Description Dennis Gilmore 2013-03-23 01:05:20 UTC 
Support for the ARM 64 bit CPU architecture (aarch64) was introduced in 
autoconf 2.69.  libnih appears to use an earlier version of 
autoconf, preventing its being built.  This can be fixed in of three ways (In order of preference):

1. Work with upstream to migrate the package to autoconf 2.69.

2. Rerun autoconf or autoreconf in %prep or %build prior to running 
configure.

3. Apply the patch at http://ausil.fedorapeople.org/aarch64/libnih/libnih-aarch64.patch
which updates config.guess and config.sub to recognize aarch64.
Comment 1 Lukáš Nykrýn 2013-03-23 17:47:14 UTC 
It seems that libnih was used only with upstart, so I think we should retire it.
Comment 2 Lukáš Nykrýn 2013-03-28 12:12:56 UTC 
I have looked in the spec file and we already call autoreconf -i --force in %build section. Is that sufficient?
Comment 4 Dennis Gilmore 2014-06-23 15:27:06 UTC 
yes its sufficient.
