graphviz @2.38.0 Build failure with automake 1.15

[majoc-at-astro (majoc-at-astro)]

Under 10.8, graphviz builds fine. Under 10.9 or 10.10, the build first finds and approves of autotools v1.15, then complains about autotools-1.14 being found missing and dies. Please see attached logfile from a 10.9 build attempt.

Thanks in advance.

As reporter, you do not need to Cc yourself. This is not a clean build log. Please clean the port and try again. Then attach the new main.log file.

I was having the same issue on Yosemite last night. Tried reinstalling several times, cleaned the install etc, and always got the same error as above. This morning I wanted to reproduce this to add to this bug report, and the installation (after clean) worked fine. I have both automaker and automake17 installed. If you would like me to check something on my system to help debug, please let me know. I am on a fresh installation of Yosemite (new computer).

Apologies for the newbie errors; main.log (for Yosemite) should follow. For completeness, I've got automake installed, but not automake17. Any other info required, just le me know, please.

Yosemite log for graphviz

Confirmed... I'll have to report this to the developers of graphviz, along with the reason why we're patching the files which is why we're needing to autoreconf...

I'm not sure if the automake version issue is a Graphviz problem or something else. I've reported the original problem to the Graphviz developers at least: ​http://www.graphviz.org/mantisbt/view.php?id=2509

I met the same problem just like your log file. I have changed my automake to version 1.14.1, then problem solved. You should try. My MAC OS is 10.7.5.

Upgrading to libtool 2.4.5 will work around the problem. I've requested this here: #46635

I've filed a graphviz bug report in case this is a graphviz bug: ​http://www.graphviz.org/mantisbt/view.php?id=2510

Truncated: the balance of a successful build.

[majoc-at-astro (majoc-at-astro)]

This is getting weird. In repeated automated builds from scratch on the same system, I'm seeing graphviz fail to build twice the same night, succeed the first time, and fail once then succeed an hour or two later in the same run. Might something be out of sync somewhere .... ?

I've now got some logs from successful builds. The above diff is between two builds from the same base state, which apart from timestamps differ only once the build enters the libltdl subdirectory.

Hope this helps. If you want the two logfiles as-is, or wish me to repeat the exercise with a greater verbosity level, please let me know.

BTW, you'll need to clean and rebuild.
