Looking at configure.ac, I see: AC_PATH_PROG(YACC,byacc,no) if test "x$YACC" == "xno" then AC_MSG_ERROR([ byacc could not be found! Make sure byacc is in your path. ]) else YACC="${YACC}" YFLAGS="-d -v" AC_SUBST(YACC) AC_SUBST(YFLAGS) AC_DEFINE(AUTOMAKE_INVOKES_YACC,1,[Defined when automake runs yacc and renames the output files]) fi > > checking for acroread... /usr/local/bin/acroread > > ./configure: ${CFLAGS/...}: Bad substitution > > Looks like bashism.

You can test this assumption by installing bash and > runnging "bash ./configure" instead. If it is true, you need to fix > configure.in or configure.ac. Relevant bit is: for ac_remove_CFLAG in "-O1" "-O2" "-O3" ; do CFLAGS=${CFLAGS//${ac_remove_CFLAG}/} CPPFLAGS=${CPPFLAGS//${ac_remove_CFLAG}/} CXXFLAGS=${CXXFLAGS//${ac_remove_CFLAG}/} done Robert Huff _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
