[emboss-dev] CVS checkout generates broken configure script...

[James Abbott]

Hello,

I'm trying to build a clean CVS checkout of the emboss code, but the
configure script generated by autoconf contains a syntax error:

checking for HPDF_New in -lhpdf... yes
PDF support found
checking whether to look for gsoap support... no
checking whether to look for axis2c support... ./configure: line 13496:
syntax error near unexpected token `AXIS2C,axis2c,'
./configure: line 13496: `    PKG_CHECK_MODULES(AXIS2C,axis2c,'


The relevent section of configure looks like:

======================================================================
if test "x$with_axis2c" != xno; then :

    { $as_echo "$as_me:${as_lineno-$LINENO}: result: yes" >&5
$as_echo "yes" >&6; }
    if test "x$with_axis2c" != "xyes" ; then
        ALT_HOME=$with_axis2c
        if test ! -d "${ALT_HOME}" ; then
          as_fn_error $? "No such axis2c directory (${ALT_HOME})"
"$LINENO" 5
        fi
         export
PKG_CONFIG_PATH="$PKG_CONFIG_PATH:$ALT_HOME/lib/pkgconfig"
    else  
        ALT_HOME="/usr"
    fi    

    PKG_CHECK_MODULES(AXIS2C,axis2c,

        AXIS2C_CPPFLAGS=${AXIS2C_CFLAGS}
        AXIS2C_LDFLAGS=${AXIS2C_LIBS}
    ,

        echo pkg-config axis2c detection failed
    )

======================================================================

I'm using the following versions on a CentOS5.5 machine:

autoconf (GNU Autoconf) 2.68
ltmain.sh (GNU libtool) 2.2
automake (GNU automake) 1.9.6

and after checking out the code ran:

autoreconf -fiv
./configure --enable-warnings --disable-shared --enable-debug

Does anyone have any idea if the current CVS version is sick, or if this
is a problem with my environment/versions etc.?

Best Regards,
James
