Relibtoolize
Hi, I am trying to update the fast-user-switch-applet package[1] to the latest release for GNOME 2.16. My sponsor asked me to relibtoolize the package, and until now, I got no problems using these[2] links[3] as guidelines. With the 2.16.0 release, however, I have some errors when running configure: ... /tmp/buildd/fast-user-switch-applet-2.16.0/./configure: line 2488: syntax error near unexpected token `0.35.0' /tmp/buildd/fast-user-switch-applet-2.16.0/./configure: line 2488: `IT_PROG_INTLTOOL(0.35.0)' ... When commenting the line 2488, there are other errors: ... /tmp/buildd/fast-user-switch-applet-2.16.0/./configure: line 23290: syntax error near unexpected token `maximum' /tmp/buildd/fast-user-switch-applet-2.16.0/./configure: line 23290: `GNOME_COMPILE_WARNINGS(maximum)' ... As the upstream uses autoconf 2.59, I have tried downgrading my autoconf package, without success. Is there something I could do to fix these issues? I am unfortunately not familiar with autotools... My relibtoolize.patch is available from https://svn.kirya.net/filedetails.php?repname=fast-user-switch-appletpath=%2Ftrunk%2Fdebian%2Fpatches%2F40_relibtoolize.patchrev=75sc=0 Thanks in advance for your help!

When updating aclocal.m4, you probably dropped some macros. You can find out by comparing the outputs of the grep command in http://people.dooz.org/~lool/debian/relibtoolize before and after calling aclocal. This is usually a consequence of missing a -I flag to aclocal, or a broken upstream tarball (in this case, install the Debian holding the macros, here intltool).

I had tried looking for the package containing the macros but couldn't find a good way to do it... and hadn't thought it could simply be intltool :-( Thanks for your help, I will submit you an updated package shortly. Should I target experimental although there are no new dependencies? The updated package installs and runs fine in unstable...

Thanks for your help, I will submit you an updated package shortly. Should I target experimental although there are no new dependencies? The updated package installs and runs fine in unstable... In such a case, decision to ship a 2.16 module can be taken individually, but I would upload to experimental myself for consistency, unless the 2.16 release is safe (no fancy or risky additions), and fixes bugs that no 2.14 releases fixes.

You could use autoreconf -vfi in the future. It should do the right thing automatically. Cheers, Michael -- Why is it that all of the instruments seeking intelligent life in the universe are pointed away from Earth? signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

It doesn't use the same version as upstream does, and hence creates big diffs. Besides, it calls all auto* tools, not just the one needed for relibtoolizing. But, yes, it should result in an usable patch. -- Loïc Minier [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
