Hi all,
I am trying to emerge gimp-9999, I know this is a live version and it is not supported by devs, but I think that should be a problem with the ebuild so that's why I report this bug.
Emerging I get this error:

Now type 'make' to compile the GNU Image Manipulation Program.

Hello Yellowhat,


my version of libtool is the same.  With neither portage 2.1.10.65 nor 2.1.11.31 I get the error.  Would it be too much too ask to try with portage 2.1.11.31, the latest testing version?

[Comment 2 Vasco Gervasi 2012-11-07 20:42:04 UTC]

Downgrade portage to 2.1.11.31 and remerge gimp-9999 = same error.

Alright, thanks.

My impression is that libtoolize is call twice in the process (by ./autogen.sh and by gnome's call to elibtoolize) and that may be part of the problem.

Other things you could try:
- add debbugging statements to the libtool eclass (e.g. "set -x")
- replace the call to ./autogen.sh by eautoreconf, something else or nothing

So, do you have an ebuild to test?

Sorry, no.  I cannot reproduce here and have no good clue of what is going on.

Can I try to change anything?
Will be better if you tell me what lines.

Thanks

I found a solution by commenting "gnome2_src_prepare".
This is the ebuild I use: https://raw.github.com/yellowhat/ebuilds/master/media-gfx/gimp/gimp-9999-r1.ebuild.

Thanks for reply

Latest reply two years old, live ebuild just updated, seems to work right now. Daring to close.
