please update your automake (1.7.2 is stable then try again Its independed from automake. I tried this. Its a autoconf thingy. I can repeat this here (on alpha) with the settings you mention. Removing those settings solves the problem. Sounds like a bug-fix to me! ;-) I'll look into this a little further, but I don't quite understand the issue you have. Using the default settings solves the problem. Would you explain why you want those settings? The problem is that EGREP isn't being set appropriately in configure, so instead of running "grep -E yes" it's running "yes" which loops infinitely. I'll see if I can come up with a solution tomorrow. I use Gentoo cause its easy to selfcompile things that are not part of the distribution. In my personal experience autoconf-2.5x has the highest compatibility when building my own apps. So my /etc/profile ends with: export LC_CTYPE=de_DE.utf8 export WANT_AUTOCONF_2_5=1 export WANT_AUTOMAKE=1.7 export KDE_UTF8_FILENAMES=1 I suggest that an ebuild that needs a definite version of autoxyz-tool forces this setup in the build-script(?) There are more (quite old) programs that have build problems with a modern Gentoo setup e.g. autorun (not part of Gentoo) or ungif (part of Gentoo) Thanks for your debugging! Thorsten This is fixed in version 6.2_pre6-r1 of vim-core, vim, and gvim. Bram is also integrating the patch into his sources. Let me know how it goes for you. |
