Description Joe Bormolini 2005-05-25 09:57:38 UTC
The gaim extended preferences plugin version 0.4 does not compile due to a bug
in its Makefile related to libtool and the quoting of a string.

A new Makefile is on the gaim-extprefs page
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1197965&group_id=107659&atid=648310

This bug only occurs with libtool versions greater than 1.5.14. The patched
Makefile only works with libtool versions greater than 1.5.14, but this should
not be a problem because 1.5.16 is the latest stable version in portage.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge =x11-plugins/gaim-extprefs-0.4
2.
3.

Actual Results:
