Bug 41821 – fam 2.7.0 in build of kde 3.2 fails on autoconf

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

[Description Jonathan Lassoff 2004-02-16 13:17:43 UTC]

When using "emerge kde" to make and install kde 3.2.0, one dependency I need is fam 2.7.0. When emerge gets to it, it goes through one configure, does some shell stuff that goes to fast to see, and then goes through another configure and afterwards goes through some mroe shell stuff and fails on running a program called "missing" in the fam-2.7.0/work directory. The output looks like this:

configure: creating ./config.status
cd . && /bin/sh ./config.status Makefile 
config.status: creating Makefile
cd . && /bin/sh /var/tmp/portage/fam-2.7.0/work/fam-2.7.0/missing --run autoheader
/usr/bin/autoheader-2.58: unrecognized option `--language=autoconf'
Try `/usr/bin/autoheader-2.58 --help' for more information.
autoheader-2.58: /usr/bin/autoheader-2.58 failed with exit status: 1
make: *** [config.h.in] Error 1

!!! ERROR: app-admin/fam-2.7.0 failed.
!!! Function src_compile, Line 418, Exitcode 2
!!! emake failed

I'm not exactly sure what is going on, but after the first configure, something similar looking works fine. That looks like:

config.status: executing depfiles commands
cd . && /bin/sh /var/tmp/portage/fam-2.7.0/work/fam-2.7.0/missing --run aclocal-1.6 
cd . && \

cd . && /bin/sh /var/tmp/portage/fam-2.7.0/work/fam-2.7.0/missing --run autoconf

hmm is this still a problem ?

[Comment 2 Ronald Hummelink 2004-03-08 18:37:03 UTC]

I had a different problem, also automake related. (aclocal)
Solved by the dnotify enabled fam ebuild, which forces automake 1.5
(probably the trick, not verified, i want dnotify, no removable media on that machine so no issue wether that is fixed or not)

The error reported in this bug is probably caused by the usage of autob0rk 1.6 ;)
