ports tree updated: 2002.07.30.21.04.00  utc

old expect 5.37.2 version

>Description:

expect 5.8 make configure fails...

===>  Patching for expect-5.38.0
===>  Applying FreeBSD patches for expect-5.38.0
===>  Configuring for expect-5.38.0
configuring Expect 5.38.0
checking for autoconf... no
checking configure up to date... no
configure: warning: ./configure appears to be old (./configure.in and/or ./Makefile.in are newer) and the autoconf program to fix this situation was not found.  If you've no idea what this means, enter the command "touch ./configure" and restart ./configure.



>How-To-Repeat:

try to run make configure in 5.8 version of the port.

>Fix:

as stated in the error message, after touch-ing
lang/expect/work/expect-5.38/configure and removing the configure
token from lang/expect/work, make configure succeeded (& the
eventual install).

oddly enough, later make clean, configure targets did not fail to
run.
