I have a problem with porting. The handbook states, see http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/porters-handbook/using-autotools.html, that aclocal implies the ussage of automake.
Consider this line in the port's Makefile: USE_AUTOTOOLS= libltdl aclocal autoheader The software comes with the basis of Makefile.am an configure.ac, so I have to go through the configure steps of the GNU autotools. Having the the USE_AUTOTOOLS= set as above and having the sentence from the porter's handbook in mind, the configure process fails with "missing". To avoid those messages, I have to add AUTOMAKE_ARGS+= -a for --add-missing in automake. Having USE_AUTOTOOLS= libltdl aclocal autoheader automake set, AUTOMAKE_ARGS+= -a is respected. Omit automake from USE_AUTOTOOLS= results in a non-respected AUTOMAKE_ARGS+= -a and a lot of typical missing errors. Something is wrong in the logic! Either the porter's handbook is wrong or I'm missing some knob. Regards, Oliver
