The sources of of port provide their own m4 macros (i.e. AX_PTHREAD, AX_BOOST) store in ax_boost.m4 in m4 of the toplevel dir of the sources.
I have to issue USE_AUTOTOOLS= aclocal autoheader libtoolize libtool autoconf automake to create the proper configure file. The configure file fails with an error of a missing macro, in particular AX_BOOST([]) which is present in the m4 folder and as far as I know, it should be addressed with libtool. I can not find any useful information within the porter's handbook about this very common case of having pristine autotool environments and how to handle them. My question in specific is: what is the tag/sequence in the toplevel Makefile to endure that macros stored in the m4-folder of the sources are loaded automatically? When issuing the aclocal-autoheader-libtoolize-autoconf-automake chain in the source folder, everything works fine except the fact that the FreeBSD specific environment variables are not set. Please CC me, I do not subscribe this list. Regards and thanks in advance, Oliver
