Hi, I've just noticed that one of the environment variables I (have to) have set causes troubles with an ebuild.
In my case I have set the environment variable "PLATFORM" (for my user). If I now just su to root and then emerge mono the emerge will fail because mono also seems to make use of $PLATFORM but does not seem to overwrite it if it is already set. -> Is this a bug in the mono ebuild or is this just a fsckup on my part? I do think that all environment variables besides the stuff in the profile and the things in make.conf / make.globals should be dropped by emerge. So, should I submit a bug for the mono ebuild or is this breakage (in my case) expected behaviour? (I know that I could just use "su -" or something else which would get rid of my users environment variables, but this does not fix the problem and also I sometimes simply forget about it) kind regards Philip -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
