Package: mesa Version: 7.2-1 Severity: normal The invocation of make being used in configure.ac to generate mesa_version (which later goes into PACKAGE_VERSION in configure) is missing a --no-print-directory switch. The lack of --no-print-directory is resulting in the following line in the generated configure:
PACKAGE_VERSION='make2: Entering directory `/root/mesa-7.2'7.2.0make2: Leaving directory `/root/mesa-7.2'' Subsequently, all kinds of badness happens when attempts are made to use this malformed configure script. The following patch I've found fixes this problem: diff -Naur mesa-7.2.orig/configure.ac mesa-7.2/configure.ac --- mesa-7.2.orig/configure.ac 2008-09-13 20:25:44.000000000 +0000 +++ mesa-7.2/configure.ac 2008-11-17 08:21:36.445563599 +0000 @@ -4,7 +4,7 @@ dnl Versioning - scrape the version from configs/default m4_define([mesa_version], - [m4_esyscmd([${MAKE-make} -s -f bin/version.mk version | tr -d '\n'])]) + [m4_esyscmd([${MAKE-make} -s --no-print-directory -f bin/version.mk version | tr -d '\n'])]) m4_ifval(mesa_version,[],[ m4_errprint([Error: Failed to get the Mesa version from the output of running `make -f bin/version.mk version' -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.27-1-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
