Hi, Two related things :) 1. I added a plugin to the evolution ebuild, and now the configure script fails with some very straing errors (due to the evolution-2.3.7-configure_plugins.patch ?) such as: checking for EVOLUTION_CALENDAR... yes checking for EVOLUTION_MAIL... yes checking for evolution-data-server IDL... /usr/share/idl/evolution-data-server-1.2/Evolution-DataServer.idl checking for EVOLUTION_TEST... yes configure: error: the specified plugin prefer-plain does not exist ./configure: line 35408: A11Y_CFLAGS: command not found ./configure: line 35409: A11Y_LIBS: command not found ./configure: line 35410: AA: command not found ./configure: line 35411: ACCEPT_KEYWORDS: command not found ./configure: line 35412: ACCEPT_LICENSE: command not found ./configure: line 35413: ACLOCAL: command not found and then hundreds of lines of this "command not found" stuff. I think it's something to do with the patch I mentioned. The plugin does exist, but due to a configure bug (item 2) it's not "seen". However, the patch evolution-2.3.7-configure_plugins.patch is not doing it's intended behaviour of notifying the user nicely. Item 2. Here's a patch to get the prefer-plain plugin compiling nicely again. I submitted it upstream, and it's been included there, so until we get whatever unstable version they've submitted it to, perhaps you could add it to the ebuild? I can't create attachments, so here's the patch bounded by ###'s (I called it configure-plugin.patch, which is coincidentally too closely named to evolution-2.3.7-configure_plugins.patch): ################################## --- configure.in.orig 2006-05-31 16:15:22.000000000 +0930 +++ configure.in 2006-05-31 16:15:25.000000000 +0930 @@ -1439,7 +1439,7 @@ plugins_standard="$plugins_standard_alwa all_plugins_standard="$plugins_standard" plugins_experimental_always="backup-restore folder-unsubscribe mail-to-meeting mail-remote prefer-plain save-attachments" -plugins_experimental="$plugins_experimental $IPOD_SYNC" +plugins_experimental="$plugins_experimental_always $IPOD_SYNC" all_plugins_experimental="$plugins_experimental_always ipod-sync" case x"$enable_plugins" in ################################## comments welcome.
there is not enough information in this bug. some things that are missing: 1. upstream bug report link. 2. what version of evolution you applied your patch to. 3. diff of your new revision of the evolution ebuild versus ours. please re-open with the requested information, thanks.
Sure :) 1. I didn't submit a bug, I just emailed evolution-patches (it was applied by Harish Krishnaswamy <kharish@novell.com>). You can see it here http://cvs.gnome.org/viewcvs/evolution/configure.in?rev=1.900&view=markup with my name in the comments. 2. Tried it against 2.6.1, 2.6.2, and 2.6.2-r1 (gentoo versions) 3. I haven't fixed the strange behaviour of the evolution-2.3.7-configure_plugins.patch, so I don't have a diff of that. Here is my ebuild, (diffed against 2.6.2-r1) which simply adds prefer-plain (which you may or may not want to do in the official ebuild), and my patch, called configure-plugin.patch, which you may want to rename to avoid confusion with the other evolution-2.3.7-configure_plugins.patch: ###################################### --- /usr/portage/mail-client/evolution/evolution-2.6.2-r1.ebuild 2006-07-02 06:08:51.000000000 +0930 +++ /usr/local/portage/mail-client/evolution/evolution-2.6.2-r1.ebuild 2006-07-07 10:04:50.000000000 +0930 @@ -105,5 +105,5 @@ bbdb subject-thread save-calendar select-one-source copy-tool \ mail-to-task mark-calendar-offline audio-inline mailing-list-actions \ - new-mail-notify default-mailer import-ics-attachments" + new-mail-notify default-mailer import-ics-attachments prefer-plain" if use bogofilter; then @@ -141,4 +141,6 @@ gnome2_omf_fix help/omf.make + epatch ${FILESDIR}/configure-plugin.patch + # Accept the list of plugins separated by commas instead of spaces. epatch ${FILESDIR}/${PN}-2.3.7-configure_plugins.patch @@ -152,5 +154,5 @@ # Fix --as-needed - epatch ${FILESDIR}/${P}-as-needed.patch + epatch ${FILESDIR}/${P}-as-needed.patch eaclocal || die ###################################### Sorry about the bad bug report :)
just signaling it's activated in the gnome-experimental, so it should it portage with gnome 2.16 release.
closing cause it works in gnome 2.16 release :)
