Bug 431186

This failed to build for me:

+ ./autogen.sh
Running autoconf...
./autogen.sh: line 20: autoconf: command not found
You can now run "./configure" and then "make".
+ exit 0

which is kind of surprising because the build didn't fail there.  Instead it
continues until:

+ ./configure --build=x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu --host=x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu
--target=x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu --program-prefix= --prefix=/usr
--exec-prefix=/usr --bindir=/usr/bin --sbindir=/usr/sbin --sysconfdir=/etc
--datadir=/usr/share --includedir=/usr/include --libdir=/usr/lib64
--libexecdir=/usr/libexec --localstatedir=/var --sharedstatedir=/usr/com
--mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info
/var/tmp/rpm-tmp.90648: line 36: ./configure: Permission denied
error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.90648 (%build)

I added a build dependency on automake and things get further, but still fail at:

checking for -litl in /usr/lib/itl... checking for -litl in /usr/lib/... no
library 'itl' is missing
+ make -j8
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop.

Now, libitl-devel is indeed installed, but I'm building on an x86_64 machine so
the library is in /usr/lib64.  I guess the package will need some fixing.

Thanks,

Yeah, seems like it does not check at /usr/lib64. 

Patched configure.in and included a pre-generated configure script together to
remove dependency from autotools.

Are you still here ?
It seems that nobody as formally reviewed this package.
The best tips in this case is to switch packages review with other packagers...

(i could do this if i get an answer)

still here, still here :D

- starting review - 

* Package is the last version - OK
* Source from website and src.rpm have the same sha1sum - OK
b0da901b9f1b4a5410f7ca54049fa28243f444b7  itools-0.6.2.tar.bz2
1/ Source from website and src.rpm have the different timestramps
-rw-rw-r-- 1 builder builder 31402 mar 18  2005 itools-0.6.2.tar.bz2
-> You need to use wget -N to download the source tarball
2/ Source URL is wrong - please fix to :
 http://downloads.sourceforge.net/arabeyes/itools-%{version}.tar.bz2
-> Doing so will use the sf mirrors instead of only one mirror
3/ Providing configure as Source1 is wrong 
-> You need to BuildRequires autoconf and run autoconf in %prep to avoid to
bundle the whole configure script as soon as you modify the configure.in file.
4/ Patch0 could be improved. Instead of using cp you can use cp -p to prevent
timestamps changes for the man pages (keeping timestamps for binaries isn't
relevant)
5/ COPYING is present within the sources and thus needs to be provided within
the %doc
6/ man pages don't need to use the %doc macro.
* Build have been tested in mock - (F-9 i386/x86_64 ) OK 
* rpmlint is clean from both uninstalled and installed packages
* Usability has been tested - OK
* Install/Uninstall tested - OK

ping
Is there something you don't understand ? (or you don't agree with ?)

theres some problem with the app itself and upstream aint responding .. 

closing this review request as i lost interest with it. The Minbar GUI (which already in the repos) pretty much provide what I need.
