>Description:
First of all, I followed the steps in /usr/ports/UPDATING when trying to update my autoconf and automake ports to the latest versions, but it failed with error. So i then deinstalled all autoconf* and automake* ports including wrappers.
I thought of just installing them again via the autotools port and there I get an error again. Output follows below:
===> Configuring for automake-1.6.3
checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c -o root -g wheel
checking whether build environment is sane... yes
checking for gawk... no
checking for mawk... no
checking for nawk... nawk
checking whether make sets ${MAKE}... yes
checking for perl... /usr/bin/perl
configure: error: Autoconf 2.52 or better is required
===> Script "configure" failed unexpectedly.
Please report the problem to ade@FreeBSD.org [maintainer] and attach the
"/usr/ports/devel/automake16/work/automake-1.6.3/config.log" including the
output of the failure of your make command. Also, it might be a good idea to
provide an overview of all packages installed on your system (e.g. an `ls
/var/db/pkg`).
*** Error code 1
Stop in /usr/ports/devel/automake16.
*** Error code 1
Stop in /usr/ports/devel/autotools.
>How-To-Repeat:
Deinstall all automake* and autoconf* including wrappers. Then make install in /usr/ports/devel/autotools
I guess people get this error when upgrading to the latest versions of automake and autoconf or using autotools port.
