/usr/bin/pinta has wrong path in it

[Paul Lange]

Pinta cannot be run using /usr/bin/pinta because it contains
exec /usr/bin/mono /usr/lib/pinta/Pinta.exe "$@"
and on x86_64 the correct path is /usr/lib64/pinta/Pinta.exe

See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=790867

Is that word of the makefile or should the packager care?

Looks like there was a hard-coded path in https://github.com/PintaProject/Pinta/blob/master/pinta.in

I have looked at downstream bug reporting system (link from bug report above) and there is a statement: "Fixed this till a solution is in upstream." So it looks like downstream has temporary solved the problem. Can someone look at the solution they made, maybe we can apply the same fix.

[Paul Lange (palango)]

What I did downstream is doeing this after extracting the archive:

sed -i 's:@prefix@/lib/:%{_libdir}/:' pinta.in

But I don't know how to fix this in the makefiles.

Hi Paul,

Sorry for the delay. Could you test out the attached patch and verify if it fixes this issue?

[Paul Lange (palango)]

Sorry for the long testing time.

The patch doesn't work at it is. For fedora it should be
+exec @MONO@ @libdir@/@PACKAGE@/Pinta.exe "$@"

libdir in Fedora already includes the prefix, I'm not sure how other distros handle this however.

[Cameron White (cameronwhite91)]

Using @libdir@ didn't directly work for me in Ubuntu (64-bit) due to some issues with exec_prefix, but I managed to get that sorted out.

Can you try out the new patch I've attached?

[Paul Lange (palango)]

v2 works fine for me.

Thanks for the work!

[Cameron White (cameronwhite91)]

Great, glad to hear that it worked!

Fixed in https://github.com/PintaProject/Pinta/commit/1a46bf488053e54f67b95767b16b0562a8e4fac9
