I just did a fresh jhbuild and it failed on colord with the following problem: [jhbuild] muelli@bigbox ~/svn/gnome2/colord [±:master?] $ ./autogen.sh Copying file po/Makefile.in.in autoreconf:

You've not got pkg-config installed. Did you actually run "jhbuild build gnome-color-manager" or just "jhbuild buildone gnome-color-manager" ?
I do have pkg-config installed. [jhbuild] muelli@bigbox ~/svn/gnome2/colord [±:master?] $ type -a pkg-config pkg-config is /usr/bin/pkg-config [jhbuild] muelli@bigbox ~/svn/gnome2/colord [±:master?] $ pkg-config --version 0.25 [jhbuild] muelli@bigbox ~/svn/gnome2/colord [±:master?] $ And I did a jhbuild build evolution (or so), not a buildone. And prior to that, I did a bootstrap.
needless to say that packages before colord built just fine. The situation seems to be that aclocal doesn't find the pkg.m4 which, on my system, is at /usr/share/aclocal/. stracing autogen.sh doesn't show this directory to be searched. I don't know whose bug it i, but I consider it a bug, because I took my F14 system and just did a jhbuild bootstrap && jhbuild build and I would have it expected to just work^tm. So it could be jhbuilds fault not setting up the environment correctly. It could be colord's fault, since it's the first pacakge to fail. It could be aclocal's fault by not respecting my system's aclocal directory. The workaround for now is to put /usr/share/aclocal in /opt/gnome2/share/aclocal/dirlist

Yup, I can't reproduce. Adding /usr/share/aclocal in /opt/gnome/share/aclocal/dirlist seems like a good workaround.
Let me reopen and reassign to jhbuild. They might decide to not consider this as their bug, but I do think that it is someones bug ;-)
Created attachment 211126 [details] [review] Honor aclocal flags 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. 116 GNOME modules have Makefile.am as per patch.
Review of attachment 211126 [details] [review]: Looks good, thanks!
jhbuild sets ACLOCAL_PATH for some time now, so no additional effort is required here.
