Summary: [patch] Automake 1.9 not detecting cppunit
Product: Ports & Packages Reporter: Geoff Glasson <g_glasson>

Description Geoff Glasson 2005-11-28 13:30:02 UTC 
             The tools used by automake19 only look for configuration macros in /usr/local/share/aclocal19, however ports such as CppUnit install their auto-configuration macros in /usr/local/share/aclocal and they are not visible to the automake 1.9 toolset.

To fix this, the aclocal program supplied with Automake 1.9 must be patched in order to search /usr/local/share/aclocal, allowing ports such as CppUnit to be usable by GNU configured programs on FreeBSD.

A proposed patch is attached.

Fix: 

local (@dirlist) = parse_arguments (@ARGV);
+ push @dirlist, '@datadir@/aclocal';
  $configure_ac = require_configure_ac;
  scan_m4_files (@dirlist);
  scan_configure;--EV00Shh7HRbxliDacYA8TPMMQj6gVyz52oSCPLmSLj7e52jT

Will be addressed as part of an impending update to the autoconf/automake 
infrastructure, currently under test.

The latest round of updates to autotools should have fixed this. 
Unless I hear otherwise, I'll be closing this PR 2 weeks from today 
(11th August 2007).

As promised, close on a 2-week timeout working on the basis that 
recent major updates to the autotools systems have now resolved the problem.
