Bug 60886 – libtool complains about AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE implementation

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Sebastian Roth 2004-08-19 06:01:29 UTC]

Emerging libtool stops and complains about automake problems.
I tried it while `emerge -e system` but it also stops at `emerge libtool`.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge libtool

Actual Results:  
checking for strcmp... yes
updating cache .././config.cache
creating ./config.status
creating Makefile
creating config.h
 * Building libtool-1.4.3 ...
 cd . && automake --gnu 
configure.in:5: your implementation of AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE comes from an
configure.in:5: old Automake version.  You should recreate aclocal.m4
configure.in:5: with aclocal and run automake again.
make: *** [Makefile.in] Error 1

Also tried with
 MAKEOPTS="-j1" FEATURES="-ccache"  , same result.

[Comment 2 Seemant Kulleen (RETIRED) 2004-08-19 11:49:10 UTC]

what's `automake --version` say?

[Comment 4 SpanKY 2004-08-20 22:25:23 UTC]

please try automake-1.8.5-r1 ... i believe this should resolve this problem ...

[Comment 5 Matthew Schulkind 2004-08-20 22:54:22 UTC]

For what it's worth, I was able to cleanly emerge sys-devel/libtool-1.4.3-r4 with sys-devel/automake-1.8.3

If automake-1.8.5-r1 is needed to emerge libtool-1.4.3-r4, then shouldn't either autmake be added to x86 or the libtool removed from x86?

[Comment 6 SpanKY 2004-08-20 22:58:01 UTC]

uhh automake-1.8.5-r1 does have x86 ... sounds like your portage tree is out of sync :P

[Comment 7 Matthew Schulkind 2004-08-20 23:09:24 UTC]

Sorry, seems like some rsync mirrors still don't even have this change, I had to emerge sync twice to get this change.
