• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Stefan Huber 2009-05-21 19:20:03 UTC]

Problem occurred on a x86 and amd64 system, running gcc-4.3.2-r3 and automake-1.10.2 and portage-2.1.6.11.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge radvd


Actual Results:  
am-wrapper: warning: invalid WANT_AUTOMAKE 'latest'; ignoring.
 * Running automake --add-missing --copy --foreign ...                                   [ !! ]
 
 * Failed Running automake !
 *
 * Include in your bugreport the contents of:
 *
 *   /var/tmp/portage/net-misc/radvd-1.1/temp/automake.out
 
 *
 * ERROR: net-misc/radvd-1.1 failed.
 * Call stack:
 *               ebuild.sh, line   48:  Called src_unpack
 *             environment, line 2727:  Called eautomake
 *             environment, line  882:  Called autotools_run_tool 'automake' '--add-missing' '-
-copy' '--foreign'
 *             environment, line  390:  Called die
 * The specific snippet of code:
 *           die "Failed Running $1 !";
 *  The die message:
 *   Failed Running automake !
 *
 * If you need support, post the topmost build error, and the call stack if relevant.
 * A complete build log is located at '/var/tmp/portage/net-misc/radvd-1.1/temp/build.log'.
 * The ebuild environment file is located at '/var/tmp/portage/net-misc/radvd-1.1/temp/environm
ent'.

corresponding build.log file:

***** automake *****
***** PWD: /var/tmp/portage/net-misc/radvd-1.1/work/radvd-1.1
***** automake --add-missing --copy --foreign
 
configure.in:21: version mismatch.  This is Automake 1.10.2,
configure.in:21: but the definition used by this AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE
configure.in:21: comes from Automake 1.9.6.  You should recreate
configure.in:21: aclocal.m4 with aclocal and run automake again.
configure.in: installing `./ylwrap'



Since I could simple compile the code by hand by calling './configure && make' I tried to remove the line
  eautomake

in the ebuild 'radvd-1.1.ebuild', and it works now.

I can confirm this Bug. It seems to be a problem with WANT_AUTOMAKE='latest'. It compiles fine with
WANT_AUTOMAKE=1.10 emerge -av radvd

  If you haven't set WANT_AUTOMAKE you want eautoreconf.
