sleuthkit: configure error on Mojave

[dershow]

The Sleuthkit port was just upgraded from 4.6.2 to 4.6.5, but the upgrade fails to configure for me. I've attached the log file

[mf2k (Frank Schima)]

Error is:

:debug:configure system:  cd "/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_sysutils_sleuthkit/sleuthkit/work/sleuthkit-4.6.5" && ./bootstrap --verbose
:info:configure ./bootstrap: line 3: aclocal: command not found

[mf2k (Frank Schima)]

It builds fine for me on High Sierra.

[Schamschula (Marius Schamschula)]

When I built sleuthkit, I also did so on High Sierra, but ran into this issue while building in trace mode.

I'm not sure what is going on here, as aclocal is provided by automake and it is explicitly called out for by depends_build-append.

[mf2k (Frank Schima)]

Indeed, automake is not in the dependencies. My understanding is that setting autoconf.cmd ./bootstrap clears the build dependencies. So adding automake after that command should fix this.

[mf2k (Frank Schima)]

Yes, I locally edited the Portfile and confirmed that this works.

I was trying to also see if I can run autopsy ​https://trac.macports.org/ticket/55985, but it seems to also require sleuthkit-4.6.5.jar. At least 4.6.2 doesn't produce a jar file.

Replying to dershow:

I also had a look at autopsy 4.10.0 yesterday. Someone with more experience doing java ports needs to tackle it. It seems to need a complete rewrite of the Portfile.

[dershow]

Does this mean that just installing automake will solve the build problem? Otherwise, should the depend_build-append section of the port file be moved down, or something else with automake?

[mf2k (Frank Schima)]

Yes, installing automake should fix it. Please let us know if it does.

[dershow]

It doesn't. I installed the automake port, and then tried the upgrade and it fails during configure.

[mf2k (Frank Schima)]

Did you clean first?

[dershow]

Yes, I did.

[mf2k (Frank Schima)]

Please attach the new main.log file.

[mf2k (Frank Schima)]

Error is now:

:info:configure sh: autom4te: command not found
:info:configure aclocal: error: echo failed with exit status: 127

[mf2k (Frank Schima)]

Now install autoconf, sudo port clean sleuthkit and try again.

[dershow]

That did it.
