Bug 19713 – xmms-1.2.7-20 can't be emerged: configure error

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Wido Depping 2003-04-21 08:59:08 UTC]

As said above, portage can't upgrade xmms because of an configure error. Here is the 
output from the console: 
 
... 
checking for sched_get_priority_max... yes 
checking for srandomdev... no 
checking for iconv_open... yes 
checking for nl_langinfo(CODESET)... yes 
checking for long... yes 
checking size of long... 4 
configure: error: conditional "HAVE_ORBIT" was never defined. 
Usually this means the macro was only invoked conditionally. 
 
!!! ERROR: media-sound/xmms-1.2.7-r20 failed. 
!!! Function econf, Line 273, Exitcode 1 
!!! econf failed 
 
 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:

I am also seeing this.  Here's my emerge info:

hmm, i didn't get a mail notification from bugzilla for martins comment, so my answer is a 
little bit late. here is my emerge info:

William/Wido,

Can you tell me if you're still suffering from this problem trying to emerge xmms.

Thanks

[Comment 5 Wido Depping 2003-05-15 12:45:48 UTC]

jep, still the same error.  
if i unpack the tarball and do the configure, everything works fine. so  the error must be 
somewhere in the patches or the ebuild. 

[Comment 6 rob holland (RETIRED) 2003-05-16 04:11:17 UTC]

Can you let me know which versions of automake and autoconf you have installed please. Just in case.. ;)

[Comment 7 William Robertson 2003-05-16 15:30:45 UTC]

Hmmm...with my previous environment, xmms still fails with the same error.  Changing WANT_AUTOMAKE from 1.7 to 1.7.2, however, seemed to fix this, even though I seem to get the same version of automake from the CLI.

[Comment 8 Wido Depping 2003-05-26 11:23:08 UTC]

Strange. I didn't change any settings for my system. But with the last 'emerge -u world' 
even xmms compiled fine. 
So, from my point of view this bug can be closed now. 

[Comment 9 rob holland (RETIRED) 2003-05-26 12:05:44 UTC]

William, does it work for you now?

[Comment 10 William Robertson 2003-05-26 15:23:27 UTC]

I was able to successfully emerge xmms after tweaking WANT_AUTOMAKE.  So, I'm happy. :-)

[Comment 11 rob holland (RETIRED) 2003-05-28 10:14:54 UTC]

Lets call it quits here then
