Bugzilla Bug 161256

Here is the contents of
/var/tmp/portage/media-video/mpeg4ip-1.5.0.1-r1/temp/automake-27227.out:

***** automake *****

/usr/share/automake-1.10/am/depend2.am: am__fastdepCCAS does not appear in
AM_CONDITIONAL
/usr/share/automake-1.10/am/depend2.am:   The usual way to define
`am__fastdepCCAS' is to add `AM_PROG_AS'
/usr/share/automake-1.10/am/depend2.am:   to `configure.in' and run `aclocal'
and `autoconf' again.


Reproducible: Always





 * Using autoconf (GNU Autoconf) 2.61
 * Using autoheader (GNU Autoconf) 2.61
 * Requested automake latest: 1.10
 * Using automake (GNU automake) 1.10
 * Using aclocal (GNU automake) 1.10
 * Automake used for the package (1.9.6) differs from
 * the installed version (1.10).

I just checked to be sure that automake-1.9.6-r2 and automake-wrapper-3-r1 are
present and complete.

why is this package not part of video-herd?

(In reply to comment #0)

i found that it builds fine if you add:

WANTED_AUTOMAKE="1.9.6"

to the ebuild

alright, thanks I added the proper WANT_AUTOMAKE=1.9
