Bug 161512 – app-crypt/kth-krb-1.3_rc1 fails to build running aclocal

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Gustavo de Lama 2007-01-11 11:35:01 UTC]

The ebuild kth-krb-1.3_rc1 consistently fails to build. Running aclocal fails to find the macro _m4_divert_diversion

It happens with every USE flag combination.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.# emerge kth-krb

Actual Results:

[Comment 1 Jakub Moc (RETIRED) 2007-01-11 11:41:01 UTC]

- 1.2.2 has bogus unversioned autoconf in DEPEND
- 1.3_rc1 doesn't export WANT_AUTO* at all, so it gets "latest" from the eclass (which apparently doesn't work)

[Comment 2 Ali Polatel (RETIRED) 2007-01-11 13:31:42 UTC]

  Quoting from Autoconf manual:
"While Autoconf was relatively dormant in the late 1990s, Automake provided Autoconf-like macros for a while. Starting with Autoconf 2.50 in 2001, Autoconf provided versions of these macros, integrated in the AC_ namespace, instead of AM_. But in order to ease the upgrading via autoupdate, bindings to such AM_ macros are provided.

Unfortunately older versions of Automake (e.g., Automake 1.4) did not quote the names of these macros. Therefore, when m4 finds something like `AC_DEFUN(AM_TYPE_PTRDIFF_T, ...)' in aclocal.m4, AM_TYPE_PTRDIFF_T is expanded, replaced with its Autoconf definition."

 A simple solution would be adding
"rm aclocal.m4 acinclude.m4 && autoupdate"
before running eautoreconf in src_unpack()

Regards,
Ali

Thanks for the fix Ali... it worked like a charm.
