[gentoo-dev] Retrieve get_libdir path on EAPI 6

[gentoo-dev] Retrieve get_libdir path on EAPI 6

[Geaaru]

Hi,

in EAPI 6 get_libdir function is not more available but I currently use
it on my eclass for initialize some metadata.
How can I retrieve environment $libdir path ? With LIBDIR_${cpu}
variable? 

On mgorny post I read that get_libdir function is part of EAPI, but I
don't understand how this means. I use portage-2.3.4.

Thanks in advance

G.

This means that you can use it without inheriting any eclass. It's
provided by portage directly.

Thanks for replay. But if I try to use it inside my eclass inside my
overlay isn't resolved correctly. I receive an empty string. Could be
related that in my eclass function is not already available? Or related to
a wrong version of some packages?

If you are attempting to use it in global scope (i.e. outside phase
functions), then it won't work. Such a use is forbidden since it would
mean that global variables differ depending on profile being used.

???
It _is_ available.

In EAPI 6 get_libdir was removed from multilib.eclass and put to
EAPI 6:
https://projects.gentoo.org/pms/6/pms.html#x1-143034r25

P.S. Questions about ebuild writing should go to gentoo-devhelp ML.

Ok. Thank you very much for clarification.

And sorry, for next questions I will use gentoo-devhelp ml.
