Created attachment 74817 [details] Configure log, requested This is de configure log emerge requested me to attach...
Looking at the output, the problem is that the the build process passes a spurious argument to the configure command. By adding in 'CHOST=...' in at the wrong place, configure belives this to be a the rest of the '--build' declaration. Nulling CHOST has no effect, as the build process still passes a spurious CHOST argument. Nothing in the ebuild for expect seems to indicate that the ebuild is doing this. Is there a bug in econf?
Bumping this. Since I have the same problem, and no one appears to be looking at this.
*** Bug 191187 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Is this bug valid anymore or the problem was resolved? if yes please close this bug, if not please leave additional info
expect-5.43.0 had its configure script built with autoconf-2.13 which has many known bugs. i wouldnt be surprised if this was one such bug. current stable (expect-5.44.1.15) uses autoconf-2.59, so unless you can reproduce with that (or a newer version), assuming fixed.
