#17052: pidgin-25.2 build error -------------------------------------+-------------------------------------- Reporter: michaelgoerz@… | Owner: simon@… Type: defect | Status: reopened Priority: Normal | Milestone: Port Bugs Component: ports | Version: 1.6.0 Resolution: | Keywords: Port: pidgin | -------------------------------------+-------------------------------------- Comment(by shreevatsa.public@…): The problem is some Autotools nonsense I will never understand. [It seems that the build phase calls configure again (to generate files currently missing?), and in the process some of the effects of the patches get overwritten.] Anyway, everything works fine if you first apply the patches, then run [http://developer.pidgin.im/viewmtn/revision/file/e602a35f60e3d423d43bacc72fc... autogen.sh] (which calls configure and fails, but nevermind), *then* run configure and build. [So you could just add running autogen.sh to the post-patch/pre-configure phase.] Someone who understands what's actually going on will probably have a simpler way to do this, so I'm not submitting a patch. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/17052#comment:8> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
