Comment 2 Alexandre Rostovtsev (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-05-07 21:29:56 UTC
vapier: this bug is due your change to eaclocal in autotools.eclass, CVS commit 1.74 (and due to the fact that g-wrap makefiles are a mess).

As a result, *all* versions of g-wrap in the tree currently fail to compile.

You might want to look out whether other packages in portage are similarly affected.
Comment 3 Alexandre Rostovtsev (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-05-07 22:02:06 UTC
***Devs: please change the bug component to "Eclasses and Profiles"!


The -I ../config error is trivial to fix.

The hard problem is that g-wrap uses the following construct in its Makefile.am:

ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS = -I m4 @ACLOCAL_FLAGS@

where ACLOCAL_FLAGS is set by configure. The new behaviour for eaclocal is to automatically scan for ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS in Makefile.am and Makefile.in, so this is a major problem; the obvious workarounds are either ugly (shuffling Makefile.am's and Makefile.in's in and out of backup directories) or far too much work (rewriting the g-wrap build system).

IMHO, the solution is to patch autotools.eclass so that the list of files that eaclocal scans for ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS would be a variable. So the ebuild could call something like

AT_AMFLAGS_FILES="" AT_M4DIR="${S}/m4" eautoreconf
Comment 4 Alexandre Rostovtsev (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-05-07 23:13:41 UTC
Created attachment 152399 [details, diff]
patch for autotools.eclass

Patch to make the list of files that eaclocal scans for ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS be editable via the AT_AMFLAGS_FILES variable (i.e. setting AT_AMFLAGS_FILES="" would make eaclocal behave like it did before April 22 2008)
Comment 5 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2008-05-10 09:21:14 UTC
i cant see how it works properly regardless of autotools.eclass ... in fact, a quick test over here shows that it indeed doesnt work at all:
$ autoreconf
aclocal-1.10: unrecognized option `@ACLOCAL_FLAGS@'
aclocal-1.10: Try `/usr/bin/aclocal-1.10 --help' for more information.
autoreconf-2.61: aclocal failed with exit status: 1

fix the makefiles in question
Comment 6 roma1390 2008-05-14 07:27:08 UTC
Still doesn't build for me. (this means I can reproduce it too)
Comment 7 Christian Schmidt 2008-05-24 06:09:53 UTC
cd ${S}
ln -s m4 config
find . -name Makefile.in -o -name Makefile.am -exec sed -i s/@ACLOCAL_FLAGS@//g {} \;

"works for me" (TM)
Comment 8 Billy DeVincentis 2008-06-11 23:54:49 UTC
The above patch didn't work for me either. Can someone please provide a fixed ebuild that will actually emerge successfully? Or even better provide a folder ready to put in an overlay?
Comment 9 Pedro Ferreira 2008-06-20 00:32:47 UTC
Christian Schmidt's patch worked OK for me, but it would be cool if someone could fix the ebuild in portage.

Thankyou

Worked for me.

I used the script to build g-wrap-1.9.6-r3 without error messages. I changed only the KEYWORDS to match version 1.9.6-r3.

v1.9.9 ebuild worked for me.
Thank you!
Comment 13 Marijn Schouten (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-10-31 14:34:40 UTC
does this problem occur for 1.9.11?

And for me.

Thanks a lot!

Comment 15 Paul Jewell 2009-01-24 08:10:30 UTC
I can also report success using the ebuild with g-wrap-1.9.6-r3, having changed the KEYWORDS line.

Thanks very much!
Comment 16 Joseph 2009-04-06 01:49:58 UTC
What KEYWORDS are you folks referring to?
the version: g-wrap-1.9.6-r3.ebuild has:
KEYWORDS="alpha amd64 ppc sparc x86"

version: g-wrap-1.9.9.ebuild (posted here has:)
KEYWORDS="~alpha ~amd64 ~hppa ~ppc ~ppc64 ~sparc ~x86"

I'm having problem as well after upgrading to gcc-4.3.2-r3
