MacPorts has changed in the years since this revision of the Portfile was current. It used to be that the working directory was pretty reliably ${worksrcpath}, but that's no longer the case in current versions of MacPorts. Ports must now explicitly set the working directory as needed.


Find this part of the portfile:

configure {
    system "make makefiles CCARGS=\"${CCARGS}\" AUXLIBS=\"${AUXLIBS}\""
}

Change it to:

configure {
    system -W ${worksrcpath} "make makefiles CCARGS=\"${CCARGS}\" AUXLIBS=\"${AUXLIBS}\""
}
