Description Craig Keogh 2011-02-04 10:54:36 UTC
I'm building gsettings-desktop-schemas via JHBuild. gsettings-desktop-schemas builds successfully. If upstream then updates configure.in, then I run 'make', which attempts a reconfigure, but fails.

This is because JHBuild sets ACLOCAL_FLAGS to include the sandbox (e.g. -I
/opt/gnome/share/aclocal). One may argue it is silly for JHBuild to require
every module to support ACLOCAL_FLAGS, but there isn't a way around it until
automake-1.12 is out - which includes support for ACLOCAL_PATH. Further details
in the JHBuild bug 634617.

The build failure is:

Remove configure.ac ACLOCAL_FLAGS, now in Makefile.am


This patch removes the ACLOCAL_FLAGS support in configure.ac. ACLOCAL_FLAGS
support is in Makefile.am as per attachment 180066 [details] [review]. See
bug 640883 comment 4 by Christian Persch for more information.
Comment 3 Vincent Untz 2011-02-04 11:10:20 UTC
I just fixed it already :-)
