Bug 219080 – distcc-2.18.3-r12 fail to compile because of a wrong --configure option

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description nobody 2008-04-23 21:46:59 UTC]

* econf: updating distcc-2.18.3/config.guess with /usr/share/gnuconfig/config.guess
 * econf: updating distcc-2.18.3/config.sub with /usr/share/gnuconfig/config.sub
./configure --prefix=/usr --host=i686-pc-linux-gnu --mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info --datadir=/usr/share --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var/lib --without-included-popt --docdir=/usr/share/doc/distcc-2.18.3-r12 --enable-rfc2553 --disable-avahi --with-gnome --with-gtk --build=i686-pc-linux-gnu

Try `./configure --help' for more information.

 * Call stack:


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge =distcc-2.18.3-r12
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
failure to emerge

Expected Results:  
-> seems configure: error: unrecognized option: --docdir=/usr/share/doc/distcc-2.18.3-r12

and ./configure --help gives 
...
Optional Packages:
  --with-PACKAGE[=ARG]    use PACKAGE [ARG=yes]
  --without-PACKAGE       do not use PACKAGE (same as --with-PACKAGE=no)
  --with-docdir=DIR       Use DIR to store documentation files (default
                          ${datadir}/doc/distcc)
  --with-included-popt    use bundled popt library, not from system
  --with-gnome            build GNOME-based monitor
...

So seem the error is that "--docdir=..." is use instead of "--with-docdir=..."

previous ebuild with same same revision -r3 was working fine and changelog stop here:
17 Jan 2008; Petteri RÀty <[e-mail]> metadata.xml:
  Add myself as the maintainer after getting ok from dberkholz.

the ebuild change but still -r3 but changelog has add 
  22 Apr 2008; Diego Pettenò <[e-mail]>
  files/distcc-avahi-configure.patch, distcc-2.18.3-r12.ebuild:
  Fix building with autoconf 2.62 (error in AC_HELP_STRING parameters),
  closes bug #218237. Also install documentation in the canonical directory,
  closes bug #179586.

  17 Feb 2008; Alexis Ballier <[e-mail]>
  distcc-2.18.3-r12.ebuild:
  set proper deps for unifdef and rekeyword ~x86-fbsd, part of bug #204237


bug http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=179586 seems the one related to mine.
Dunno how/when an ebuild change his -r? state, but might be a good idea to raise it to -r4 to avoid having an -r3 working on a computer, not working on another one because they use different ebuild with same revision.

flameeyes: You break it, you fix it.

Fixed, I didn't notice that eautoreconf was called only for USE=avahi (which I have enabled).
