emerge --info output

Graphviz 2.40.1 fails to emerge.

Running autogen in the work folder derives similar libtoolize related failure messages to emerge & something about 'it would be nice if you added something about m4 to your configure.am' but ignoring autogen and just running configure && make completes.

It throws a lot of warnings about data types being converted, but otherwise rolls on through & exits cleanly.

---
libtoolize: Remember to add 'LTDL_INIT' to configure.ac.
libtoolize: Consider adding 'AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIRS([../m4])' to configure.ac,
libtoolize: and rerunning libtoolize and aclocal.

Comment 2 Erik 2018-08-08 10:32:20 UTC
Is this failing because libtoolize can't find generic placeholder templates?

I have set:

INSTALL_MASK="TODO* COPYING* CREDITS* TODO* NEWS* ANNOUNCE* AUTHORS* CHANGES*"

and had README in there too until a package actually put information with production utility in it one time.

YUP!

Now works for me with:

INSTALL_MASK="TODO* CREDITS* NEWS* ANNOUNCE* AUTHORS* CHANGES*"

emerge -1eO libtool

emerge -1 media-gfx/graphviz

The ebuild runs autotools with a lot of forced addition of meaningless placeholder template documents...

...and dies if they can't be found.

Please reopen if this is still happening
