Hi,
I compiled autoconf 2.67. Unfortunately, still the scratchbox built-in version is called

Code:

[sbox-FREMANTLE_ARMEL: ~/libtool/autoconf-2.67] > SBOX_REDIRECT_IGNORE=/usr/bin/autoconf autoconf --version

The third call works, but this can't be really used as in many packages it's just

Code:

autoconf

called.

How can I disable the scratchbox autoconf and use the newer one only?

I can't as this should work on the autobuilder. Is there any way to disable redirection when using the non-absolute path?

Just a quick guess, but try alias?

Code:

alias autoconf='path/to/autoconf'

Replace path to autoconf with the full path to your autoconf.

To unalias (return to the shell built-in), just do the following:

Code:

unalias autoconf

Unfortunately, the aliases aren't taken in account in makefile (so in debian/rules too.) Is there any way to specify the path for Makefiles (debian/rules)?

It was a stab in the dark

How about ...

Code:

SBOX_REDIRECT_BINARIES
        comma-separated list of <source>:<target> pairs which specify
        explicit binary redirection rules (for example
        "/usr/bin/make:/scratchbox/tools/bin/make,/bin/cat:/host_usr/bin/dog")

I did this

Code:

 PATH:=/usr/bin/dh7:/usr/bin:$(PATH)
export PATH
SBOX_REDIRECT_IGNORE=/usr/bin/perl:/usr/bin/autoconf
export SBOX_REDIRECT_IGNORE
SBOX_REDIRECT_BINARIES:="/usr/bin/autoconf:/usr/bin/autoconf,$(SBOX_REDIRECT_BINARIES)"

but still the redirected version is used. Any other way?

chroot into toolchain dir and install new autoconf in there.
