I've been reading the autoconf info files. They make several references to standards.info. However, nothing provides that file. I did some research. At one time both gdb and binutils provided it. gdb stopped providing it with bug 38683. The bugs says that both gdb and binutils provide it. However, toolchain-binutils.eclass removes standards.info and configure.info on line 310. I verified that it's not installed elsewhere by binutils. I also posted a message in the forums: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-439570.html Here's my emerge --info just in case I missed something... emerge --info Portage 2.0.54 (default-linux/x86/2005.1, gcc-3.4.4, glibc-2.3.5-r2, 2.6.14-gentoo-r5 i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.14-gentoo-r5 i686 AMD Athlon(tm) XP 3200+ Gentoo Base System version 1.6.14 distcc 2.18.3 i686-pc-linux-gnu (protocols 1 and 2) (default port 3632) [disabled] dev-lang/python: 2.3.5-r2, 2.4.2 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.12 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.59-r6 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r1 sys-devel/binutils: 2.16.1 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.22 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.11-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=athlon-xp -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -fforce-addr -O3" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3.4/env /usr/kde/3.4/share/config /usr/kde/3.4/shutdown /usr/kde/3.5/env /usr/kde/3.5/share/config /usr/kde/3.5/shutdown /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/lib/X11/xkb /usr/share/config /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-march=athlon-xp -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -fforce-addr -O3" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoconfig distlocks sandbox sfperms strict" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://mirror.datapipe.net/gentoo ftp://chod.cwru.edu/gentoo ftp://gentoo.chem.wisc.edu/gentoo/ http://mirror.uni-c.dk/gentoo/" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/mnt/usr/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="x86 3dnow 3dnowex 3dnowext X Xaw3d a52 aac accessibility acl acpi adns alsa aotuv arts audiofile avi bash-completion berkdb bitmap-fonts browserplugin bzip2 c++ caps cddb cdinstall cdparanoia cdr crypt css cups curl dbus divx4linux dlloader dmx doc dts dv dvb dvd dvdr dvdread edl eds effects emboss encode esd examples exif expat fam fame ffmpeg flac font-server foomaticdb fortran gcj gd gdbm gif gimp gimpprint glibc-omitfp glitz glut gphoto2 gpm gstreamer gtk gtk2 gtkhtml hal hardened howl hpn idn ieee1394 imagemagick imlib inkjar innodb ipv6 jack java jbig joystick jpeg jpeg2k kde kerberos lcms ldap libg++ libwww lirc live logitech-mouse lzo mad matroska mikmod mjpeg mmap mmx mmxext mng motif mozdevelop mozilla mozsvg mozxmlterm mp3 mpeg mpi mythtv nas ncurses network nls nowebdav nptl nptlonly nsplugin numeric nvidia objc offensive ogg oggvorbis on-the-fly-crypt openal opengl pam pccts pcre pda pdflib perl pic pie plugin png postgres ppds python qt quicktime quotas readline real recode rtc sasl scanner sdl slang slp sndfile speex spell sse ssl subversion svg tcltk tcpd tga theora threads tiff toolbar transcode truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts udev unicode usb userlocales v4l v4l2 vcd vorbis win32codecs wmf xanim xine xinerama xml2 xmms xosd xprint xscreensaver xv xvid xvmc yv12 zlib zvbi userland_GNU kernel_linux elibc_glibc" Unset: ASFLAGS, CTARGET, LANG, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS, LINGUAS
Sorry, line 318... # Remove shared info pages rm -f "${D}"/${DATAPATH}/info/{dir,configure.info,standards.info}
autoconf-2.59 installs it now as having any toolchain related package install it makes no sense
I have sys-devel/autoconf-2.59-r6 installed. I still do not have this file. Looking at the ebuild. Line 38: # binutils installs this infopage rm -f "${D}"/usr/share/info/standards.*
you looked at the wrong ebuild
(In reply to comment #4) > you looked at the wrong ebuild > I'm confused then. Which ebuild should I be looking at? emerge -pv autoconf These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating dependencies ...done! [ebuild R ] sys-devel/autoconf-2.59-r6 -emacs 0 kB So I looked at /usr/portage/sys-devel/autoconf/autoconf-2.59-r6.ebuild Line 38 removes standards.* as I said above. I do see that the ebuild depends on autoconf-wrapper-3-r1. However, I don't see anything in that ebuild that adds the file back. I've also checked m4 and texinfo. Which ebuild should I be looking at?
