Created attachment 312623 [details, diff]
patch to call eaclocal unconditionally

On an ~amd64 system with automake-1.11.5:

# emerge zeitgeist-datasources
[...]
>>> Emerging (1 of 1) gnome-extra/zeitgeist-datasources-0.8.0.1
 * zeitgeist-datasources-0.8.0.1.tar.gz RMD160 SHA1 SHA256 size ;-) ...  [ ok ]

 * Running autoconf ...                                                  [ ok ]
 * Running automake --add-missing --copy --foreign ...                   [ !! ]

 * Failed Running automake !
 * 
 * Include in your bugreport the contents of:
 * 
 *   /var/tmp/portage/gnome-extra/zeitgeist-datasources-0.8.0.1/temp/automake.out

automake.out contains the following error:

configure.ac:21: the top level
configure.ac:7: version mismatch.  This is Automake 1.11.5,
configure.ac:7: but the definition used by this AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE
configure.ac:7: comes from Automake 1.11.1.  You should recreate
configure.ac:7: aclocal.m4 with aclocal and run automake again

This is caused by automake-utils.eclass's failure to call eaclocal before eautoconf/eautomake.

The attached patch adds an unconditional eaclocal call and allows zeitgeist-datasources to build.

Patch works here

Comment 2 Flo Gravo 2012-05-22 09:51:20 UTC

Patch also fixes build issues with sci-libs/amd and media-libs/libraw.

Ah, vapier finally removed the dumb eaclocal call from within _elibtoolize(). Committed.
