Re: [Ltib] Texinfo build / troubles with rpm database?

[Franz Trierweiler]

Hi Stuart,

Here is  more detailed extract of the log file:

Processing: flex
==================

Processing: texinfo
=====================
Build path taken because: directory build, no prebuilt rpm,

Cowardly refusing to clobber existing directory:
 /opt/freescale/ltib/usr/src/rpm/BUILD/texinfo-4.8
Remove this by hand if you really want to rebuild this package from  
scratch

Died at ./ltib line 1380.
traceback:
 main::build_host_rpms:1380
  main::host_checks:1435
   main:542


Started: Tue Dec  1 23:33:09 2009
Ended:   Tue Dec  1 23:42:09 2009
Elapsed: 540 seconds

These packages failed to build:
texinfo

Build Failed


Since the message said that LTIB refused to "clobber existing  
directory" then I removed by hand the texinfo directory in /opt/ 
freescale/ltib/usr/src/rpm/BUILD:

address@hidden:/opt/freescale/ltib/usr/src/rpm/BUILD$ rm -r  
texinfo-4.8/

I also removed the bz2 link file in the SOURCE directory and the tex  
bz2 and md5 files as well, in /opt/freescale/pkgs.

Then I simply relaunched ./ltib and waited a few minutes.

Here is now what I get:

....
Build time for rpm-fs: 3 seconds

I am really surprised of reading "/reescale" instead of "/freescale"  
and do not understand why LTID is dealing with rpm-fs-4.0.4-1.i686.rpm !

Well, I am now thinking of throwing away my Ubuntu 09.10 virtual  
machine in order to install a 09.04 back on my Mac since the LTIB  
environment provided by PDK 1.6 works fine on my PC laptop.

I just hope all these feedback will help you improve LTIB so that it  
can work on the newest Ubuntu release.

Thanks again for you help.
Franz
