Bugzilla Bug 183390

pcre++ needs automake-1.9 to build but it doesn't require it when emerging.

Also, a developer

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.
#emerge pcre++

2.
#
>>> Source unpacked.
#
>>> Compiling source in /var/tmp/portage/dev-libs/pcre++-0.9.5-r1/work/pcre++-0.9.5 ...
#
 * econf: updating pcre++-0.9.5/config.guess with
/usr/share/gnuconfig/config.guess
#
 * econf: updating pcre++-0.9.5/config.sub with /usr/share/gnuconfig/config.sub
#
./configure --prefix=/usr --host=i686-pc-linux-gnu --mandir=/usr/share/man
--infodir=/usr/share/info --datadir=/usr/share --sysconfdir=/etc
--localstatedir=/var/lib --build=i686-pc-linux-gnu
#
./configure: line 1704: syntax error near unexpected token `libpcre++/config.h'
#
./configure: line 1704: `AM_CONFIG_HEADER(libpcre++/config.h)'

Actual Results:  
emerge of the package failed with the above error and description

Expected Results:  
build and finish the emerge

Try w/ 0.9.5-r1 please.

Jakub: He tried with -r1 :)

I *think* I know what is going on here. Mainly that my autogen.bash patch is a
bit lousy. Will fix in a month (I'll be out of the internet in a couple of
hours until then) if nobody beats me.

Stupid bugzie, won't let me do everything at once. Sorry for the bugspam guys.

Eh, indeed... :)

I don't understand enough about emerge to be able to fix the ebuild file, but I
was able to complete the pcre++ installation by executing the following
commands after the initial failure:

# cd /var/temp/portage/dev-libs/pcre++-0.9.5-r1/work/pcre++-0.9.5
# aclocal-1.10
# autoheader
# autoconf
# automake -a --copy
# ./configure
# make && make install

Note that I don't know how to clean-up the portage database to let it be known
the library is installed.  But, this let me build libopkele-0.3, which is what
I was trying to do in the first place.

Moving to herd since Ferdy left Gentoo.

This was fixed along the way.
