Bug 279482 – Latest(!) KDE 3 admin/ directories fail rebuild with autoconf 2.64

• Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Diego Elio Pettenò (RETIRED) 2009-07-28 14:48:34 UTC]

Have fun, this is nothing new, either update the admin/ directory or get rid of the packages while you're at it. I'll open a bug per package with build logs, but I wanted to have a sub-tracker for them. It seems like they try to use the (internal!) AH_CHECK_HEADERS macro rather than AC_CHECK_HEADERS, which has been renamed.

Thanks,
Diego

Hah, just noticed it was in kde-base, so with admin/ of 3.5.10… have fun guys! :P

Seems like the problem is the KDE_CHECK_HEADERS macro:

AC_DEFUN([KDE_CHECK_HEADERS],
[
   AH_CHECK_HEADERS([$1])
   AC_LANG_SAVE
   kde_safe_cppflags=$CPPFLAGS
   CPPFLAGS="$CPPFLAGS $all_includes"
   AC_LANG_CPLUSPLUS
   AC_CHECK_HEADERS([$1], [$2], [$3], [$4])
   CPPFLAGS=$kde_safe_cppflags
   AC_LANG_RESTORE
])

I'd sincerely just get rid of the AH_CHECK_HEADERS call, it works fine without that.

KDE 3.5.10 (including kdelibs:3.5) has been removed from Portage. Closing.
