Our favorite weekly hot bug again, this time the fix: # braindead check in configure fails - hack approach epatch ${FILESDIR}/unixODBC-2.2.6-configure.in.patch +libtoolize --copy --force autoconf || die "autoconf failed" works too to get around the initial warning. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge unixODBC Actual Results: Failing unixODBC Expected Results: Installing unixODBC
I get the exact same issue with lirc (bug #74911)
I have the same problem with unixODBC-2.2.8, but the posted solution doesn't seem to work for me. I tried <pre> # libtoolize --copy --force # autoconf || die "autoconf failed" </pre> This is with libtool 1.5.10. I also tried the epatch solution, but I don't have the epatch program. What package provides that? In any case, emerge unixODBC claims it's already applying that patch.
Michael S: I hope you changed it in the right ebuild, it doesn't work on the 'prompt'. (yeah it does... but then you are working with the ebuild program itself blah blah blah).
Michael S: Stefan meant that you need to change the ebuild file, adding libtoolize --copy --force just above the line that reads autoconf || die "autoconf failed" The quickie HOWTO at http://www.gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Create_an_Updated_Ebuild may provide some insight. Ole (Posting in the bugreport instead of simply mailing, because the libtoolize thing has bitten me on several different ebuilds and it took me a little googlethrashing to find the howto after reading the various fix suggestions.)
rphillips, what's the deal with this one? I'd be glad to fix it if you don't have the time.
Fixed. Thanks for the report.
