Hi all, I should have done this 2 days ago, but now is better than never. Right now, if you upgrade your autoconf (devel/autoconf), you'll get autoconf 2.52. This is *known* to be broken with anything using automake if you do not have automake (devel/automake) 1.5 installed too. In other words, if ports/jane/johndoeport's distfile requires autoconf and automake to work, you MUST have sync'd versions of autoconf and automake. The problem is that the dependencies are slightly out of date in bsd.port.mk, so everything that sets USE_AUTOMAKE is really depending on autoconf213/automake14 (ports/devel/...). This has been fixed in an upcoming bsd.port.mk patch which has undergone testing on bento's 4-exp tree. So if you see any problems like the one reported here: http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=355039+0+current/freebsd-questions ..the solution is to make sure you have autoconf 2.52 AND automake 1.5 installed, because in this case, the m4 macro that's missing is defined by am 1.5.
