#25509: autoreconf failure -----------------------------------+---------------------------------------- Reporter: dong5600@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 1.9.1 Keywords: | Port: autoconf xorg-libXp -----------------------------------+---------------------------------------- Comment(by macports@…): I had need to get other autoconf-dependent software working quickly, so I needed a workaround. It appears this was introduced with autoconf 2.66 upstream, and the maintainer indicated official release with fix was a couple weeks out, so I stopped looking for patches, and started looking for a downgrade path to 2.65. I've never had 2.65 installed on this machine, so here is how I went about installing it - per the howto on installing old ports @ http://trac.macports.org/wiki/howto/InstallingOlderPort {{{ cd /opt/local/var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/release/ports/devel/autoconf port uninstall autoconf curl https://svn.macports.org/export/66088/trunk/dports/devel/autoconf/Portfile

That installed autoconf @ 2.65_1 and other software was able to successfully build with it -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/25509#comment:14> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
