I get it to fail in aclocal.

Here is aclocal-17781.out

sideshow temp #

vapier: this bug is due your change to eaclocal in autotools.eclass, CVS commit
1.74 (and due to the fact that g-wrap makefiles are a mess).

As a result, *all* versions of g-wrap in the tree currently fail to compile.

You might want to look out whether other packages in portage are similarly
affected.

***Devs: please change the bug component to "Eclasses and Profiles"!


The -I ../config error is trivial to fix.

The hard problem is that g-wrap uses the following construct in its
Makefile.am:

ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS = -I m4 @ACLOCAL_FLAGS@

where ACLOCAL_FLAGS is set by configure. The new behaviour for eaclocal is to
automatically scan for ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS in Makefile.am and Makefile.in, so this
is a major problem; the obvious workarounds are either ugly (shuffling
Makefile.am's and Makefile.in's in and out of backup directories) or far too
much work (rewriting the g-wrap build system).

IMHO, the solution is to patch autotools.eclass so that the list of files that
eaclocal scans for ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS would be a variable. So the ebuild could
call something like

AT_AMFLAGS_FILES="" AT_M4DIR="${S}/m4" eautoreconf

Created an attachment (id=152399) [details]
patch for autotools.eclass

Patch to make the list of files that eaclocal scans for ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS be
editable via the AT_AMFLAGS_FILES variable (i.e. setting AT_AMFLAGS_FILES=""
would make eaclocal behave like it did before April 22 2008)

i cant see how it works properly regardless of autotools.eclass ... in fact, a
quick test over here shows that it indeed doesnt work at all:
$ autoreconf
aclocal-1.10: unrecognized option `@ACLOCAL_FLAGS@'
aclocal-1.10: Try `/usr/bin/aclocal-1.10 --help' for more information.
autoreconf-2.61: aclocal failed with exit status: 1

fix the makefiles in question

Still doesn't build for me. (this means I can reproduce it too)

cd ${S}
ln -s m4 config
find . -name Makefile.in -o -name Makefile.am -exec sed -i s/@ACLOCAL_FLAGS@//g
{} \;

"works for me" (TM)

The above patch didn't work for me either. Can someone please provide a fixed
ebuild that will actually emerge successfully? Or even better provide a folder
ready to put in an overlay?

Christian Schmidt's patch worked OK for me, but it would be cool if someone
could fix the ebuild in portage.

Thankyou

Worked for me.

I used the script to build g-wrap-1.9.6-r3 without error messages. I changed
only the KEYWORDS to match version 1.9.6-r3.

v1.9.9 ebuild worked for me.
Thank you!

does this problem occur for 1.9.11?

And for me.

Thanks a lot!

I can also report success using the ebuild with g-wrap-1.9.6-r3, having changed
the KEYWORDS line.

Thanks very much!

What KEYWORDS are you folks referring to?
the version: g-wrap-1.9.6-r3.ebuild has:
KEYWORDS="alpha amd64 ppc sparc x86"

version: g-wrap-1.9.9.ebuild (posted here has:)
KEYWORDS="~alpha ~amd64 ~hppa ~ppc ~ppc64 ~sparc ~x86"

I'm having problem as well after upgrading to gcc-4.3.2-r3

I've tried g-wrap 1.9.9 from portage, the same problem

This version removed.
