Description Grzegorz Chwesewicz 2009-08-25 12:16:01 UTC
When I try to compile gnokii 0.6.27-r2 or 0.6.27-r4 I get following error.

# emerge -av gnokii

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Comment 2 Rafał Mużyło 2009-08-25 17:34:24 UTC
Did you try emerging intltool ?
Though, that configure warning does mean that other fixes
to the ebuild may be needed.

As for now emerging 

dev-perl/XML-Parser-2.36
dev-util/intltool-0.40.5

solves the problem for gnokii-0.6.27-r4. Didn't try with gnokii-0.6.27-r2.
Comment 4 Rafał Mużyło 2009-08-25 19:30:20 UTC
This raises a question of why it didn't fail
during eautoconf.
And there's still that configure warning.

When I remove intltool and XML-Parser and comment eautoreconf in src_unpack(), it causes:

Comment 7 Grzegorz Chwesewicz 2009-08-26 06:33:10 UTC
Do You have older version of this ebuild, so we could see how it's done there?
Comment 8 Grzegorz Chwesewicz 2009-08-26 13:19:27 UTC
Calling 'ebuild /usr/portage/app-mobilephone/gnokii/gnokii-0.6.27-r2.ebuild unpack' then
removing line 6330 from /var/tmp/portage/app-mobilephone/gnokii-0.6.27-r2/work/gnokii-0.6.27/configure:
`IT_PROG_INTLTOOL(0.35.0)'

and calling 'ebuild /usr/portage/app-mobilephone/gnokii/gnokii-0.6.27-r2.ebuild compile'

solves the problem for me.

All this is done without intltool and XML-Parser installed. So maybe it's bug in eautoreconf ?
Comment 9 Rafał Mużyło 2009-08-26 13:29:22 UTC
IT_PROG_INTLTOOL(0.35.0) is not an error.
The call of that macro makes it simply necessary
to have intltool installed, if using eautoreconf.

As You can see intltool is not needed in order to properly build this package, so why this macro is added ?

What solution do You propose, add intltool as dependency, patching 'configure' file after eautoreconf or other ?

Fixed in cvs by adding dev-util/intltool to DEPEND.
