Responsible Changed From-To: freebsd-ports-bugs->ade Over to maintainer State Changed From-To: open->closed Committed without the PORTREVISION bumps, since it's an edge case. ade 2008-07-14 19:26:28 UTC

Log:
Handle an edge-case where lang/gawk is installed prior to any autoconf*
ports, which then results in an implicit dependency on gawk, with the
obvious bad things happening should gawk be later removed.
Note that because this is an edge case, which most folks will not run
into, and because it doesn't change the default package, I am not
bumping PORTREVISION as suggested in the original patch.

This is the real fix, to substitute the (already closed) ports/124372. The autoconf configure script will check mawk and nawk first when hunting for AWK, but will not record the dependency on nawk/gawk if found. This can cause packages depending on autoconf 2.13/2.61/2.62 to fail their build after gawk has been uninstalled. This was first observed building archivers/rpm (which depends on 2.13), but the configure "bug" (or the non-workaround of the port's Makefile) persists in 2.61 and 2.62, symptoms from procedure in how-to-repeat section below: ... ===> Applying FreeBSD patches for rpm-3.0.6_14 ===> rpm-3.0.6_14 depends on executable: gmake - found ===> rpm-3.0.6_14 depends on file: /usr/local/bin/automake-1.4 - found ===> rpm-3.0.6_14 depends on file: /usr/local/bin/autoconf-2.13 - found ===> rpm-3.0.6_14 depends on file: /usr/local/bin/libtool - found ===> rpm-3.0.6_14 depends on shared library: popt.0 - found ===> rpm-3.0.6_14 depends on shared library: intl - found ===> Configuring for rpm-3.0.6_14 gawk: not found ===> Building for rpm-3.0.6_14 gmake: Makefile: No such file or directory gmake: *** No rule to make target `Makefile'. Stop. *** Error code 2 Debugging this shows that the "gawk: not found" stems from autoconf-2.13 in this particular case. NOTE: the patch changes ports/devel/autoconf213, .../autoconf261 and .../autoconf262. I wonder if the fix (CONFIGURE_ENV+=AWK=${AWK}) should become part of GNU_CONFIGURE in ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk instead. Port maintainer (ade@FreeBSD.org) is cc'd. Generated with FreeBSD Port Tools 0.77 Fix: Be sure to export AWK to the port's ./configure script so it does not silently depend on /usr/local stuff that may later go away. NOTE: Arguably, this should be done by ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk instead. ===> Generating patch ===> Viewing diff with more How-To-Repeat: - install gawk - install autoconf213
