I am unfortunately now unable to contribute to MacPorts, but I can comment that this is the same bug as 37428, but for a different port. Basically, we need a patch similar to the first hunk of the configure.in patch on that other ticket. I have tested it and it does work once you make that patch.

Also, whoever fixes this, can you please change the maintainer to openmaintainer? Thanks!

Thank you very much for the quick and helpful reply! I can confirm this patch works. i.e. all is needed is to change in configure.in the single instance of AM_CONFIG_HEADER to AC_CONFIG_HEADER.

Thank you again!
