I tried re-installing the port of m4, which made no difference with my install problem, then I reviewed the m4 description at m4.darwinports.com and saw that it tries to install the binary as gm4. `which m4` returned /usr/bin/m4 (version 1.4.2) while `which gm4` returned /opt/local/bin/gm4 (version 1.4.10) Guessing that the build tools might look for m4 before gm4 I moved /usr/bin/m4 to /usr/bin/m4.old, then did a clean and install on libmng. It worked! libmng is now installed. If you're having trouble with no Makefile being generated and 'no rule' errors, have a look at your path for old versions of m4. Dave David Moylan wrote:
I'm still trying to track down the bug in the port for libmng. I've tried to contact the maintainer but have heard nothing. In the build process it appears that autoconf generates a configure script, but executing 'configure' does nothing. It does not go through the normal checks and it does not create a Makefile it simply prints nothing and exits. Without the Makefile the installation can't proceed.
config.log shows exit 0.
My ports installation is up to date and synced.
I'm on a PBook G4 with 10.4.10
