• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description FieldySnuts 2005-08-23 11:16:45 UTC]

net-analyzer/snort-2.4.0 fails during configure for me.

I do see that this is masked, I am submitting this bug in the hope that it will
help the maintainer. I wish I knew what was wrong here.

Fix autotool failure

This patch modify the ebuild so that it invoke aclocal with the good options
(-I m4 need to be specified to avoid ending up with undefined macro). The
command used are the same as in the autojunk.sh generation script in the Snort
CVS module.

Created attachment 67448 [details, diff]
snort-2.4.0.ebuild.diff

In addition, I had to add libtoolize --copy --force to the ebuild.
Can you guys confirm if this works, as I could not reproduce the bug?

Thanks Yoann (and Marcelo ;)). Fixed in cvs.

Congrats on your first bug!
