Description Geoffrey Derber 2005-02-17 13:56:39 UTC

imake tries running file in /tmp/ this will not work with systems that mount
/tmp/ noexec

The entire compile:

make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/xc'

Building Release 6.8.2.

I hope you checked the configuration parameters in ./config/cf
to see if you need to pass BOOTSTRAPCFLAGS.

the "sh: /tmp/imake8v4KbF: Permission denied" seems particularly indicative of
the problem.

It seems that imake is placing a script in /tmp and then tries to run it
there... weired...
CC:'ing Egbert Eich who knows imake little bit better than I do...

Comment 2 Egbert Eich 2005-03-03 10:43:24 UTC

imake needs to test for the libc version. To do so it needs to run a program.
This is placed in /tmp.
Since the build system is going to be replaced I don't think it's worthwile fixing.

Comment 3 Geoff Gowey 2006-07-12 05:24:37 UTC

This problem was from 2005 and it's now July 2006.  I'm getting the same error
with the CVS version.  I'm ssh'd in and I've even tried setting /tmp to 777. 
What would a temporary work around consist of?

Comment 4 Geoff Gowey 2006-07-12 09:16:19 UTC

I found a solution.  Change imake.c so that instead of /tmp/imakeXXXXX it reads
./imakeXXXXX .  Works like a champ.

Geoff, could you please post a patch showing your changes?

Comment 6 Daniel Stone 2007-02-27 01:25:25 UTC

Sorry about the phenomenal bug spam, guys.  Adding xorg-team@ to the QA contact so bugs don't get lost in future.

Comment 7 Donnie Berkholz 2007-08-01 16:34:46 UTC

1.0.2 has a patch that lets you set the TMPDIR environment variable to point to some other location.
