 Posted: Sun May 12, 2024 12:40 am Post subject: sys-fs/btrfs-progs-9999 'm4' does not exist error |
 |
|
Hello, I have the problem that when trying to compile sys-fs/btrfs-progs-9999 it says that m4 does not exist, m4 is installed and even recompiling it does not solve the problem, I even updated portage with: | Code: | | sudo emerge --oneshot sys-apps/portage |
.
Even so, the error continues to persist and I don't know what it could be, and it's not the only problem I have, I also have problems with nano-9999, which is paused because it fails to run automake, but that's for another time.
I also want to update some packages to version 9999, knowing that it is not safe but my PC has enough power for gentoo.
Returning to the topic of btrfs-progs-9999, here is the build.log and information:

If you need me to upload something else just tell me, for example make.conf.
Also, if I have to do some steps to make the 9999 packages functional, tell me.
I will wait for answers, and I will respond in time.

I tried a direct access to /usr/local/bin/m4, but it didn't work, it still gives the same message

I appreciate that you are testing very unstable versions of software. That being said, I would read:
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Quality_Assurance/Autotools_failures
to get a better understanding of this:
| Code: | | AT_M4DIR="m4" eautoreconf |
Now if you really want to install that version of the software, there are two things within the ebuild that would need to be changed to get it to successfully install. I am not an expert in this, so someone else may be able to explain what is actually going on better than me and what effect the solution might have on the installed package.
FIrst, in the sys-fs/btrfs-progs/btrfs-progs-9999.ebuild which you can read on your system or here:
https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/tree/sys-fs/btrfs-progs/btrfs-progs-9999.ebuild
Lines 125 and 126:
| Code: | if [[ ${PV} == 9999 ]]; then
AT_M4DIR="m4" eautoreconf |
This says to look for .m4 (automate or autom4te) files in the m4 directory. For this particular version of btrfs-progs, these files will be found in the config directory instead. The files are named ax_check_compile_flag.m4 ax_check_define.m4 and ax_gcc_builtin.m4.
So if you keep a local repository and change the ebuild to "config" instead of "m4":
| Code: | if [[ ${PV} == 9999 ]]; then
AT_M4DIR="config" eautoreconf |
That will fix the m4 not found error.
The main cause of the failure is what the ebuild has on line 128:
| Code: | | mkdir config || die |
This is actually what is causing the ebuild to fail (or die during source prepare) to install. This is because the config directory already exists and you will get an error message," mkdir: cannot create directory ‘config’: File exists". Removing or commenting out that line in the ebuild allows it to install without error.
I can't say for sure if there is a problem with the offical ebuild that would call for a bug report or not. Someone else may be able to advise you.
Good Luck. |

Live ebuilds are inherently prone to bit rot like this. That mkdir probably made sense when it was added, but then a later commit upstream made the mkdir invalid. Upstream might write a commit tomorrow that makes the mkdir necessary again, and then invalid again the day after.
Adding -p to mkdir will allow it to treat "Directory exists" as a non-error condition, while still failing if upstream were to create a file named config. |

The idea of putting -p in mkdir, and changing m4 to config, worked. but I had to use the --digest option because of the "Digest verification failed" error, but surely there is a way so that I don't have to use the --digest option daily

Can you make a pull request to fix the problem where the config directory exists? For me, the maintainers would have to be aware of these errors, even so I will make a local repository following the guide.

| Anyone with a GitHub account and the time to work through the pull request process can submit a pull request to make this change. You do not need to delegate it to any particular user on the forum. The maintainers may not be aware of the error, if they have not attempted to rebuild the live ebuild using a commit after where upstream made the change that broke this. That is the peril of live ebuilds: they can be perfectly correct when their author merges them into Gentoo's repository, then later be made incorrect through activity outside the author's control or awareness. |
