rdesktop missing depency and ACLOCAL

[macports@…]

I just installed macports 1.7.0 on a fresh macbook with the sole purpose to be able to use rdesktop. I had the hardest time getting it to compile.

First of all, rdesktop is missing a dependency for pkgconfig. Because the output of bootstrap is suppressed, the only error I got was:

configure: error: Selected sound system is not available.

Secondly, in order to load pkg.m4 I had to set the following environment variable:

ACLOCAL='aclocal -I /opt/local/share/aclocal'

otherwise configure would complain like this:

configure: WARNING: pkg-config not available, cannot check for ao
configure: WARNING: pkg-config not available, cannot check for alsa
configure: WARNING: pkg-config not available, cannot check for samplerate
configure: error: Selected sound system is not available.

I don't know where the environment variable comes into things, but this is fixed in r45150.

Oh, I get it, it also needs automake. Added the dependency in r45151.
