mkinstalldirs missing

[webograph@…]

when installing gobby-svn on a fresh gentoo system, installation failes due to lack of mkinstalldirs, which was removed from svn in changeset:1609.

copying a mkinstalldirs over from /usr/share/automake-1.10/mkinstalldirs between compile and install stage is a workaround.

The calling of autogen.sh in the package's build tree should give you mkinstalldirs as it runs automake -f -i explicitly. I, for my part, am also using Gentoo, so please confirm that this fixes the problem.

pkern@asterix ~/Development/gobby-svn $ ls -l mkinstalldirs 
lrwxrwxrwx 1 pkern pkern 38 2007-06-16 19:53 mkinstalldirs -> /usr/share/automake-1.10/mkinstalldirs

[webograph@…]

for me, there is no automake -f -i in autogen.sh:

cd /var/tmp/portage/app-editors/gobby-svn-0.4/work/gobby-svn-0.4/; cat autogen.sh

#!/bin/sh

autoreconf -f -i && automake -a -f

even after running automake -f -i manually, there is no mkinstalldirs.

Is this still relevant?

[webograph@…]

unfortunately, having changed the distribution, i can't test this on gentoo any more.

Please reopen if this is still a problem.
