[mythtv] New configure script oddities

[Neale Swinnerton]

Well, I was just the using the same .ebuild that I used to work. That
ebuild needs reworking for the new configure script, but I got the same
problems from the command line...

no flags :-)

$ cat config.log
Tue Mar 22 20:22:08 GMT 2005
   ./configure

but CFLAGS was set to -funroll-loops -fprefetch-loop-arrays -pipe

Anduin said that certain combinations of CFLAGS can cause the compiler to
get confused in this way. I guess if you use agressive CFLAGS then you're
gonna get these problems. In this situation adding -fomit-frame-pointer
sorts it out for me. Maybe a warning in the configure output is
appropriate...

The actually distcc error is:

distcc[10764] (dcc_mkdir) ERROR: mkdir /var/tmp/.distcc/lock failed: No
such file or directory

This may be down to some interaction between Gentoo's ebuild system and
your configure script, so I wouldn't worry too much.

Here's the info you wanted...

Creating config.mak and config.h

$ type -p distcc
/usr/bin/distcc
$ type -p gcc
/usr/bin/gcc
$ type -p ccache

(i'm not using ccache, that's a project for another day...)
