[SOLVED] layman overlay: ncmpcpp-9999 ebuild broken

[illuminated_cretin]

Hi there!

I must apologize, because this is likely offtopic in this forum. I have tried tracking down the layman overlay maintainer for "mpd", alas to no avail.

Cut right to the chase: the "ncmpcpp-9999" ebuild in the "mpd" overlay [gentoo, funtoo] is broken and has been for at least 6 months now. It invariably fails on attempting to install the documentation, and ends up bailing out before installing anything including the successfully compiled executable. [cf. line 64 of the ebuild "dodoc AUTHORS NEWS doc/config doc/keys"]. As there is no "doc/keys" file in the git-sources.

Fix is to drop the "doc/keys" from said line or to compile from git-sources per hand. Hope this helps somebody.

Bye.

From what I can see, there are at least two people with access to the git repository: mpd@gregf.org and kelwert@mtu.edu. In any case, you could try a pull request on Github for the repository...

Hope I fixed it, cannot test it right now as it won't compile at all, but I fixed the dodoc line and removed the iconv USE flag which was removed from the configure script. Please test and report back.

Thank you, angelos. That fixed it. Overlay ebuild builds and installs fine now!!!

Much appreciated!!
