>From package automake18, aclocal18 and automake18 try to run 'autom4te' when
they should actually run 'autom4te259'
More explicitly, in /usr/local/bin/aclocal18,
my $traces = ($ENV{AUTOM4TE} || 'autom4te');
should read
my $traces = ($ENV{AUTOM4TE} || 'autom4te259');
Similarly, in /usr/local/bin/automake18,
my $traces = ($ENV{AUTOCONF} || 'autoconf') . " ";
should read
my $traces = ($ENV{AUTOCONF} || 'autoconf259') . " ";
I made those changes post-installation and now aclocal18/automake18 work fine.
>How-To-Repeat:
I cvsup'd my ports collection before building.
I did have an old version of autom4te lying around when I built package
automake18 (which in turn pulled in autoconf259)
$ pkg_info -W /usr/local/bin/autom4te
/usr/local/bin/autom4te was installed by package autoconf-2.53_1
Maybe the existence of that file confused things. But since automake18
explicitly pulls in autoconf259, then I think it should refer to autom4te259
Without the fix, the wrong (old) version of autom4te is run, which gives a
number of strange and confusing errors.
>Fix:
See above (although I've not investigated the best way to fix this within
the port; I just patched aclocal18/automake18 post-installation to make
them work)
