Hi, I encounter an issue while working with glibc with script scripts/mkinstalldirs. In scriptversion=2018-03-07.03; # UTC.
I had a symbolic link lib64->lib and the folder lib did not exist. The glibc installing process is calling ./scripts/mkinstalldirs [..]/lib64 which failed to mkdir -p it. I made a working patch for my case, which need to be reworked as a loop (As I use the script with a single argument $@ and not a list of them). Here is my solution: --- a/scripts/mkinstalldirs.old 2023-04-28 15:25:12.087611912 +0200 +++ b/scripts/mkinstalldirs 2023-04-28 15:27:28.056402448 +0200 @@ -78,8 +78,13 @@ case $dirmode in '') if mkdir -p --version . >/dev/null 2>&1 && test ! -d ./--version; then - echo "mkdir -p -- $*" - exec mkdir -p -- "$@" + if test -L "$@"; then + echo "mkdir -p -- \"\$(realpath $*)\"" + exec mkdir -p -- "$(realpath $@)" + else + echo "mkdir -p -- $*" + exec mkdir -p -- "$@" + fi else # On NextStep and OpenStep, the 'mkdir' command does not # recognize any option.
