| Summary | 0002741: installation fails: update-mime-database does not work if directory does not exist | ||||
| Description | prefix is /usr/local when you run "sudo scons install", you get this error message: scons: Building targets ... update-mime-database /usr/local/share/mime update-mime-database: I don't have write permission on /usr/local/share/mime. Try rerunning me as root. the actual reason is that /usr/local/share/mime does not exist. a workaround is to symlink it to /usr/share/mime, but ardour should detect this. plus an error here should not abort the actual installation of the ardour2 binary. should be a blocker for 2.8.1 imho. | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | sudo scons install (where PREFIX=/usr/local and your distro does not have /usr/local/share/mime) | ||||
| Tags | No tags attached. | ||||
|
|
should have noted that you need to enable FREEDESKTOP=1 to trigger this issue |
|
|
i'm more likely to just disable the FREEDESKTOP option, to be honest. we handle this very differently in 3.0, and for 2.X, integration with the desktop is best left for distros. |

Are you able to reproduce this error still? |
