I cannot reproduce the problem at all. Are you able to compile it from source tarball?
yes ... the ebuild dies because of the errorcode (req. file not found) that 'automake' ... do u have the same output from automake? <snip> porkoo src # tar xvfz blwm-1.0.4.tar.gz x blwm-1.0.4/ directory x blwm-1.0.4/stamp-h.in 10 bytes, 1 tape blocks x blwm-1.0.4/Makefile.am 241 bytes, 1 tape blocks [...] porkoo src # cd blwm-1.0.4/ porkoo blwm-1.0.4 # aclocal porkoo blwm-1.0.4 # autoheader porkoo blwm-1.0.4 # autoconf porkoo blwm-1.0.4 # automake automake: configure.in: required file `./config.guess' not found automake: configure.in: required file `./config.sub' not found porkoo blwm-1.0.4 # ./configure creating cache ./config.cache checking for a BSD compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c checking whether build environment is sane... yes checking whether make sets ${MAKE}... yes </snip>
No, I don't. It doesn't say anything. Could you provide the output of `automake -v` instead of just `automake`, and what happens if you change `automake` to `automake --add-missing`?

No idea why this could happen :( I can compile blwm without these files (automake doesn't complain about them).
Created attachment 54390 [details, diff] Patch against current ebuild in portage for developers reference.
Created attachment 54391 [details] Ebuild with patch that appears to solve this problem. I have had the same issue as the reported here. This ebuild appears to solve all this fails. Yes, I know -r1 is not needed ;) It's just for users, as this way is easiest. Thanks.
Thanks, this is fixed in CVS!
Just a thing. In the CVS you put: automake || die While in my ebuild it is: automake The || die should be deleted because of this: automake: configure.in: required file `./config.guess' not found automake: configure.in: required file `./config.sub' not found IF you put the || die, it will die ;) The config.guess and config.sub are not needed to compile the file, but automake just complain about them. Thanks.
Sorry for my misinterpretation of the bug. I removed "|| die" from automake. Please test the ebuild and report back if this works or not. Thanks in advance.
No additional bug reports. Closing.

The package is currently failing for both stable and ~arch users. The reason is that the configure.in shipped with blwm is not compatible with either 2.5 nor 2.13 autotools. The automake failure btw is caused by missing fails and shouldn't be worked around by removing the die condition (see http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/qa/autofailure.xml). The sources should probably be patched to allow it to bootstrap and then build.
So, does anyone maintain this anymore, or should we package.mask it and punt it?
i don't need/use it anymore ...
send last rites e-mail.
This will be removed in 30 days, keeping the bug open as a reminder
Punted
