This ebuild runs configure twice because autogen does it during the src_unpack function, then econf is run with parameters in the src_compile function. While not a bug, it's wasteful. Autogen does check for a variable NOCONFIGURE, and if set, will cause autogen to bypass running configure. This is preferred. The following line in the src_unpack function in the ebuild sets NOCONFIGURE and forces autogen to skip configure. # keep autogen from running configure. NOCONFIGURE=true ./autogen.sh || die "autogen failed" Just cleaner this way. Here's the snippet from autogen.sh that I referenced. # Run configure. if test x"$NOCONFIGURE" = x; then (set -x && ./configure "$@") fi
