Hiya!
I've been running xbmc on my gentoobox (i686) (kernel 2.6.25-gentoo-r7) for almost a year now, been updating xbmc using build.sh from svn atleast once a week.

However the last revision i managed to get building is 2008-07-13 14043 since then all build attempts halt with a sanity check. This is the last few lines of the compile in terminal and about the logs you'd like, I kid you not, they are never created (or somewhere totaly out of place, since they used to be in my compile-folder o.o)

Code:

checking for correct ltmain.sh version... no
configure: error:

*** [Gentoo] sanity check failed! ***
*** libtool.m4 and ltmain.sh have a version mismatch! ***
*** (libtool.m4 = 1.5.26, ltmain.sh = 1.5.2) ***

Please run:

  libtoolize --copy --force

if appropriate, please contact the maintainer of this
package (or your distribution) for help.

/rain/XBMC
configure: error: Submodule xbmc/cores/dvdplayer/Codecs/libmad failed to configure


FAILED! Exiting. (1)

I've run emerge --sync aswell as emerge -avunD world daily, also finished up with etc-update just to be sure no config files were out of date.

Also if someone asks, I've deleted the config.cache aswell as used ./build.sh without NODEBUG

That has nothing to do with build.sh, it supposedly happens just the same with a manual build. I say supposedly because I have yet to replicate it on my gentoo install. Regardless, it tells you EXACTLY how to fix the problem. So until I or another dev can replicate it, or it starts to happen on a distro we actually support (Ubuntu), plan to fix these types of "problems" on your own.

Patches are always welcomed (unless they break something else):

I've tried to run libtool as told by that message, no difference, I've also tried to copy a few files on my own aswell as editin the ltmain.sh in the xbmc-directory. I do belive you're right, something is not right with MY gentoobuild, I just hoped someone else were experiencing simmular problems.

Thankfully you do not so I will consider a reinstall to hopefully fix a corrupt or somehow else broken system

I'll look into downgrading ltmain from 1.5.26 to 1.5.2 and return if that fixes the problem (i don't like having to downgrade >_<)

I have the same problem on Gentoo, and have made a slight change as a workaround. I'm not much of a coder, so I don't really know of the implications on other systems... hence no patch. It works though.

In the dir that fails to compile, edit ltmain.sh change the VERSION under Constants to 1.5*

was libdvdnav for me

Good Luck
