The handbook states, see http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/porters-handbook/using-autotools.html, that aclocal implies the ussage of automake. Consider this line in the port's Makefile: USE_AUTOTOOLS=3D libltdl aclocal autoheader The software comes with the basis of Makefile.am an configure.ac, so I have= to go through the configure steps of the GNU autotools. Having the the USE_AUTOTOOLS=3D s= et as above and having the sentence from the porter's handbook in mind, the configure proce= ss fails with "missing". To avoid those messages, I have to add =20 AUTOMAKE_ARGS+=3D -a for --add-missing in automake. Having USE_AUTOTOOLS=3D libltdl aclocal autoheader automake set, AUTOMAKE_= ARGS+=3D -a is respected. Omit automake from USE_AUTOTOOLS=3D results in a non-respected A= UTOMAKE_ARGS+=3D -a and a lot of typical missing errors. Something is wrong in the logic! Either the porter's handbook is wrong or I= 'm missing some knob.
