After the last change (v1.2 autotools, eautoreconf) in gnome-games-2.16.0.ebuild recreated configure failed: checking what language compliance flags to pass to the C++ compiler... ./configure: line 20855: syntax error near unexpected token `2.0.0' ./configure: line 20855: `GOB2_CHECK(2.0.0)' looking at the log of the earlier ebuild (v1.1 no autotools, only autoconf) I read at the corresponding lines: checking for gob2... no configure: WARNING: Cannot find GOB-2, check http://www.5z.com/jirka/gob.html Using config source xml:merged:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults for schema installation Though GOB-2 wasn't found this ebuild didn't fail Searching a little bit around, I found that dev-libs/gob is in portage, after emerging this, the v1.2 gnome-games-2.16.0.ebuild compiled successfully obviously the ebuild needs dev-libs/gob as dependency
Fixed. gob2 is not a real dep, it's optional. The problem was the M4 directory.
