[Description Alan Schmitt 2004-06-21 23:02:13 UTC]

When trying to emerge ewl-0.0.3.20040529, the compilation fails with the error
make  all-recursive
make[1]: Entering directory `/var/tmp/portage/ewl-0.0.3.20040529/work/ewl'
Making all in src
make[2]: Entering directory `/var/tmp/portage/ewl-0.0.3.20040529/work/ewl/src'
Makefile:325: *** missing separator.  Stop.
make[2]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/ewl-0.0.3.20040529/work/ewl/src'

make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/ewl-0.0.3.20040529/work/ewl'

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge ewl

Actual Results:  
Compilation fails with
make  all-recursive
make[1]: Entering directory `/var/tmp/portage/ewl-0.0.3.20040529/work/ewl'

make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/ewl-0.0.3.20040529/work/ewl'
make: *** [all] Error 2


Expected Results:  
Compilation would succeed

I noticed some warnings during the automake:

automake-1.5: configure.in: installing `./depcomp'
/usr/share/automake-1.5/am/depend2.am: AMDEP does not appear in AM_CONDITIONAL

/usr/share/automake-1.5/am/lang-compile.am: AMDEP does not appear in AM_CONDITIONAL

The Makefile line where the error occurs looks like (with a couple lines before
for context):

distclean-compile:
        -rm -f *.tab.c

@AMDEP_TRUE@@am__include@ @am__quote@$(DEPDIR)/ewl_border.Plo@am__quote@
@AMDEP_TRUE@@am__include@ @am__quote@$(DEPDIR)/ewl_box.Plo@am__quote@
@AMDEP_TRUE@@am__include@ @am__quote@$(DEPDIR)/ewl_button.Plo@am__quote@

(and there are a bunch like these, so it seems related to the automake warnings).

I'm using automake-1.8.5-r1

It's working on my side.  Try to find another person with the same issue to assist you in confirming the bug.  This way I can assign it to people that will better help finalize the bug.

tends to be 'fixed' when i force newer versions of automake to run

sync up in a bit and try again
