Bug 112658 – games-rpg/tux_aqfh gives errors on ./configure; can't find autotools correctly

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Henrique Rodrigues 2005-11-15 17:06:52 UTC]

When I try to emerge games-rpg/tux_aqfh, I notice this error about Autoconf:

 * Applying 1.0.14-fix-paths.patch ...                                    [ ok
]automake: configure.in: required file `./config.guess' not found
automake: configure.in: required file `./config.sub' not found
FATAL ERROR: Autoconf version 2.50 or higher is required for this script
>>> Source unpacked.

 *   No config.guess found in
/var/tmp/portage/tux_aqfh-1.0.14/work/tux_aqfh-1.0.14, skipping ...

And then, at the end, he complains:

creating wavs/Makefile
cd . && automake --gnu --include-deps Makefile
automake: configure.in: required file `./config.guess' not found
automake: configure.in: required file `./config.sub' not found
make: *** [Makefile.in] Error 1

But my Autoconf version (2.59-r6) seems to be right:

bianca ~ # autoconf --version
autoconf (GNU Autoconf) 2.59


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge games-rpg/tux_aqfh
2. check the error


Actual Results:  
It complains: "Autoconf version 2.50 or higher is required for this script"

Expected Results:  
Install, because I have an Autoconf version 2.59, higher than 2.50

Should be fixed in CVS.  resync and try it again.

Now it works, thank you.
