With Automake >= 1.7.9, the build fails at running automake complaining about the automake version. Please insert "aclocal" before the automake statement in the for loop, this fixes it.
Hmm... we've only got automake up to 1.7.8 in portage, so I can't verify this not working with 1.7.9, but it should... are you experiencing the problem because you are using 1.8.x? If you are using 1.7, can you give me the exact output of the error?
Sorry, I forgot about that. I was messing with SIM-CVS, which seemed to require Automake 1.7.9. emerge xmms gives me this: configure.in:8: version mismatch. This is Automake 1.7.9, configure.in:8: but the definition used by this AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE configure.in:8: comes from Automake 1.7.8. You should recreate configure.in:8: aclocal.m4 with aclocal and run automake again. To get rid of that, change this in the ebuild: for x in . libxmms ; do cd ${S}/${x} ### MYFIX aclocal ### /MYFIX automake --gnu --add-missing --include-deps || die done
I set this bug to invalid, as automake 1.7.9 is not yet in portage
