maxima-5.45.1-r4 failure

[strogdon]

emerge --sync pulls in maxima-5.46.0. Now emerge -C @sagemath && emerge -1 @sagemath pulls in maxima-5.45.1-r4 from s-o-g which fails:

 * Failed running 'automake'!
 * 
 * Include in your bug report the contents of:
 * 
 *   /var/tmp/portage/sci-mathematics/maxima-5.45.1-r4/temp/automake.out

From automake.out I have

***** automake *****
***** PWD: /var/tmp/portage/sci-mathematics/maxima-5.45.1-r4/work/maxima-5.45.1
***** automake --add-missing --copy --force-missing

configure.ac:13: error: version mismatch.  This is Automake 1.16.5,
configure.ac:13: but the definition used by this AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE
configure.ac:13: comes from Automake 1.13.4.  You should recreate
configure.ac:13: aclocal.m4 with aclocal and run automake again.

Hum, wonder why I haven't seen that before. It should be a case of running eaclocal before eautoreconf.

So eaclocal is properly run here. Can you show more of what's happening to you like I posted above?

[strogdon]

From configure.ac there is

AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE([-Wno-portability tar-ustar])

Is this OK for automake-1.16.5?

[strogdon]

At the time of the failure I had both automake-1.13.4-r2 and automake-1.16.5 installed. Now the 1.13 slot is hard masked. Why it was not removed I don't know. I removed it and maxima now builds fine.

[kiwifb]

That explains a lot. There was probably a mix up between the version use by eaclocal and eautoreconf. I think we can mark this as closed.
