autotools.eclass: add slibtool dir for aclocal

2025-05-29T12:24:17Z

When using slibtoolize it needs the /usr/share/slibtool/slibtool.m4 file to properly create the configure script. The current method of using it is to set AT_SYS_M4DIR in make.conf, while this works for most cases it does not work for app-crypt/tpm2-tss which uses ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS with the '--install' argument in Makefile.am which results in it trying to install .m4 files to /usr/share/slibtool. This thankfully fails due to sandbox. To solve this problem the /usr/share/slibtool path can be directly added to "${T}"/aclocal/dirlist if the LIBTOOLIZE variable is set to 'slibtoolize'.

autotools.eclass: conditionalize elt-patches (libtool.eclass) dependency

2025-03-07T01:15:54Z

Use newly-added LIBTOOL_DEPEND so that LIBTOOL_AUTO_DEPEND=no doesn't result in a useless dependency on elt-patches in the WANT_LIBTOOL=no case. Prompted by a discussion with Eli Schwartz . Signed-off-by: Sam James

autotools.eclass: Run eautoheader with --force

2024-09-24T11:51:20Z

To quote Eli [1] (I can't explain it better than this): autotools.eclass runs autoheader without options (and in particular without --force). This will only remake config.h.in if there are actual changes to the content, which in turn means that it will be out of date compared to aclocal.m4 (which we very much expect to have changes). So `make` sees that the header is out of date, and runs autoheader yet again, this time updating the timestamp for `make` purposes. This causes QA warning that "maintainer mode" is detected. autoheader and autoconf added --force option at the same time [2], so no reason only autoconf has that option in the eclass and not autoheader. Like, autoconf, a check on WANT_AUTOCONF != 2.1 is added because the feature was added in autoconf 2.52.
