Thanks for offering help. Here are some of my problems: |
2 |
|
3 |
1. First of all under cygwin, any path that has two slashes at the |
4 |
beginning is treated as a network path. So the seemingly harmless "root |
5 |
+ portage_consts.EPREFIX" thingy fails with error message "No such |
6 |
hostname or network path: //opt/cyg-prefix". I worked around that by |
7 |
changing root from "/" to "/cygdrive/c/cygwin_root". |
8 |
|
9 |
2. Secondly, emerge is not able to generate dependency cache for the |
10 |
system. I have two overlays in my tree and all I can see under |
11 |
var/cache/edb is those two empty directories (plus the normal base |
12 |
portage one). When I run emerge with --debug and --regen options, I get |
13 |
this error for each ebuild file in the tree: |
14 |
aug_get(): (0) Error in sys-devel/gcc-config-1.3.12-r4.ebuild (1) |
15 |
Check for syntax error or corruption in the ebuild |
16 |
|
17 |
3. Same error is raised when I try to run "ebuild" command on any of the |
18 |
ebuilds with any option. At present, I am trying to trace through the |
19 |
ebuild/emerge code to see what is going wrong. I have a feeling that |
20 |
somewhere the root is getting set back to "/" or something like that. |
21 |
|
22 |
If any of these error messages mean anything to you, please throw some |
23 |
light. |

Thanks, |
