Gentle ping.

A rebase to the latest portaudio upstream was pending, I've just merged that into rawhide.

So now I tried to "to rebuild new version of package against autoconf-2.71 is to create a pull-request against your dist-git repository" but if I go here:

https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/odubaj/autoconf-2.70/package/portaudio/

And then click on the "Dist Git Repo" link on the packages tab I get a 404 :|

Can you try a new build with autoconf-2.71 against the rawhide branch from dist-git ?

Never mind I see now that copr automatically tries to do a new build for each commit pushed to the rawhide branch on distgit and that it failed for the rebased version to.

The error is:

configure: error: cannot find required auxiliary files: ltmain.sh compile missing
configure: error: ./configure failed for bindings/cpp

This is for a separate ./configure run for the bindings/cpp sub-project.

The .spec runs autoreconf -i -f and that says:

Notice how it says:

libtoolize: putting auxiliary files in '../..'.
libtoolize: copying file '../../ltmain.sh'

and:

libtoolize: putting auxiliary files in '.'.
libtoolize: copying file './ltmain.sh'

Just as it does for autoconf-2.69

I guess I could try setting AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIRS([m4]) in both portaudio/configure.in and portaudio/bindings/cpp/configure.ac and then perhaps they will both get their own portaudio/m4 resp portaudio/bindings/cpp/m4 dir and that will work better with autoconf-2.71 ?

That might solve the issue. For testing the best way is to download mock config and test the changes locally, see here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Autoconf_271#How_To_Test.

Also looking at common fialures and fixed might help (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1SAGTJZEF9z_nkHMbXTF-YTTvKRja7ygfOOMzl-DYBSk/edit)

I just tried a mockbuild with AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIRS([m4]) added to both configure.in/.ac files and this does not help.

I've also taken a look at the mentioned "common fialures and fixes" doc and this case is not mentioned there.

I'm in no way an autoconf / libtool expert to I'm afraid that I'm going to need some help with getting this fixed.

I would personally try the following fixes:

https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/ORBit2/c/3e373f9fbcd4f4a31eda656df590d78de1595fa9?branch=rawhide 
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/SDL_Pango/c/a8662b2c999beec3ebfd11350bb9ac8703ebed61?branch=rawhide 
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/openchange/c/8231ec4c2e7e0c701982fe441a858ecf721fa07e?branch=rawhide 

and see if one of them will somehow work (maybe with some small modifications). The problem resolved by these fixes is very similar to your problem. So I will at least give it a chance.

Thanks.

Hi, any updates to this issue please ? Did you manage to create a patch ?

Thanks.

I have not had time to look into this; and to be honest I don't see myself having time to work on this anytime soon.

If you can take a try at fixing this yourself then that would be great.

The patch is quite straight-forward

Can you please backport it to fedora? I do not think it worth creating a pull-request.

Thanks.

Ondrey, thank you for the quick answer, but the .spec already has a "autoreconf -i -f" call in %setup and last time I tried a mockbuild against a mockcfg generated with:

copr mock-config odubaj/autoconf-2.70 fedora-rawhide-x86_64

It failed with the following error:

configure: error: cannot find required auxiliary files: ltmain.sh compile missing
configure: error: ./configure failed for bindings/cpp

As mentioned in more detail in comment 3.

I've done another fedpkg mockbuild in case something was fixed in rawhide since my previous attempt, but it still fails this way:

=== configuring in bindings/cpp (/builddir/build/BUILD/portaudio/bindings/cpp)
configure: running /bin/sh ./configure ...
configure: error: cannot find required auxiliary files: ltmain.sh compile missing
configure: error: ./configure failed for bindings/cpp

Huh, I tried with your change and now it does work, that is weird.

Ok, this is weird. I've run a couple of mockbuilds and the trick that:

autoreconf -fi

Needs to run twice for things to work, whether it is run from %setup or %install and written as "autoreconf -fi" or "autoreconf -i -f" does not appear to matter. The trick is it needs to run twice.

I can add this as a workaround for now, but this feels like it is a bug in autoreconf ?

So how do you want to proceed with this ?

I neither do not understand this. Let me investigate this more deeply, as I do not know the package. I don't think it is a bug in autoconf, as there are hundreds of packages working properly with autoreconf -fi.

I have no idea what is going on there, I see backuping the configure and multiple strange things in the log. I would choose to use the workaround with using 2x autoreconf and post this issue to upstream to deal with it. Do you agree ?

That works for me, I'll take care of this in the coming days. Thank you for your help with this.

Fixed (with the run autoreconf twice workaround) in rawhide now, closing.
