Description Ulrich Müller gentoo-dev

bigloo-3.3a_p5 calls emacs at configure time, in spite of USE="-emacs". If /usr/bin/emacs is anything else than GNU Emacs (e.g. Zile), then configure will hang:

   executing ./autoconf/dirname -> dirname
   executing ./autoconf/doubleprec -> 14
   executing ./autoconf/ldstaticopt -> 
   executing ./autoconf/ldsharedopt -> 

   Configuring bmacs/bmacs-config.el:
   executing ./autoconf/emacsbrand -> 

The following change to the ebuild fixes it for me:

Oops, somehow the trailing backslash got lost. The line should read:

        --emacs=$(use emacs && echo emacs || echo false) \

Version 3.4a has been committed with this issue solved. 3.3a is no longer in the tree. 
Thanks Ulrich.
