ntop fails to build: unable to infer tagged configuration

[darrell.usenet6@…]

I tried the fix in ticket 13648. Didn't work for me. Running on an iBook G4, 10.4.11, Xcode 2.5

Many thanks

Darrell

Right, the fix from #13648 (forcing a rebuild of the libtool port), while it seems to have helped mjpegtools to build, apparently doesn't help ntop, which doesn't depend on the libtool port and seems to have its own built-in libtool. Maybe ntop needs to depend on the libtool port and use something like LIBTOOL=${prefix}/bin/glibtool in its environment?

[peter@…]

Could you please install the automake, and autoconf ports as well as the libtool port, then try to build ntop again.

Replying to peter@pogma.com:

Sure. I just did so. I still have the problem.

Many thanks,

Darrell

Oh well, thought that would help - the ntop port runs autogen.sh to run libtoolize, automake, autoconf etc in the build directory - since you are on Tiger and that comes with quite old version s of those tools, I thought that may be the problem. I guess I will just leave it to the ntop maintainer.

Another thing I noticed when looking at autogen.sh is this

echo "2. Preparing for libtool ...."
$LIBTOOLIZE --copy --force

if [ ! -f libtool.m4.in ]; then
  echo "    Finding libtool.m4.in"
  if [ -f /usr/local/share/aclocal/libtool.m4 ]; then
     echo "        .... found /usr/local/share/aclocal/libtool.m4"
     cp /usr/local/share/aclocal/libtool.m4 libtool.m4.in
  else
     if [ -f /usr/share/aclocal/libtool.m4 ]; then
      echo "        .... found /usr/share/aclocal/libtool.m4"
      cp /usr/share/aclocal/libtool.m4 libtool.m4.in
     else
      echo "        .... not found - aborting!"
     fi
  fi
fi
echo "        .... done"
echo ""

So it will probably get the ltmain.sh from MacPorts' relatively recent version of libtool, but generate the configure script from /usr/share/aclocal/libtool.m4, which is relatively old. It may be an issue, but I doubt that it is this one.

[markd@…]

I'm not able to resolve this. I'll try the ntop list though.

[darrell.usenet6@…]

I just tried to install ntop again after a report that it was fixed. Ntop still fails to install for me.

The error output is different after the first few error lines.

Is this still an issue, the ntop port is currently at version 3.3.8?

[markd@…]

I was never able to reproduce it myself so I don't know. I suppose it is reasonable to close it since the update may have fixed and we have no way to test this. It could always be reopened if it crops up again.

[eugene.vasserman@…]

I DID have this problem originally, and can confirm that it now works with ntop 3.3.8.

[markd@…]

Thanks for reporting.

[darrell.usenet6@…]

I initiated this ticket. After seeing the comments today I updated and tried again.

I can confirm ntop 3.3.8 is running fine now on my iBook G4. Since the original report I have upgraded my OS to 10.5.6, Xcode to 3.1, MacPorts to 1.7.

This is actually still a problem on 10.4, but I don't know of a fix.
