Created attachment 308033 [details] Disables eautoreconf to make vte build On my amd64-linux prefix (hosted on Red Hat 5) x11-libs/vte-0.28.2-r202 fails to run automake. While it's probably an incorrect solution, I've found that a workaround is to comment out "eautoreconf" in the src_prepare() stage of the ebuild. I've attached a diff that I use to successfully build a libvte that seems to work: I get some quality warnings that the package suggests to submit to upstream. The failure message is * Failed Running automake ! * * Include in your bugreport the contents of: * *

Actually, the reason of the failure is quite simple: src/Makefile.am:168: HAVE_INTROSPECTION does not appear in AM_CONDITIONAL most likely means that eautoreconf adds a dep on dev-libs/gobject-introspection (or dev-libs/gobject-introspection-common, if you already have that version installed)
(In reply to comment #1) > Actually, the reason of the failure is quite simple: > src/Makefile.am:168: HAVE_INTROSPECTION does not appear in AM_CONDITIONAL > most likely means that eautoreconf adds a dep on > dev-libs/gobject-introspection (or dev-libs/gobject-introspection-common, if > you already have that version installed) Yes, I can verify that vte builds (and with eautoreconf) fine when I add gobject-introspection into the list of dependencies (ie, remove it from the introspection conditional). I'll attach another patch. This breakage doesn't happen on a non-prefix amd64 box, but it doesn't call eautoreconf so that seems reasonable. Thanks for the help!
Created attachment 308059 [details, diff] Don't conditionally depend on dev-libs/gobject-introspection I'm not actually sure which workaround is better, so I'm not deprecating my old one.
I've removed the need to call eautoreconf by making the interix patch patch configure as well. That should fix it. Thanks!
