/usr/share/automake-1.12/am/ltlibrary.am: warning: 'libevolution-a11y.la': linking libtool libraries using a non-POSIX archiver requires 'AM_PROG_AR' in 'configure.ac' while processing Libtool library 'libevolution-a11y.la'
Comment 6 Evgeny Bobkin 2012-11-08 09:46:42 UTC
on of the possible solutions would be to add this line to configure.ac:

m4_ifdef([AM_PROG_AR], [AM_PROG_AR]) # required by automake 1.12

or to disable the -Werror option in AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE, whereas the last option does not sound good for a long run.

+  17 Nov 2012; Pacho Ramos <pacho@gentoo.org> -evolution-2.32.3.ebuild,
+  evolution-2.32.3-r1.ebuild:
+  Fix building with latest automake dropping last -Werror instance we missed
+  before (#442242 by evgenn), show message for changing browser only when people
+  don't have gnome-default-applications-properties provider. Remove old.
