[oss-devel] GentooLinux 64bit: cp: cannot overwrite non-directory `/usr/lib' with directory `prototype/usr/lib'

[Sławomir Gąsiorowski]

Hi,

I've successfully installed OSS on Gentoo. In home I have 32 bit processor
(Athlon XP) and there was no problem. Of course I don't have ALSA soundcore
and any other ALSA depend module staticaly linked into kernel - that's why
the only thing to do was unload all alsa (by script /etc/init.d/alsasound)
modules before start compiling OSS. So, as I said before on my 32 bit
machine, where /lib and /usr/lib are not symlinks  make install stages works
fine.

On 64 bit Gentoo I've found a little bit different solution, than Yours. I
found that the problem is in $OSSSOURCES/setup/Linux/make.local file, where
we can find 'cp -R prototype/* /' command. The hack I made was to comment
out this line in make.local, copy all stuff from prototype/* to / manually
(with mc for example) and then proceed with make install. Finally OSS works
on 64 bit Gentoo too :-)

By the way, It would be nice to find an elegant solution for this damn
symlinked Gentoo lib directories.
Best regards
