(In reply to Rafał Mużyło from comment #1) > > the following seems to be an automake 1.13* related issue > ...and you base this assumption on ? > > IOW, what's in aclocal.out ? ***** aclocal ***** ***** PWD: /var/tmp/portage/xfce-extra/xfce4-quicklauncher-plugin-1.9.4-r1/work/xfce4-quicklauncher-plugin-1.9.4 ***** aclocal -I /usr/share/xfce4/dev-tools/m4macros configure.ac:16: error: 'AM_CONFIG_HEADER': this macro is obsolete. You should use the 'AC_CONFIG_HEADERS' macro instead. /usr/share/aclocal-1.13/obsolete-err.m4:12: AM_CONFIG_HEADER is expanded from... configure.ac:16: the top level autom4te-2.69: /usr/bin/m4 failed with exit status: 1 aclocal-1.13: error: echo failed with exit status: 1 ok, so it's an issue with =automake-1.13.1 after emerging automake-1.13.2 it configures, compiles and installs fine - both are in ~ I'm running ~amd64
fixed in tree by using AC_CONFIG_HEADERS instead
