#17182: Variables aren't expanded in path:-style dependencies --------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: ryandesign@macports.org | Owner: macports-tickets@lists.macosforge.org Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: MacPorts base bugs Component: base | Version: 1.6.0 Resolution: | Keywords: Port: | --------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Changes (by ryandesign@macports.org): * cc: jmr@macports.org (added) Comment: Replying to [comment:ticket:16830:21 jmr@...]:
The problem with upgrading autoconf is actually that depspecs are auto- escaped, so variable substitution is not done, so it ends up looking for /opt/local/\${prefix}/bin/perl (because the prefix is prepended to any path that doesn't start with a slash.) Joshua, could you tell me where in the source this is? I'm having a hard time finding it.
