+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #161518 +++ When compiling gnome-sharp-2.16.0 the compile fails due to usage of automake 1.10. The relevant output is: --- snip --- * Running automake --add-missing --copy ... [ !! ] * Failed Running automake ! * * Include in your bugreport the contents of: * * /var/tmp/portage/gnome-sharp-2.16.0/temp/automake-16603.out !!! ERROR: dev-dotnet/gnome-sharp-2.16.0 failed. Call stack: ebuild.sh, line 1546: Called dyn_unpack ebuild.sh, line 708: Called src_unpack ebuild.sh, line 1255: Called gtk-sharp-component_src_unpack gtk-sharp-component.eclass, line 144: Called eautoreconf autotools.eclass, line 94: Called eautomake autotools.eclass, line 195: Called autotools_run_tool 'automake' '--add-missing' '--copy' autotools.eclass, line 256: Called die !!! Failed Running automake ! !!! If you need support, post the topmost build error, and the call stack if relevant. --- snip --- This prevents almost all serious c# projects to be build on the gentoo platform. The automake step completes without problem, when automake-1.9.6 is used. Suggested fix: The easiest way to force usage of automake-1.9.6 is to edit the ebuild and add: WANT_AUTOMAKE="1.9.6" to it. You have to run: "ebuild <name/of/changed/ebuild> digest" afterwards. Unfortunately these changes will be lost with the next portage sync. You might want to create a local overlay to circumvent this problem. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Compile dev-dotnet/gnome-sharp-2.16.0 Actual Results: The compile fails. Expected Results: Compile is expected to succeed!
I was just informed, that "1.9.6" is not a legal value. (Although it compiles just fine with that line) You have to change the line given above to: WANT_AUTOMAKE="1.9"
Fixed in bug #161093. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 161093 ***
