There is a bug with the automake version you are using :

In fact,

patch-configure

23 -am__api_version="1.8"
24 +am__api_version="1.10"

and patch-aclocal.m4

7 -AC_DEFUN([AM_AUTOMAKE_VERSION], [am__api_version="1.8"])
8 +AC_DEFUN([AM_AUTOMAKE_VERSION], [am__api_version="1.10"])

fix the variable "amapi_version" with value 1.10 and the automake gives :

$automake --version
automake (GNU automake) 1.11

Maybe we should not use "amapi_version" in the configure process ...

Attached 2 patches tested on SL x86_64

hsivank,

Thank you very much for your quick and skillful fix.

Once I'd worked out to what todo with the patch files the build worked a treat!

commands used to get tripwire built:

# cd $(port dir tripwire) # patch -p0 <Portfile-tripwire.diff # cp patch-configure.diff files/. # port install tripwire

Cc Me!

Can you share what you did with the patch files? I'm having the same problem.

Fixed in r58164.

Replying to ron@…:

An attempt was made to detail how the patch was applied however the 4 commands all got displayed on one line, so I'll try again:

1. copy the 2 patch files to the "/opt/local/var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/release/ports/security/tripwire" directory

2. as root type the following 4 commands: # cd $(port dir tripwire) # patch -p0 <Portfile-tripwire.diff # cp patch-configure.diff files/. # port install tripwire
