I'm sorry to just post this excerpt of the build log, but I fixed this in my tree and I'm trying to catch my system back up with the portage tree. `` checking for working do while(0) macros... yes checking for ISO C99 varargs macros in C... yes checking for ISO C99 varargs macros in C++... yes checking for GNUC varargs macros... yes checking for GNUC visibility attribute... ./configure: line 30513: syntax error: unexpected end of file !!! Please attach the following file when seeking support: !!! /var/tmp/portage/dev-libs/glib-2.20.5-r1/work/glib-2.20.5/config.log * ERROR: dev-libs/glib-2.20.5-r1 failed: '' The problem is demonstrated in the ./configure excerpt I will attach. The problem is fixed by http://git.gnome.org/browse/glib/commit/?id=c24f6e55276fac68b08df34b0d350f65afe994d9 . It looks like this problem may only affect people who are selectively unstable rather than completely unstable (glib-2.22* is probably fixed; I checked that glib-2.22.4's acglib.m4 file has the fix). It would be nice if this fix was backported in case if autoconf-2.65 is stablized before glib, I suppose...
Created attachment 222039 [details] /tmp/glib-2.20.5-acglib.m4-configure-excerpt.txt This ./configure excerpt was post-processed using emac's indentation feature to help me find the problem and to better demonstrate it. Look for the string ``fiac_compile'' on line 62. That's supposed to be ``fi ac_compile''. There's a newline that's eaten by a ``dnl'' m4 command which is removed in the git commit (linked above).
glib-2.22 is already stable on amd64/x86, I don't see why we should touch 2.20 versions. See bug 304777
Closing fixed, please upgrade. Thanks
