Bug 226417 – media-video/camstream: autoconf/autoreconf/automake/libtool called directly

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Diego Elio Pettenò (RETIRED) 2008-06-13 20:22:02 UTC]

Please never call autotools directly, instead use eautoreconf (or eautomake, and JUST THESE TWO) from autotools.eclass. If you have any reason why those don't work, please let me know to fix them.

Thanks,
Diego

I think it was because of

----------------------------------------

checking for correct ltmain.sh version... no
configure: error:

*** [Gentoo] sanity check failed! ***
*** libtool.m4 and ltmain.sh have a version mismatch! ***
*** (libtool.m4 = 1.5.26, ltmain.sh = 1.5) ***

Please run:

  libtoolize --copy --force

if appropriate, please contact the maintainer of this
package (or your distribution) for help.

make: *** [config.status] Error 1

when I remove the line you are talking about.
------------------------------------

Since I have hardly any idea of how libtoolize works, I would be glad if you could check this problem.

Fixed this one, it's actually quite easy, you just need to run eautoreconf, once, without setting WANT_* stuff (as it works fine with latest), no libtoolize, no elibtoolize, no for statement to run it in the subdirectory (it's recursive by default).

Thank you very much!
