Description Louis Lagendijk 2011-03-26 11:37:23 UTC
Description of problem:
Building a package using the spandsp.pc package config file fails as autotools seems to escape the round brackets with \( and \). Use of the curly brackets fixes the problem

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
spandsp.x86_64 0:0.0.6-0.1.pre12.fc12

How reproducible:
On ffgtk (svn version) I run a rebuild:

Steps to Reproduce:
1.autoconf -i -f
2../configure
3.make
  
Actual results:
.
.
.
../libtool: line 5324: cd: (exec_prefix)/lib64: No such file or directory
libtool: link: cannot determine absolute directory name of `(exec_prefix)/lib64'
make[2]: *** [ffgtk] Error 1


Expected results:
Make without errors

Additional info:
The generated Makefile has:
SPANDSP_CFLAGS =
SPANDSP_LIBS = -L\$\(exec_prefix\)/lib64 -lspandsp -ltiff -lm
as you can see, the brackets got escaped, causing variable substitution to fail

patch for configure.ac

Comment 5 Louis Lagendijk 2011-06-11 19:52:48 UTC
I fixed the issue for me locally, patch file and updated spec file attached. As I corrected configure.ac I had to run autogen.sh before configure

Sorry, added a spec file without the autogen.sh invocation
