Description wojtek 2013-10-02 01:47:15 UTC

It build's ok with 13.4 and 14.1

On my system automake-1.12 wants only cyrus-sasl

Reproducible: Always

Patch for cyrus-sasl-2.1.26-r3.ebuild

For me it only compiles with automake-1.14.1 if I replace AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR with AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIRS in configure.in and saslauthd/configure.in. 

Attached patch for the ebuild.

Hi,

I also saw that dev-libs/cyrus-sasl-2.1.26-r3 was requiring sys-devel/automake-1.12.

I copied the ebuild into my local overlay and removed the

  WANT_AUTOMAKE="1.12"

line to test if it will work with sys-devel/automake-1.14.1.

It failed with:

***** aclocal *****
***** PWD: /var/tmp/portage/dev-libs/cyrus-sasl-2.1.26-r3/work/cyrus-sasl-2.1.26/saslauthd
***** aclocal -I ../cmulocal -I ../config

aclocal-1.14: warning: autoconf input should be named 'configure.ac', not 'configure.in'
aclocal-1.14: error: couldn't open directory '../cmulocal ../config': No such file or directory


The patch from Francisco worked for me (BTW: you swapped old and new file, had to use -R). Thanks!
