Responsible Changed From-To: freebsd-ports-bugs->ade Over to maintainer State Changed From-To: open->feedback Any chance you can provide a unified diff patch against the current devel/gnu-automake for what you're trying to do here. I can understand the basic need for this, but am wary of going in and changing something on a port that is supposed to be completely stock. A patch would help enormously in that it could also be provided upstream to the automake folks for the next release. Here is a patch, which I believe will solve the problem.

State Changed From-To: feedback->closed gnu-auto* ports have now been removed since they are superfluous with the autotools new world order (take 10 or so). Hence, this PR is no longer relevant. |
The gnu-automake port is supposed to be an unmodified installation of automake. However, because GNU_CONFIGURE is set in the port's Makefile, the portsystem will replace config.sub and config.guess in the work directory with FreeBSD preferred versions. See the following section from Mk/bsd.port.mk. ================================================== .if !target(do-configure) do-configure: @if [ -f ${SCRIPTDIR}/configure ]; then \ cd ${.CURDIR} && ${SETENV} ${SCRIPTS_ENV} ${SH} \ ${SCRIPTDIR}/configure; \ fi .if defined(GNU_CONFIGURE) @CONFIG_GUESS_DIRS=$$(${FIND} ${WRKDIR} -name config.guess -o -name config.sub \ | ${XARGS} -n 1 ${DIRNAME}); \ for _D in $${CONFIG_GUESS_DIRS}; do \ ${CP} -f ${TEMPLATES}/config.guess $${_D}/config.guess; \ ${CHMOD} a+rx $${_D}/config.guess; \ ${CP} -f ${TEMPLATES}/config.sub $${_D}/config.sub; \ ${CHMOD} a+rx $${_D}/config.sub; \ done .endif ==================================================== This is appropriate for installing normal ports of FreeBSD but not for gnu-automake because it replaces the config.sub and config.guess that gnu-automake installs into the /usr/local/gnu-autotools directory. This leads to outdated config.guess and config.sub being packaged with software developed on FreeBSD. Fix: The following script is a work around for installing gnu-autotools ==================================================== #!/bin/sh cd /usr/ports/devel/gnu-automake make clean make install make clean make patch cp work/automake-1.9.6/lib/config.guess /usr/local/gnu-autotools/share/automake-1.9/config.guess cp work/automake-1.9.6/lib/config.sub /usr/local/gnu-autotools/share/automake-1.9/config.sub chown root:wheel /usr/local/gnu-autotools/share/automake-1.9/config.guess chown root:wheel /usr/local/gnu-autotools/share/automake-1.9/config.sub chmod 555 /usr/local/gnu-autotools/share/automake-1.9/config.guess chmod 555 /usr/local/gnu-autotools/share/automake-1.9/config.sub make clean ====================================================== A full solution would be to create pre-configure and post-configure rules in the port's make file, that save a copy of the config.guess and config.sub before configure is run and then restores them afterwards. That way the port's configure uses the proper freebsd config.guess and config.sub, but it installs GNU's versions into the gnu-autotools directory. How-To-Repeat: Install gnu-autotools. or compare config.guess in the work directory after make patch and after make configure.
