make install works fine on Debian Sid but fails on Fedora Rawhide because the generated cmake_install.cmake file has an inappropriate path in. I have no idea why this happens on Fedora, and not Debian. Is anyone else building LDC on Fedora so we could investigate further?

Could you post the error message, please? Which path is wrong? Thanks!

Regards,

On Debian Sid, the cmake_install.cmake file has a block:

if(NOT CMAKE_INSTALL_COMPONENT OR "${CMAKE_INSTALL_COMPONENT}" STREQUAL "Unspecified")
  list(APPEND CMAKE_ABSOLUTE_DESTINATION_FILES
   "/home/users/russel/Built/etc/bash_completion.d/")
  if(CMAKE_WARN_ON_ABSOLUTE_INSTALL_DESTINATION)
    message(WARNING "ABSOLUTE path INSTALL DESTINATION : ${CMAKE_ABSOLUTE_DESTINATION_FILES}")
  endif()
  if(CMAKE_ERROR_ON_ABSOLUTE_INSTALL_DESTINATION)
    message(FATAL_ERROR "ABSOLUTE path INSTALL DESTINATION forbidden (by caller): ${CMAKE_ABSOLUTE_DESTINATION_FILES}")
  endif()
file(INSTALL DESTINATION "/home/users/russel/Built/etc/bash_completion.d" TYPE DIRECTORY FILES "/home/Checkouts/Git/LDC/bash_completion.d/")
endif()

which appears to be fine. However on Fedora the path to the bash completion directory is:

"/usr/share/bash-completion/completions/"

instead of:

"/home/russel/Built/etc/bash_completion.d/"

which is not only wrong, it is also an unreadable and (more importantly) unwriteable directory. Currently on Fedora I manually comment out this block so as to be able to run:

make install

Not a huge problem, but very irritating.

I am guessing there is a problem with file template and/or string interpolation that happens on Fedora but not on Debian.

Currently Debian uses /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/ too. /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/bash_completion script automatically includes /etc/bash_completion.d for backward compatibility.

So probably cmake file should be changed.

True, certainly, but given that CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX has been set, and the entire /usr tree in not writeable, having the (working) path as above for Debian is what needs to be the case for Fedora.

For Fedora builds yes, but not for Debian builds; the current way things happen on Debian is just fine for me.
