gnome-libs depends on a games group

[pguyot (Paul Guyot)]

gnome-libs fails to destroot because it depends on a games group. The failure happens in gnome-data subdirectory.

The Makefile mentions: GAMES_GROUP = games ... install-data-local:

$(mkinstalldirs) $(DESTDIR)$(scoredir) -chgrp $(GAMES_GROUP) $(DESTDIR)$(scoredir) && chmod g=rwXs $(DESTDIR)$(scoredir) $(top_builddir)/libgnome/gnome-gen-mimedb $(DESTDIR)$(sysconfdir)/mime-magic

Can you please post the actual error message?

What does this bug report have to do with report 7946?

[pguyot (Paul Guyot)]

The error is:

chgrp games /opt/local/var/db/dports/build/_Junk_src_opendarwin_darwinports_dports_gnome_gnome-libs/work/destroot/opt/local/var/games && chmod g=rwXs /opt/local/var/db/dports/build/_Junk_src_opendarwin_darwinports_dports_gnome_gnome-libs/work/destroot/opt/local/var/games chgrp: games: Invalid argument make[2]: [install-data-local] Error 1 (ignored) ../libgnome/gnome-gen-mimedb /opt/local/var/db/dports/build/_Junk_src_opendarwin_darwinports_dports_gnome_gnome-libs/work/destroot/opt/local/etc/mime-magic

GLib-ERROR : could not allocate -1 bytes aborting... make[2]: * [install-data-local] Abort trap make[1]: * [install-am] Error 2 make: * [install-recursive] Error 1

Error: Status 1 encountered during processing.

It blocks 7946 because I cannot fix 7946 without installing gnome-libs :)

Fix is in CVS.
