[Description Cobo 2007-06-27 11:32:51 UTC]

pcre++ needs automake-1.9 to build but it doesn't require it when emerging.

Also, a developer

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.
#emerge pcre++

2.
#
>>> Source unpacked.
#
>>> Compiling source in /var/tmp/portage/dev-libs/pcre++-0.9.5-r1/work/pcre++-0.9.5 ...
#
 * econf: updating pcre++-0.9.5/config.guess with /usr/share/gnuconfig/config.guess
#
 * econf: updating pcre++-0.9.5/config.sub with /usr/share/gnuconfig/config.sub
#
./configure --prefix=/usr --host=i686-pc-linux-gnu --mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info --datadir=/usr/share --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var/lib --build=i686-pc-linux-gnu

Try w/ 0.9.5-r1 please.

Jakub: He tried with -r1 :)

I *think* I know what is going on here. Mainly that my autogen.bash patch is a bit lousy. Will fix in a month (I'll be out of the internet in a couple of hours until then) if nobody beats me.

Stupid bugzie, won't let me do everything at once. Sorry for the bugspam guys.

Eh, indeed... :)

I don't understand enough about emerge to be able to fix the ebuild file, but I was able to complete the pcre++ installation by executing the following commands after the initial failure:

# cd /var/temp/portage/dev-libs/pcre++-0.9.5-r1/work/pcre++-0.9.5
# aclocal-1.10
# autoheader
# autoconf
# automake -a --copy
# ./configure
# make && make install

Note that I don't know how to clean-up the portage database to let it be known the library is installed.  But, this let me build libopkele-0.3, which is what I was trying to do in the first place.

Moving to herd since Ferdy left Gentoo.

This was fixed along the way.
