Re: gentoo ebuild question

Hi David,

Thanks for your response.

"automake --version" reported 1.8.5; also, "emerge -s automake" showed
that 1.9 was installed.  My problem seemed to be with am-wrapper.pl

There was no mention of 1.9 in the am-wrapper file (or 1.8 for that
matter) so it just fell back to old reliable.  To resolve this, I
modified the file so it looks for 1.9 when it is set through
WANT_AUTOMAKE.  I know this is a gentoo issue (not sablevm), but
thought you might be curious in case you get any other questions.  I'm
not sure what part of gentoo is responsible for updating that file,
but it looks like it wasn't done on my system.

Also, I don't know if it is possible to test for CFLAGS set in
make.conf in an ebuild (I've only copied existing ones), but sablevm
failed to compile with -03 (which is what my make.conf file uses for
default).  When I changed it to -02 it compiled just fine though.

Thanks, again, for your help.  I look foward to experimenting with SableVM.

Kevin
