Bug 490354 – =media-sound/alsamixergui-0.9.0.1.2-r4 - Makefile:302: *** missing separator. Stop.

• Status: UNCONFIRMED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Walter 2013-11-04 08:39:12 UTC]

make[1]: Entering directory `/var/tmp/portage/media-sound/alsamixergui-0.9.0.1.2-r4/work/alsamixergui-0.9.0rc1-2/src'
Makefile:302: *** missing separator.  Stop.
make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/media-sound/alsamixergui-0.9.0.1.2-r4/work/alsamixergui-0.9.0rc1-2/src'
make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
 * ERROR: media-sound/alsamixergui-0.9.0.1.2-r4::gentoo failed (compile phase):
 *   emake failed


Line 302 seems to be:
"@am__fastdepCXX_TRUE@  $(CXXCOMPILE) -MT $@ -MD -MP -MF $(DEPDIR)/$*.Tpo -c -o 
$@ $<"

If I comment that out, the same error appears for other nearby lines (306, 309, etc.) but I still can't get it to build.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge alsamixer


Actual Results:  
Fails to build.

Expected Results:  
Builds.

Full build log please

[Comment 2 Walter 2013-11-04 10:59:48 UTC]

Created attachment 362548 [details]
complete build log

[Comment 3 Aaron Pelton 2014-04-18 21:19:04 UTC]

I had the same error, but it compiled as recently as 1/19/14. I've recently had issues with autotools so I looked into that and adding

WANT_AUTOCONF="latest"
WANT_AUTOMAKE="latest"

to the ebuild resolved the problem.

(the am__fastdep macro doesn't seem to be in the wrapper version but is in depend.m4 in versions 1.11 and 1.14 of aclocal)

[Comment 4 Mike 2014-10-21 12:44:48 UTC]

got a similar problem with a missing separator in the Makefile:

$(am__define_uniq_tagged_files)


autoconf 2.69
automake 1.13.4

did some more attempts... the emerge was successful with "-j1"

MAKEOPTS="-j1" emerge -1 alsamixergui
