sys-apps/hal-0.5.8.1 fails to run ./configure due to syntax errors. It seems that the build scripts are somewhat bugged, and I'm not good enough at auto* to provide a solution.

I forgot to mention, this ebuild is from the gnome-experimental overlay.
Created attachment 107749 [details] patch for configure.in Created a quick patch to add some CRs to the configure.in. Compiled for me afterwards.
Created attachment 107751 [details] fixed patch sorry..didnt notice the 'i' in there..
Created attachment 107752 [details, diff] fixed patch sorry..didnt notice the 'i' in there..
(In reply to comment #4) > Created an attachment (id=107752) [edit] > fixed patch > > sorry..didnt notice the 'i' in there.. It doesn't work. configure.in is patched, however the configure script returns the exact same error. Is there any other way to compile hal ?
you need to add eautoreconf in the ebuild after the patch. I'll add a patch for the ebuild when I have some time.
Using patch from comment #4 makes my hal build as well. Thank you, all!
Applied this patch plus a fix for another bug in the overlay. Please test. Thanks
hal-0.5.8.1 from gnome-experimental builds without problems on my machine. I'm fairly oblivious to what the other bugfix fixed, so I'm at a loss for testing it. Nevertheless, thank you!

it seems we owe you a beer :)
Fixing this ASAP. Thanks a lot Marcello. :)
