m4 and gawk use libsigsegv though no dependency is declared

[jorge.monforte@…]

I was trying to build again php5-mysql so I could restart my mediawiki server after upgrading when the process stopped and showed an error that redirect me to a main.log file in the ports building directory.

This is the main.log where you can see the error.

:info:configure Autoconf requires GNU m4 1.1 or later <<<<<<<<<<<<ERROR

Is the m4 port installed, active, and functional?

Do you have any other m4 installed anywhere, such as in /usr/local?

[jorge.monforte@…]

This is the macports m4 installation:

bash-3.2# port installed | grep m4
  m4 @1.4.11_0
  m4 @1.4.12_1
  m4 @1.4.13_0
  m4 @1.4.14_0 (active)

This is the system install one

bash-3.2# /usr/bin/m4 --version
GNU M4 1.4.6

Which m4 is autoconf213 using? See with

grep '^:.*M4' $(which autoconf213)

[jorge.monforte@…]

The macports one:

bash-3.2# grep '^:.*M4' $(which autoconf213)
: ${M4=/opt/local/bin/gm4}

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

What's the output of

/opt/local/bin/gm4 --version
/opt/local/bin/gm4 --help

The "Autoconf requires GNU m4 1.1 or later" message appears to be triggered when autoconf doesn't find certain features listed in the help output.

The same error for both.

What error?

Sorry, I've post it before but now I cant see it.

Aha! m4 is opportunistically using libsigsegv. You probably happened to have libsigsegv library version 0 installed at the time you first built m4, and by now libsigsegv has been updated to library version 2 so m4 now fails to run. We must fix the m4 portfile so it does not attempt to use libsigsegv anymore. Looks like we already fixed this problem once before (see r42166) but the method used there apparently doesn't work anymore, so we must fix it again.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

gawk has the same problem.

$ otool -L /opt/local/bin/gawk

Fixed gawk in r73963.

Fixed m4 in r73964.
