Bug 420701 – =x11-libs/agg-2.5-r2 "Failed Running aclocal"

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description yarma 2012-06-11 14:32:55 UTC]

the =x11-libs/agg-2.5-r2 build failed caused to a now deprecated feature (AM_C_PROTOTYPES) used in configure.in

this is the same problem as several other ebuilds, with an easy workaround described in https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=420223#c6
I applied the https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=420223#c11 fix to this ebuild and now it compile fine !


As the latest official release of agg occured in 2006, I suggest to simply apply the fix in the ebuild and to not wait for an upstream patch ...

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
try to emerge x11-libs/agg
Actual Results:  
failed with a "Failed Running aclocal !" error due to the use of AM_C_PROTOTYPES in configure.in

Expected Results:  
compile fine

Created attachment 315015 [details]
new ebuild with the workaround

just added 

	sed -e "s/^AM_C_PROTOTYPES$/#AM_C_PROTOTYPES/" configure.in > configure.in.new
	mv configure.in.new configure.in

in the src_prepare() section

:roll: again, for clarity sake: 'sed -i'; also, checked if the macro is really unused - that was the case in libmng, but not quite so in a2ps (bug 420503).

Fixed in CVS.
