Category: Compilation Group: other bug / workaround >Status: Open Resolution: Invalid Priority: 2 Private: No Submitted By: Giuseppe Iuculano (derevko) Assigned to: Sean Morrison (brlcad) Summary: MGED unable to initialize gui when --program-prefix= is used Initial Comment: Hello, I used --program-prefix=brl- , no compilation error, but: $ brl-mged invalid command name "gui" MGED unable to initialize gui, reverting to classic mode. attach (nu|X|ogl)[nu]? If I remove the --program-prefix from ./configure I haven't this issue. Giuseppe. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Giuseppe Iuculano (derevko) Date: 2008-09-30 10:35 Message: Yes, it's merely for isolation. I can install in /var/lib/brlcad , but I have also a couple of man pages that I can't isolate due to Debian policy. For example: # dpkg -i brlcad_7.12.6-1_i386.deb Selecting previously deselected package brlcad. (Reading database ... 171137 files and directories currently installed.) Unpacking brlcad (from brlcad_7.12.6-1_i386.deb) ... dpkg: error processing brlcad_7.12.6-1_i386.deb (--install): trying to overwrite `/usr/share/man/man1/buffer.1.gz', which is also in package buffer dpkg-deb: subprocess paste killed by signal (Broken pipe) Errors were encountered while processing: brlcad_7.12.6-1_i386.deb ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Sean Morrison (brlcad) Date: 2008-09-30 10:19 Message: Hmm, that's certainly an untested configuration setting and one I would not recommend using regardless. That effectively changes the names of hundreds of binaries and makes them inconsistent with our extensive documentation. That will ultimately be a support burden to document as a special case, to explain to new users, and is inconsistent with all other platforms. We could investigate the cause, but that doesn't seem like a productive use of time. Is there a particular reason you needed to use program-prefix? If it's merely for isolation, I would suggest installing to subdirs before resorting to program-prefix. Cheers!
