here's some notes for you devs ... use autotools.eclass and set the WANT |
| 10 |
variables and the eclass should take care of DEPEND for you |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
need autoconf-2.13 (oh god why) ? then do this: |
| 13 |
WANT_AUTOCONF=2.1 |
| 14 |
inherit autotools |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
how about automake-1.7 ? then do this: |
| 17 |
WANT_AUTOMAKE=1.7 |
| 18 |
WANT_AUTOCONF=2.1 |
| 19 |
inherit autotools |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
dont care what version, you just want the latest ? then do this: |
| 22 |
WANT_AUTOMAKE=latest |
| 23 |
WANT_AUTOCONF=latest |
| 24 |
inherit autotools |
| 25 |
the autotools eclass will mung "latest" into the correct values |
