Last modified: 2021-07-05 12:26:31 UTC
When building gnome-video-effect using JHBuild with buildroot set to different one from checkoutroot, it fails at configure stage with the following message: ---8<--- /home/thep/vcs/gnome_git/gnome-video-effects/autogen.sh --prefix /home/gnome3 --libdir '/home/gnome3/lib64' --disable-static --disable-gtk-doc --disable-silent-rules /home/gnome3/bin/gnome-autogen.sh checking for autoconf >= 2.53... testing autoconf2.50... found 2.69 checking for automake >= 1.9... testing automake-1.12... not found. testing automake-1.11... found 1.11.6 checking for intltool >= 0.25... testing intltoolize... found 0.50.2 Checking for required M4 macros...

GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org. As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately quite limited so not every ticket can get handled). If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent and supported software version, then please follow https://wiki.gnome.org/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines and create a new ticket at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-video-effects/-/issues/ Thank you for your understanding and your help.
