somehow one of the nested configure scripts (the one in ScriptKit) treats its arguments wrong - as host specifications instead of environment variables...

hmm... it seems to be created by different version of autoconf then the others. the following trick allowed me to build it (i omit my-system-dependant paths): ebuild .../gnustep-guile-1.1.1.ebuild clean unpack cd .../tmp/portage/gnustep-guile-1.1.1/work/gnustep-guile-1.1.1/ScriptKit autoconf-2.58 ebuild .../gnustep-guile-1.1.1.ebuild compile install qmerge
In the meantime, it has become worse - gnustep-guile won't compile against gnustep-base-1.9.0 and will need patches for 2 files : ScriptKit/Library/GuileSCM.m and .../GuileSCM.h , only available from CVS
Created attachment 23353 [details] fixed ebuild for gnustep-guile-1.1.1 Ok, as long as gnustep-base<=1.8.0, the attached ebuild should work Thanks for the hint with autoconf, Artem ! ebuild should be the same for gnustep-guile-1.1.2
I've recently checked in on the status of gnustep-guile, and generally, it's in an unmaintained state. The gnustep-guile ebuild has been removed, for now. If someone picks up maintainership of the upstream sources, this of course may change. However, "StepTalk" is now the official scripted language of gnustep, and is maintained, fwiw.
