Bug 226545 – dev-db/unixODBC: autoconf/autoreconf/automake/libtool called directly

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Diego Elio Pettenò (RETIRED) 2008-06-14 11:44:28 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

It's a bit sad.
Look at the ebuild I dropped in bug 221879.
It does solve this problem.

[Comment 2 Christian Hoffmann (RETIRED) 2008-06-14 20:16:25 UTC]

I don't see what the problem is here. I neither see explicit calls to autotools in the ebuild, nor do I see indirect invocations by maintainer mode (as you blogged about it) or similar. A grep for "missing --run" in build.log didn't show anything.

Don't know what to do here, CC'ing dev-zero as he fixed the bug mentioned by Rafał Mużyło.

in which one ?
There are none in 2.2.11-r1, but but in 2.2.12...

[Comment 4 Christian Hoffmann (RETIRED) 2008-06-14 22:57:46 UTC]

I tested 2.2.12.

Well:

Ok, this is hopefully fixed. Thanks Rafał for jogging my memory, I really missed that line. I also borrowed the autopoint -f line from the other bug, which you mentioned.
