To correct this problem, i added a patch to the ebuild files/1.22 dir

My patch is named /usr/portage/app-emulation/libguestfs/files/1.22/0006_add_AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION.patch

[Comment 3 James Ashley 2014-03-15 22:06:11 UTC]

I just ran into exactly this same problem and the same solution (except that hard-coding the gettext version seems like a bad idea).

I think it goes deeper, though.

After I got past this step, everything still failed because I have neither supermin nor febootstrap installed.

Should that be a separate bug, because a dependency declaration seems to be missing?

[Comment 4 sienaf 2014-03-20 23:39:53 UTC]

This is happening on 1.24.0 as well. Here is the output of /var/tmp/portage/app-emulation/libguestfs-1.24.0/temp/autopoint.out:

***** autopoint *****
***** PWD: /var/tmp/portage/app-emulation/libguestfs-1.24.0/work/libguestfs-1.24.0

[Comment 5 Richard Jones 2014-03-29 12:48:16 UTC]

Just like to put a comment here.  I installed a new Gentoo machine
and was able to compile libguestfs 1.26.0 (from git) with the
binary appliance
http://libguestfs.org/download/binaries/appliance/appliance-1.26.0.tar.xz

It needs:

=sys-devel/bison-2.7.1 ~amd64
=app-emulation/qemu-1.6.1 ~amd64

Configured with:

./autogen.sh \
  --prefix /usr \
  --libdir /usr/lib64 \
  --disable-static \
  --disable-appliance \
  --enable-gcc-warnings \
  -C \
  "$@"

Also set $LIBGUESTFS_PATH to point to the directory where you
unpacked the appliance.

[Comment 6 Erik Mackdanz 2014-04-01 20:14:52 UTC]

I reproduced the issue exactly.

I dropped the patch above into /etc/portage/patches/app-emulation/libguestfs and portage was happy.  Thanks, everyone!

[Comment 7 Thomas Beutin 2014-04-15 09:40:10 UTC]

i can confirm:
- the bug
- the patch works

Tnx!

[Comment 8 Andreis Vinogradovs ( slepnoga ) 2014-07-04 11:56:43 UTC]

fixed in next version, in tree.
