This is because the GNUmakefile tries to call 'check_release', a python script in the source directory. However, this directory is not in PATH, and so check_release can't be found. We can call ./check_release however. liqx, just curious, do we actually need to make here? I'm not sure with python
Same problem here. Patch on it's way.
Created attachment 44275 [details, diff] Updated gentoo patch Patch has it run check_release from the local directory, and also removes having 'rundiff' run, since that requires opening a display, which I believe it should not be doing. (I was trying to build on headless server, it had to go). I think it's standard for that to be removed, although I may be wrong.
Works with patch
Both 0.9.1 and 0.9.4.1 in portage resolve this problem. Please RESOLVE WONTFIX and mark a newer version as stable, or include the 3 month old patch. Thank you.
I marked 0.9.4.1 stable on x86 and alpha
newest package was marked stable by agriffis which fixes this issue.
