Bug 160557 – x11-wm/e-9999 requires automake-1.9

• Status: RESOLVED UPSTREAM
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description smrspam88 2007-01-06 19:51:49 UTC]

Hi, current x11-wm/e-9999 fails to build. According to
http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-480102-postdays-0-postorder-asc-start-500.html
e17 requires automake-1.9, not automake-1.10

I think the problem lies in the enlightenment.eclass:
WANT_AUTOMAKE=${E17_WANT_AUTOMAKE:-latest}
should be set properly. But I'm not really sure whether this should be fixed in the eclass or in the e17 ebuild.

Bye,
Momsen


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge e17
2.
3.

Stick E17_WANT_AUTOMAKE="1.9" into make.conf; that's why it's there. The automake thing needs to be fixed upstream.

But according to the post upstream does not plan to solve these issues. I think this should be fixed permanently or at least issue an ewarn message, although e-9999 is marked -*!

I meant the post in the forums, sorry If that is unclear

As said, needs to be fixed upstream. Not a Gentoo bug.
