Hello Timothy,
(bug-gnulib: FYI - maybe clarify the canonical gnulib source location)
I noticed 2 issues in your Gnulib Gentoo package:
- The package is built from the CVS sources. Please note that
development moved to Git, so the CVS sources are now outdated.
Check: http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=gnulib.git
- The package uses a wrapper in /usr/bin/gnulib-tool to
/usr/share/gnulib/gnulib-tool. Unfortunately this wrapper does a:
cd "/usr/share/gnulib"
thus gnulib-tool is executed from /usr/share/gnulib instead of the
source package location, which fails with a puzzling:
/path/to/mysource$ sh ./boostrap
gnulib-tool: *** cannot find ./configure.ac
This was reported for my project by Alexander, and you can find
another report for Guile at:
