Description Jaak Ristioja 2006-01-23 21:31:40 UTC
mail-client/mozilla-thunderbird-1.5

configure: error: application: invalid feature name

I guess this is related to such checks in ./configure:

if test -n "`echo $ac_feature| sed 's/[-_a-zA-Z0-9]//g'`"; then

These will not work correctly with Estonian locales (et_EE), because the Estonian alphabet does not end with Z, but with Y:

abcdefghijklmnopqrs

mail-client/mozilla-thunderbird-1.5

configure: error: application: invalid feature name

I guess this is related to such checks in ./configure:

if test -n "`echo $ac_feature| sed 's/[-_a-zA-Z0-9]//g'`"; then

These will not work correctly with Estonian locales (et_EE), because the Estonian alphabet does not end with Z, but with Y:

abcdefghijklmnopqrsztuvwõäöüxy

Therefore some common English letters like tuvwxy do not fall into the range a-z. To circumvent this, one must set another locale in /etc/env.d/02locales, run "env-update" and "source /etc/profile". Using something like "LC_ALL=C emerge mozilla-thunderbird" won't work.

emerge output

I already stated the exact error, but just in case, this is the whole "emerge --oneshot mozilla-firefox" output.

This is probably the same as https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=120133

Some other packages (eg sys-devel/binutils-2.16.1) also seem to have the same problem.

i'm wondering if i should integrate this into portage for autopatching of autoconf-2.1x scripts ...

Would it be a realistic goal?

Using the patch sys-devel/flex/files/flex-configure-LANG.patch after src_unpack seems to fix the issue for mozilla-firefox-1.5.0.1-r1. It configured properly. I haven't the time to fully compile firefox or thunderbird today, but the flex patch might just work for both of them.

1.5 no longer in portage, RIP. Closing.
