Hi,
The xmaxima binary in math/maxima is broken.
ire% xmaxima
invalid command name "winfo"
while executing
"winfo screenvisual ."
(file "/usr/local/bin/xmaxima" line 1)
I also notice the port is quite out of date, so I started to try to
update it. It appears to configure fine, but during the build it whines:
;;; Loading
"/usr/ports/pobj/maxima-5.19.2/maxima-5.19.2/src/maxima.system"
cd .. && /bin/sh /usr/ports/pobj/maxima-5.19.2/maxima-5.19.2/missing
--run automake-1.9 --gnu src/Makefile

Yeugh, just as a test I forced the port to re-autobreak itself by
setting CONFIGURE_STYLE=autoconf and setting AUTO*_VERSION. This results
in:
>>> Can't find autoconf 2.62 signature in
>>> /usr/ports/pobj/maxima-5.19.2/maxima-5.19.2/configure:
# Generated by GNU Autoconf 2.59.

Running autoheader-2.62 in /usr/ports/pobj/maxima-5.19.2/maxima-5.19.2
autoheader-2.62: error: AC_CONFIG_HEADERS not found in configure.in
But this could be a tangent.
AFAIK, builds whould not run automake, that generally happens
pre-configure. What would people suggest we do with this?
Thanks
