Bugzilla Bug 53694

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.

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

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

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

same problem

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.)

Patch to the ebuild

The mentioned patch.

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.

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

>>> Patch to the ebuild

Thank you.  It works.

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 $?
}

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.

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
