I am trying to emerge paconf that requires gconfmm but emerge fails with this error:

checking whether to enable maintainer-specific portions of Makefiles... no
./configure: line 2501: syntax error near unexpected token `scripts'
./configure: line 2501: `AL_ACLOCAL_INCLUDE(scripts)'

Quoth Bugzilla:

[bug=159987]stable =dev-cpp/gconfmm-2.12.0 shouldn't run eautoreconf and it dies on configure[/bug]

Thank you, then I will wait until it is fixed.

You could unmask a higher version, though that would probably require a bunch of other packages to be unmasked.

sucks.... in the middle of emerge -eav world

didymos · Post by **didymos** » Sun Jan 21, 2007 9:22 pm

There's a way around that, though some would probably tell you not to do this. Anyway, if you're in the middle of a huge emerge like that and it dies, make a copy of /var/cache/edb/mtimedb. Then you can fix the problem, emerging other stuff if needed. Once that's finished, put the mtimedb copy back into /var/cache/edb, then do "emerge --resume --skipfirst". You may need to kill it and repeat the "emerge --resume --skipfirst" if it tries to install a package you upgraded when fixing the problem. A somewhat better way is to do "emerge -ep world" and redirect the output to a file. Then you can strip out everything except the <category>/<package> parts with sed or your preferred editor. Once that's finished, you can use xargs with the file (call it empty-world.list):

Code: Select all

xargs -a empty-world.list emerge -va

If it dies, just edit the file and delete every line up to and including the failed package, fix the problem, then repeat the xargs command. That way, if a package updated when fixing the problem gets re-emerged, you won't need to worry about accidentally downgrading. Oh, and you want to keep the category when you edit the list because sometimes package names are the same, and emerge will just quit because it can't figure out which package from which category you want to install.

Just build it manually.

First emerge version 2.16.0 and download the source of version 2.12.0 by doing:

Code: Select all

ACCEPT_KEYWORDS=~x86 emerge =dev-cpp/gconfmm-2.16.0
emerge -f =dev-cpp/gconf-2.12.0

Install 2.12.0 manually (this should work):

Code: Select all

cd /usr/portage/distfiles/
tar xvfj gconfmm-2.12.0.tar.bz2
cd gconfmm-2.12.0
./configure && make && make install

Then do the following:

Code: Select all

cd /var/db/pkg/dev-cpp/
cp -r gconfmm-2.16.0 gconfmm-2.12.0
cd gconfmm-2.12.0
mv gconfmm-2.16.0 gconfmm-2.12.0
cd gconfmm-2.12.0
mv gconfmm-2.16.0.ebuild gconfmm-2.12.0.ebuild

Now you can unmerge version 2.16.0 again.

Might be a bit dirty, but it works and you can continue your worldupdate that can't be made because of the buildfailure that version 2.12.0 caused.

Cool, solved same problem for me ;)

Just note that you had one extra cd in your code ... it should be -

Code: Select all

cd /var/db/pkg/dev-cpp/
cp -r gconfmm-2.16.0 gconfmm-2.12.0
mv gconfmm-2.16.0 gconfmm-2.12.0
cd gconfmm-2.12.0
mv gconfmm-2.16.0.ebuild gconfmm-2.12.0.ebuild

Instead of waiting or hacking to fix the problem, just edit the ebuild and remove the eautoreconf and replace it with:
libtoolize --force --copy

Then use ebuild to rebuild the digest as usual.
This seems to fix the problem and it builds without error. This is mentioned in the buzilla article above.

--EDIT--
Disregard this change, actually the better alternative is just to change the line with eautoreconf to:
AT_M4DIR="scripts" eautoreconf

This solves the problem. But now I struggle with compile problems with gnome-vfsmm with no answers from thread http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-527750.html

--EDIT--
Solved that problem too related article:
http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-509804.html

I've posted an updated ebuild in bugzilla, please check there for the fix:
