When I tried to build sudo (1.8.29) for a new system, "make install"
reported fail because the file "/etc/sudoers" was missing.
So I had to create this file before I executed "make install".
I am not sure this problem is related this change or not:
https://www.sudo.ws/stable.html#1.8.29:
For make install, the sudoers file is no longer checked for syntax
errors when DESTDIR is set. The default sudoers file includes the
contents of /etc/sudoers.d which may not be readable as non-root. Bug
#902.
I just did a test build in a pristine LFS build in chroot. It
installed fine for me. Are you using DESTDIR? If so, it may be that
you need /etc to be created in the target directory.
My mistake. It does fail as you describe. I'll investigate the best
way to fix. The easy way is to 'touch /etc/sudoers' before the install
and then 'cp /etc/sudoers.dist /etc/sudoers', but I'd like to jsut skip
the validity check in the install.
OK, I've fixed this with:
sed -e '/^pre-install:/{N;s@;@ -a -r $(sudoersdir)/sudoers;@}' \
-i plugins/sudoers/Makefile.in
at the beginning of the build.
