Temporarily change /tmp

Hi all,
Basically, I am trying to build some software using SlackBuilds, but I do not have sufficient space on /tmp.

Is there a way of temporarily redirecting /tmp or to build the package in an alternate directory?

Regards,
Jack

Hello, yes you can run the following command

Quote:

mount -o bind /tmp <new_path>/tmp

just pass to the build script the variable TMP, like

Code:

TMP=/my/path ./script.SlackBuild

same thing for sbopkg (for permanent use with it you can also set it in /etc/sbopkg/sbopkg.conf).

There should be a line in every slackbuild like this:

Code:

TMP=${TMP:-/tmp/SBo}

If I'm not mistaken, you can override the $TMP variable by something like this (depending on your shell):

Code:

# export TMP=/alternate/tmp/path

Then it should apply to all your slackbuild'ing until root logs out.

Or for each slackbuild:

Code:

# TMP=/alternate/tmp/path ./foo.Slackbuild
