msmtp @1.4.24 build failure - configure error

[rcobbe]

Building msmtp @1.4.24 (no variants) as part of a "sudo port upgrade outdated" fails with an error in the configure script; I was upgrading from msmtp @1.4.23. I also tried uninstalling msmtp and then re-installing it from scratch; the results are identical. Here's the terminal output from the (re)install attempt:

[vimes:~]$ sudo port install msmtp
--->  Computing dependencies for msmtp
--->  Configuring msmtp
Error: Target org.macports.configure returned: configure failure: shell command failed (see log for details)
Log for msmtp is at: /opt/local/var/macports/logs/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_mail_msmtp/msmtp/main.log
Error: Status 1 encountered during processing.
To report a bug, see <http://guide.macports.org/#project.tickets>

I've attached the log to this ticket.

Mac OS 10.6.8 with all security patches installed; XCode 3.2.2.

:info:configure checking for pkg-config... no
:info:configure configure: error: pkg-config not found

Try installing the pkgconfig port; if msmtp upgrades then, it'll need a build dependency on it.

should be fixed in #84148 (added missing build dep)

Works for me -- thanks!
