Bug 53694 – tpb 0.6.2 will not compile (autoheader failure)

• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 62809
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Brian Heung 2004-06-11 23:36:07 UTC]

When I try to emerge tpb 0.6.2 the ./configure step works but the system quits on make. Version 0.6.1 compiles correctly.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge tpb

Actual Results:  
cd . && autoheader
/usr/bin/autoheader-2.13: Symbol `HAVE_LIBXOSD' is not covered by
/usr/share/autoconf/acconfig.h
/usr/bin/autoheader-2.13: Symbol `HAVE_LIBXOSD_VERSION' is not covered by
/usr/share/autoconf/acconfig.h
make: *** [stamp-h.in] Error 1

!!! ERROR: app-laptop/tpb-0.6.2 failed.
!!! Function src_compile, Line 27, Exitcode 2
!!! (no error message)


Expected Results:  
compile and install.

[Comment 1 Henrik Brix Andersen 2004-06-14 03:47:37 UTC]

I can not reproduce that using sys-devel/autoconf-2.59-r3 and sys-devel/automake-1.8.3.

[Comment 2 Tristan Henderson 2004-06-14 05:48:46 UTC]

I get the same LIBXOSD problem, using:
sys-devel/autoconf-2.59-r4
sys-devel/automake-1.8.5
x11-libs/xosd-2.2.5-r1

[Comment 3 Christian Funke 2004-06-15 07:09:27 UTC]

Same for me here (using same versions as Tristan above)

[Comment 4 Jackey Yang ("timeout" in forum) 2004-06-21 06:18:16 UTC]

same problem

[Comment 5 Matteo Settenvini 2004-06-21 10:53:22 UTC]

Created attachment 33761 [details]
acconfig.h - Needed file

After a quick look, I noticed that the tar package of tpb 0.6.2 lacks
acconfig.h . So I copied the 0.6.1 one in the work dir of 0.6.2 and tried a
./configure. It went ok.

So please add this file in portage, and have it copied in the workdir by the
ebuild. I'll attach also the modified ebuild.

(As always, test it before.)

[Comment 6 Matteo Settenvini 2004-06-21 10:55:14 UTC]

Created attachment 33762 [details, diff]
Patch to the ebuild

The mentioned patch.

[Comment 7 Peter Johanson (RETIRED) 2004-06-25 09:06:10 UTC]

I've also not been able to reporduce with:
sys-devel/automake-1.8.3
sys-devel/autoconf-2.59-r3
x11-libs/xosd-2.2.5-r1


As this seems to be related to some automake/autoconf foo, i'm CCing base-system to hopefully get some of their feedback.

[Comment 8 Tristan Henderson 2004-06-25 09:15:54 UTC]

FWIW, I downgraded automake from automake-1.8.5-r1 to automake-1.8.3, but I still get the same HAVE_LIBXOSD problem.

[Comment 9 Quantumstate 2004-07-06 10:33:48 UTC]

>>> Patch to the ebuild

Thank you.  It works.

[Comment 10 Quantumstate 2004-07-16 07:24:36 UTC]

I believe it would be nice to integrate tpb into the rc system, and so I propose adding to the ebuild /etc/init.d/tpbutt:

checkconfig() {
	if [ ! -x "`/dev/nvram`" ] ; then
		eerror "Please re-compile your kernel with nvram support."
		return 1
	fi

start() {
	ebegin "Starting tpb"
	start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --exec /usr/bin/tpb -d
	eend $?
}

stop() {
	ebegin "Stopping tpb"
	start-stop-daemon --stop --quiet --exec /usr/bin/tpb
	eend $?
}

[Comment 11 Matteo Settenvini 2004-07-21 08:43:06 UTC]

Could be interesting having the patch to the ebuild and the needed file in portage, since the problem is still here with newest xosd (2.2.8), automake(1.8.5-r1) and autoconf(2.59-r4).

From comment #10: maybe it should be better to open a separate bug.

[Comment 12 Thomas Eckert 2004-09-04 04:09:58 UTC]

see bug #62809 for v0.6.3-comments
0.6.3 is working here with nearly exactly the versions mentioned in comment #11:
autoconf-2.59-r4, xosd-2.2.8-r1, automake-1.8.5-r1.
gcc-3.3.3-r6
