Looking into this in a bit more detail -- Macports installs everything
under /opt/local and there is a pkg.m4 file under there which contains
PKG_CHECK_EXISTS macro:
$ grep PKG_CHECK_EXISTS /opt/local/share/aclocal/pkg.m4
# PKG_CHECK_EXISTS(MODULES, [ACTION-IF-FOUND], [ACTION-IF-NOT-FOUND])
# PKG_CHECK_EXISTS manually
AC_DEFUN([PKG_CHECK_EXISTS],
PKG_CHECK_EXISTS([$3],
What do I need to do to make autoconf use this macro? At the moment
autoconf leaves the macro unexpanded, and as a result ./configure
fails.
checking for iptables... /sbin/iptables
./configure: line 35741: syntax error near unexpected token
libxml-2.0,LIBXML_FOUND=yes'
./configure: line 35741: ` PKG_CHECK_EXISTS(libxml-2.0,LIBXML_FOUND=yes)'
Hi Rich,
So, you have this file,
/opt/local/share/aclocal/pkg.m4
yet your version of aclocal doesn't find it.
This should be enough to make it work:
mkdir -p $(aclocal --print-ac-dir)
echo /opt/local/share/aclocal >> $(aclocal --print-ac-dir)/dirlist
