This patch fixes the build failure.Is that an observed behavior or a speculated one ?
Observed. I've atached the relevent logfile.
I mean: 1/ why on earth would our build ever try to create or even install something in /usr/loca/bin when building an external lib. if we do, then the fix is to stop that madness, not encourage it :-)
Yeah, I'll try to come up with a better fix then this admittedly somewhat hacky one.
2/ if /usr/local/bin does not exist mkdir -p is not going to succeed anymore than $(MKDIR), unless you run make as root or have g+w or o+w authorization on /usr, both of which are a really, really bad idea.
I'm actually building libreoffice in a chroot but I agree that a better fix is probably necessary. Feel free to drop this patch for now and I'll try to come up with a better solution. Thanks, Peter
