The following bug is a classical example of something which just happens |
| 17 |
to work by accident, but is broken. It also illustrates what kind of |
| 18 |
changes people can expect to have to be made to their ebuilds to get |
| 19 |
them to work for Prefix: |

Because the ebuild gives a direct pointer to a place in the filesystem, |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
--with-apr=/usr/bin/apr-1-config |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
the ebuild needs a change such that it points to the corresponding place |
| 28 |
in the offset-prefix installation, e.g. under "${EPREFIX}". |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
--with-apr="${EPREFIX}"/usr/bin/apr-1-config |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
When this variable is empty, there's obviously no change to the |
| 33 |
behaviour of the ebuild. |
