Error(s) that match a know pattern in addition to what has been reported in the summary:


/var/tmp/portage/net-print/epson-inkjet-printer-escpr-1.2.9/temp/environment: line 614: --with-cupsppddir=/usr/share/ppd: No such file or directory
rlibtool: error logged in slbt_exec_link_create_dep_file(), line 1091: path not found: ./lib/.libs/libescpr2.a.disabled.

In escprlib/Makefile.am the libescpr2_la_SOURCES variable is empty where libescpr2_la_LIBADD contains ./lib/libescpr2.la. However in escprlib/lib/Makefile.am the all target is overwritten.

all:
        rm -fr .libs
        mkdir .libs
        cp lib@ESCPR_LIB_NAME@.a .libs/libescpr2.a

So its not a surprise that slibtool can't find its internal files, but I am not really sure what the intent here was or what to do about it. Perhaps it shouldn't be using libtool at all for these files?
