I am getting configure errors. I can't attach them because of a problem with Trac right now so I'm pasting them.

oops, this was a problem in my test build machine. The update builds fine. Committed. Thanks!

Mark, I'm getting the same exact problem trying to build MDK 1.2.3 on MacPorts 1.320:

--->  Configuring mdk

Could you elaborate on what the problem on your build machine was, and how you resolved it? (I should note that I don't have any problems building other ports - just MDK).

[arto.bendiken@…]

Never mind, with some research I got MDK 1.2.3 to build and install after first installing a bunch of other stuff:

sudo port install coreutils +normal_install_names
sudo port install m4 +normal_install_names
sudo port install autoconf
sudo port install automake

Hopefully this will help someone else stumbling onto the same problem. It seems that the dependencies for this package could be added to, as it doesn't quite seem able to build itself with the standard OS X toolchain provided by Apple.

arto.bendiken, do you still get the same error when attempting to install mdk? And which OS, architecture, version of XCode and version of MacPorts did you get the error on? It built without trouble for me (Intel, XCode 2.4.1, Mac OS X 10.4.9), so I'm guessing that you are on Panther, in which case we probably can add the dependencies for that platform.

[arto.bendiken@…]

No, this was on Tiger:

$ uname -a
Darwin arto.local 8.9.1 Darwin Kernel Version 8.9.1: Thu Feb 22 20:55:00 PST 2007; root:xnu-792.18.15~1/RELEASE_I386 i386 i386

I don't recall the MacPorts version, but it was a few upgrades ago.

[boeyms@…]

On further testing, I find that I don't need port:coreutils, but I do need all of port:m4 (the ordinary one, not with +normal_install_names), port:automake and port:autoconf installed; if I remove any one of these three, the configure step fails. Arto, could you try uninstalling and cleaning mdk, setting up the above port installation, and then retrying compiling mdk? If that works, I'll update the ports dependencies (it seems that the currently listed port maintainer may have gone AWOL).

I think it's about time someone resolved this. I confirmed that without automake, it does not build, so I added automake as a build dependency (automake depends on autoconf which depends on m4). Based on the output of otool -L against the three binaries that then got installed, I also added library dependencies on gmp, libiconv, readline, ncurses and libtool. This is all in r32300.
