configure "/Network/Servers/osxserver.b-aassoc.edu/Network/Servers/osxserver.b-aassoc.edu/Network/Servers/osxserver.b-aassoc.edu/Network/Servers/osxserver.b-aassoc.edu/Volumes/ServerDrive/NetUsers/robbie/var/macports/build/_Volumes_ServerDrive_NetUsers_robbie_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_devel_cmake/cmake/work/cmake-2.8.12/Utilities/KWIML" :info:configure is not a subdirectory of :info:configure "/Network/Servers/osxserver.b-aassoc.edu/Network/Servers/osxserver.b-aassoc.edu/Network/Servers/osxserver.b-aassoc.edu/Volumes/ServerDrive/NetUsers/robbie/var/macports/build/_Volumes_ServerDrive_NetUsers_robbie_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_devel_cmake/cmake/work/cmake-2.8.12". }}} 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`". -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/40814#comment:3> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
