try to add autoconf before econf
(In reply to comment #3) > try to add autoconf before econf Nope, same error. I'm also seeing several errors in the configure output like this: checking sys/param.h usability... no checking sys/param.h presence... yes configure: WARNING: sys/param.h: present but cannot be compiled configure: WARNING: sys/param.h: check for missing prerequisite headers? configure: WARNING: sys/param.h: see the Autoconf documentation configure: WARNING: sys/param.h: section "Present But Cannot Be Compiled" configure: WARNING: sys/param.h: proceeding with the preprocessor's result configure: WARNING: sys/param.h: in the future, the compiler will take precedence configure: WARNING: ## ------------------------- ## configure: WARNING: ## Report this to mtr@iki.fi ## configure: WARNING: ## ------------------------- ## checking for sys/param.h... yes There are about 8-10 of them, some of them for seemingly-important includes (locale.h, stdarg.h, math.h, etc.). The strange thing is that I took a look in configure.in, and AM_CONDITIONAL() isn't used anywhere, which is usually what causes this error (you should only use AM_CONDITIONAL() at the top level, never calling the macro inside only one branch of an if statement). I also tried: aclocal -I m4 autoheader --force automake --add-missing --force autoconf -I m4 and a few combinations and permutations of that (as well as without arguments), but I still get the same error.
Just wanted to chime in on this, I am having the same problem as Brian. My emerge --info is almost identical, except for USE flags and kernel/python version.
i'm seeing the same problem as illustrated above; my "emerge --info" is pretty much the same as the ones listed above w/ the slight exceptions of the linux kernel / python version and USE flags; additionally, i've noticed that i can do an "ebuild ${PORTDIR}/enscript/enscript-1.6.4.ebuild unpack", navigate to ${PORTAGE_TMPDIR}/portage/enscript-1.6.4/work/enscript-1.6.4, run the same configure manually that emerge says it is running: "./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 --enable-nls", this runs to completion fine - and i can subsequently manually compile from there. of course, even if i run "configure" manually, if i run "ebuild .../enscript-1.6.4 compile" then i re-runs the portage system's "configure" which has the error listed above.
This error is caused by having the CC environment variable set before running configure. From the config.log attachment: ac_cv_env_CC_set=set ac_cv_env_CC_value=gcc There's a conditional block in the configure script that will only execute if $CC is *not* set: if test "X$CC" = "X"; then <snip> if test "x$enable_dependency_tracking" != xno; then AMDEP_TRUE= AMDEP_FALSE='#' else AMDEP_TRUE='#' AMDEP_FALSE= fi <snip> fi Finally there's the check to make sure that at least one of AMDEP_TRUE and AMDEP_FALSE is set. If they are both unset then configure fails: if test -z "${AMDEP_TRUE}" && test -z "${AMDEP_FALSE}"; then { { echo "$as_me:$LINENO: error: conditional \"AMDEP\" was never defined. Usually this means the macro was only invoked conditionally." >&5 echo "$as_me: error: conditional \"AMDEP\" was never defined. Usually this means the macro was only invoked conditionally." >&2;} { (exit 1); exit 1; }; } fi
so how can we solve this? Can you provide a patch please?
Created attachment 77110 [details, diff] enscript-1.6.4.ebuild.patch The environment variable CC can simply be unset in src_compile. Find attached an ebuild patch to do this.
thanks, i added the patch
