See http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/devel/autoconf/files/patch-ag I think the dates listed for the patched file --- acspecific.m4.orig Sun Aug 13 19:42:57 2000 +++ acspecific.m4 Sun Aug 13 19:43:24 2000 @@ -2659,7 +2659,7 @@ if AC_TRY_EVAL(ac_link); then for file in conftest.*; do case $file in - *.c | *.o | *.obj) ;; + *.c | *.C | *.o | *.obj) ;; *) ac_cv_exeext=`echo $file | sed -e s/conftest//` ;; esac done (Sun Aug 13, ...) is wrong, since the file was probably generated about Aug. 25. At least that confused me when I went back to look at it. I haven't had any problems using autoconf since the end of Aug. when this correcton was introduced. Many thanks for looking into it.

I first noticed the problem when I tried to make Imagemagic port. But the gtk12 does not build correctly and others have problems as well. Undoing the change (removing the patch and removing and reinstalling autoconf seems to fix the problem) It appears that the square brackets are not carried into the configure file so various assignments get confused later on. Fix: The easiest solution for now is to back out the patch. How-To-Repeat: Use autoconf as is and try to build Imagemagic. A number of other ports which depend on autoconf also seem to be affected. I have noticed several so far including gtk, kde2,
