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.
