Bug 289401 – Convert eselect-python to use automake

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Jonathan Callen (RETIRED) 2009-10-16 22:06:11 UTC]

This patch converts eselect-python to use automake, fixing a couple of issues with builds on odd systems, and, incidentally, should fix the issue with ASFLAGS.

convert to automake

Before applying this patch, you should run:
    svn mv python.eselect python.eselect.in
    svn rm Makefile.in

After applying, run
    svn add Makefile.am

Please apply this patch.  eselect-python doesn't compile on as 32-bit our multilib setup at the moment, because we set ASFLAGS globally, and eselect-python passes it to gcc as-is.

As stated in the man page:

########
  If you are invoking as via the GNU C compiler, you can use the -Wa option to pass arguments through to the assembler. The assembler arguments must be separated from each other (and the -Wa) by commas. For example:

  gcc -c -g -O -Wa,-alh,-L file.c
########

So eselect-python's Makefile.in either needs to parse ASFLAGS and change spaces to commas, or more simply, be converted to use automake.

Automake creates unnecessarily overcomplicated Makefile.in files.
I will rather just remove using of ASFLAGS.

This was now over 2 weeks ago, any progress?

eselect-python-20111108 uses automake.
