Bug 234983 – sys-libs/db-4.5.20_p2-r1 doesn't build

• Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Rafał Mużyło 2008-08-16 23:44:06 UTC]

Description won't tell you more than build.log.

Created attachment 163091 [details]
build.log

[Comment 2 Rafał Mużyło 2008-08-16 23:49:27 UTC]

These lines:
rm: cannot remove `conftest*': No such file or directory
appear cause most test expect RM='rm -f' and here it's simply set to
RM=rm.
/bin/sh: ./libtool: No such file or directory
error is due to the fact that libtool 2 creates libtool with configure.status,
not right after the macro.
But the final lines are strange, cause those files do exist.

[Comment 3 Rafał Mużyło 2008-08-16 23:52:43 UTC]

Actually, I think those libtool tests can be done without generating libtool,
simly by directly testing correct variables.

emerge --info please!

OK, this is mostly invalid.
I got hit by bug 217976, with autoconf-2.62-r1 it works.
The RM and libtool related errors are still there,
but if you don't consider them bugs...
Anyway, thanks for your help.

Ok, if anybody else hits this I can add "!=sys-devel/autoconf-2.62", but I don't think that's really needed anymore.
