Bug 539238 – sys-fs/ntfs3g-2014.2.15-r1[-ntfsdecrypt]: configure.ac:321: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_PATH_LIBGCRYPT

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Hanno Zysik (geki) 2015-02-07 14:05:19 UTC]

If libgcrypt is not installed, the libgcrypt.m4 is missing.

Having a closer look to the shipped aclocal.m4, it got that macros.
After running 'eautoreconf' aclocal.m4 is cleaned out. Bug 399043 has a workaround[0].

I'm getting the same issue on fresh install, strangely on previous system it worked.

at this point you could just install libgcrypt and get the m4 available

i've fixed this in 2015.3.14 by not regenerating autotools.  doing so was slightly broken anyways -- one patch was updating Makefile.in while another was updating Makefile.am.  the former was blown away by running autotools.
