Hi, I'm trying to add a cvs variant to the slrn-devel portfile. As now i can fetch the sources with this: variant cvs { fetch.type cvs cvs.root :pserver:anonymous@slrn.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/slrn cvs.module slrn cvs.password cvs.date 20070717 version ${version}-${cvs.date} worksrcdir slrn pre-configure { autopoint -f; aclocal -I autoconf; autoheader; automake --foreign --add-missing; autoconf; } depends_build-append port:autoconf port:automake } I can't pass the org.macports.configure phase because I should execute the autogen.sh script instead of ./configure. Autogen.sh checks if automake autoconf and autopoint exist and than executes: ------------------------------- autopoint -f; aclocal -I autoconf; autoheader; automake --foreign --add-missing; autoconf; ./configure $@ ------------------------------- I'd like to run the first 5 commands before running configure, but the pre-configure hook seems to be ignored. What I get is always: [...] ---> Verifying checksum(s) for slrn-devel ---> Extracting slrn-devel ---> Configuring slrn-devel Error: Target org.macports.configure returned: no such file or directory Warning: the following items did not execute (for slrn-devel): org.macports.activate org.macports.configure org.macports.build org.macports.destroot org.macports.archive org.macports.install Error: Status 1 encountered during processing. Which is the right way to address this problem? Thanks, Gufo
