Hi,
I just tried building "scalc" out of curiosity.
It through several errors like that:
{{{
chown: bin: Invalid argument
}}}
...seems it tries to set the user to '''bin''' before installing. Which
doesn't exist!? - should it be there?
I did some grep'ing and then went through some files I thought relevant
and changed the variables '''INSUSR_DEF''' and '''DEFINSUSR''' from
'''bin''' to '''root''' (and did similar with the groups setting - from
'''bin''' to '''admin'''). That allowed finishing the install.
Though I had another problem with already having a '''calc''' executable
installed from the '''calc'''-port. Is that intended? Shouldn't/Couldn't
the '''scalc'''-executable be named '''scalc''' instead of '''calc''' to
avoid that?
Regards,
Sven
PS: Full debug output of the build without changes is attached.
