Description Michael Laß 2007-11-12 14:13:24 UTC
I get an error when I try to emerge gnubg. automake 1.6 is needed but not declared as dependency.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. remove automake-1.6
2. emerge =gnubg-0.14.3
Actual Results:  
[...]
config.status: creating po/Makefile
cd . && \
          /bin/sh /var/tmp/portage/games-board/gnubg-0.14.3/work/gnubg-0.14.3/missing --run automake-1.6 --gnu  Makefile
/var/tmp/portage/games-board/gnubg-0.14.3/work/gnubg-0.14.3/missing: line 46: automake-1.6: command not found
WARNING: `automake-1.6' is needed, and you do not seem to have it handy on your
         system.  You might have modified some files without having the
         proper tools for further handling them.  Check the `README' file,
         it often tells you about the needed prerequirements for installing
         this package.  You may also peek at any GNU archive site, in case
         some other package would contain this missing `automake-1.6' program.
make: *** [Makefile.in] Fehler 1
 * 
 * ERROR: games-board/gnubg-0.14.3 failed.
 * Call stack:
 *             ebuild.sh, line 1701:  Called dyn_compile
 *             ebuild.sh, line 1039:  Called qa_call 'src_compile'
 *             ebuild.sh, line   44:  Called src_compile
 *   gnubg-0.14.3.ebuild, line   95:  Called die
 * The specific snippet of code:
 *      emake || die "emake failed"
 *  The die message:
 *   emake failed

Expected Results:  
It should use another version of automake or install automake-1.6 before trying to build.

we dont even want to run autotools ... fixed by patching Makefile.in, not Makefile.am in the asneeded patch
