Description

:info:build WARNING: 'automake-1.15' is missing on your system.
:info:build          You should only need it if you modified 'Makefile.am' or
:info:build          'configure.ac' or m4 files included by 'configure.ac'.
:info:build          The 'automake' program is part of the GNU Automake package:
:info:build          <http://www.gnu.org/software/automake>
:info:build          It also requires GNU Autoconf, GNU m4 and Perl in order to run:
:info:build          <http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf>
:info:build          <http://www.gnu.org/software/m4/>
:info:build          <http://www.perl.org/>
:info:build make: *** [Makefile.in] Error 127

My automake is listed as the macports version (which automake) and the version number is 1.16.1_1.

The only time I have seen this error is if the date of configure.ac is more recent than configure.
For example, touch configure.ac reproduced this error.
Octave helpfully tries to regenerate configure.

Can you think of any reason how the modification date of configure.ac might have been modified?

You can close this ticket; I just successfully updated octave for this same installation, just by running port upgrade octave again. I have no idea what might have happened a few hours ago. I decided to try again when an update of this port on a separate machine and installation (same OS) proceeded routinely. I'm using an +OpenBLAS variant, and I think that's why I have to go through the build process in the first place.

Of course, I thank you profusely for your efforts in maintaining this port, and apologize for busying you with this minor nonsense.
