I tried to emerge qemu (app-emulation/qemu-0.11.1-r1) but it fails while compiling the source in an interesting step. It seems to be failing while generating documentation, qemu-doc.html via texi2html (texi2html-5.0-r1) program. I solved the problem by changing Makefile it is detailed in Additional Info field. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Type emerge qemu, works on qemu-0.11.1-r1 (maybe in qemu-0.11.1 too) which depends on texi2html 2. 3. Actual Results: It prints GEN qemu-doc.html Option number is ambiguous (number-footnotes, number-sections) Try `texi2html --help' for more information. make: *** [qemu-doc.html] Error 2 emake failed and gives usual emerge failure outputs. Expected Results: It should continue compiling after generating the html documents. I asked about this in the Gentoo forums (http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-927994.html?sid=2e5d4c2104dde43474f2170c4b2f45a0) and learned that texi2html should be called with -number-sections parameter instead of only -number. I unpacked the ebuild and under unpack-dir/qemu-0.11.1-r1/work/qemu-0.11.1 I opened Makefile and changed the line containing texi2html. It is only a single line. It reads: $(call quiet-command,texi2html -I=. -monolithic -number $<," GEN $@") I changed "-number" to "-number-sections": $(call quiet-command,texi2html -I=. -monolithic -number-sections $<," GEN $@") And now it compiles fine. I didn't xheck out the doc file though.
1) Please post your `emerge --info' output in a comment. 2) Please attach the entire build log to this bug report.
