Description Todd Goodman 2011-03-24 14:16:04 UTC

=app-editors/vim-7.3.135 fails with error Makefile:297: auto/config.mk: No such file or directory just as with app-editors/vim-core-7.3.135 (Bug 360127)

The same workaround I used for Bug 360127 works for me with vim as well:

Changing to /var/tmp/portage/app-editors/vim-7.3.135/work/vim73/src and
doing a "cp config.mk.dist auto/config.mk" creates the required file (auto/config.mk.)

Then an "ebuild /usr/portage/app-editors/vim/vim-7.3.135.ebuild
configure compile install postinst qmerge" seems to work for me.

One way to fix it might be to add a "[ -f src/auto/config.mk ] || cp
src/config.mk.dist src/auto/config.mk in /usr/portage/eclass/vim.eclass at line
378 (before the "make -j1 -C src autoconf || die "make autoconf failed"" line.

But I leave particulars up to people who know much more than I...

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.emerge vim
2.
3.
Actual Results:  
Failed with the error message above

Expected Results:  
A shiny new vim
