Bugzilla Bug 103482

net-analyzer/snort-2.4.0 fails during configure for me.

I do see that this is masked, I am submitting this bug in the hope that it will
help the maintainer. I wish I knew what was wrong here.

Fix autotool failure

This patch modify the ebuild so that it invoke aclocal with the good options
(-I m4 need to be specified to avoid ending up with undefined macro). The
command used are the same as in the autojunk.sh generation script in the Snort
CVS module.

snort-2.4.0.ebuild.diff

In addition, I had to add libtoolize --copy --force to the ebuild.
Can you guys confirm if this works, as I could not reproduce the bug?

Thanks Yoann (and Marcelo ;)). Fixed in cvs. 

Congrats on your first bug!
