#37663: lesstif @0.95.2 Configure error - autoreconf failure ---------------------------+-------------------------------- Reporter: uthyr@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.1.2 Keywords: Mountain Lion | Port: lesstif ---------------------------+-------------------------------- Hello, Problem: lesstif fails to configure System(s): this is occuring on three computers, a MacMini (5,2), MacMini (5,1), and MacBook Pro (8,2). Each has installed: Mac OS X 10.8.2[[BR]] Xcode 4.5.2 (4G2008a), with CommandLine Tools installed[[BR]] MacPorts 2.1.2 for Mountain Lion installed[[BR]] These ports installed, in this order, with these variants. {{{ Macports Base wget +ssl db46 gcc45 python27 python_select ghostscript gv +letter ImageMagick +q16 gsl +gcc45 hdf5-18 +cxx +gcc45 hdf4 +gcc45 netcdf +dap +netcdf4 +hdf4 netcdf-fortran +gcc45 nco ncarg +gcc45 }}} Everything through nco compiled and installed. The package ncarg depends upon lesstif, among others, which has failed to configure. The following dependencies installed prior to lesstif, in the order shown: {{{ ---> Installing glib2 @2.34.3_0 ---> Installing libpixman @0.28.2_0 ---> Installing xorg-xcb-util @0.3.9_0 ---> Installing xorg-renderproto @0.11.1_0 ---> Installing xrender @0.9.7_0 ---> Installing cairo @1.12.8_2+x11 ---> Installing flex @2.5.37_1 ---> Installing giflib @4.2.1_0+x11 ---> Installing proj @4.8.0_0 ---> Installing libgeotiff @1.4.0_0 ---> Installing gdal @1.9.2_0+expat ---> Installing hdfeos @2.18_0 ---> Installing hdfeos5 @1.14_2 ---> Installing xorg-printproto @1.0.5_0 ---> Installing xorg-libXp @1.0.1_0 }}} following each "Installing..." is a line stating "Activating..."

I attempted to proceed by changing directory to the lesstif-0.95.2 build directory, and running the 'autoreconf 'command by hand, using sudo. A warning about 'configure.in' being improperly named (should be 'configure.ac') was issued, along with an error about an obsolete macro (AM_CONFIG_HEADER). I duplicated the 'configure.in' to 'configure.ac', and changed the macro as directed in the error report. I ran the 'autoreconf' command again, and received another obsolete macro error. Renamed the macro, ran 'autoreconf' again, and this time received errors about the same two obsolete macros, after descending into the 'test' directory. Changing those, finally received errors about 'possibly undefined macro' and other tokens. This is the limit of my understanding, so am reporting this to MacPorts. I can provide the output from the manual 'autoreconf' commands, if desired. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/37663> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
