This is the same problem as in bug #245544 (but not a duplicate) The reporter has a stable x86 system with some packages pulled from ~x86 (portage, baselayout, openrc, ...). It seems as stable libtool doesn't like some of the m4-macros shipped with vlc... Markus, a quick fix is to install latest ~x86 package of sys-devel/libtool but I'm sure there will be a better fix soon ;)
Created attachment 170878 [details, diff] vlc-0.9.6.ebuild.diff Alright, I took jer's ebuild-fix for bug #245544 and it seems to work for vlc as well.
reassigning to maintainer...
Ooops, actually the original fix did not come from jer but loki_val...
It builds with the change. I hate libtool so much. As a rule, I don't trust shell scripts longer than 1000 lines. I read on undeadly.org that OpenBSD is writing a libtool replacement in Perl for their port system.
applied, thanks note that this is not a libtool 2.2 breakage, but because the tarball has been generated with libtool 2.2 it contains m4's from this libtool which confuses autotools.eclass that doesn't support libtool downgrades nicely.
