Description Sean Farley 2005-11-18 18:50:26 UTC 
Within the run-autotools rule in ports, autoheader is run after automake
and autoconf.  If a port needs to run all four auto* tools, then it will
(at least for me) fail.

Fix: Just place autoheader before automake in the run-autotools rule.

------------------------------------------
How-To-Repeat: Run make configure on a port that only has a configure.ac and
Makefile.am.  The output I get:

configure.ac: installing `./install-sh'
configure.ac: installing `./missing'
common/b5c/Makefile.am: installing `./depcomp'
configure.ac:20: installing `./config.guess'
configure.ac:20: installing `./config.sub'
configure.ac:4: required file `config.h.in' not found

autoheader is the one creating the config.h.in.

ports/86309 (just committed), expands on the run-autotools target to 
allow the order to be overridden.  Can you see if this helps. 

I'm certainly willing to consider changing the default order as you 
have suggested, but that would require a full -exp run to verify there's 
no collatoral damage.
