Description

Breaks the build (at least VPATH builds) as of r9698. I've disabled GRC.

History

#1
Updated by Eric Blossom over 4 years ago

I'm not sure what directory it was trying to write, but in any case it shouldn't have been trying to write anywhere except under $PREFIX.

#2

  • Status changed from New to Assigned

This is because the xdg-utils commands expected root access. Removing --mode system from the commands fixes this issue. The freedesktop files will be installed into the user's home directory rather than the system when root access is not provided.

#3
Updated by Josh Blum over 4 years ago

  • Status changed from Assigned to Closed
  • Resolution set to fixed

re-enabled in r9723
