autoconf bug

Hi, I'm trying to compile the xmms-esound-1.2.10_4 port on my FreeBSD 6.0machine, and I'm seeing the following output from the makefile during configuration. I believe the version of autoconf I have on my system is 2.59. I downloaded the sources using FreeBSD's portsnap utility just today. The f

Hello, I'm still undecided with this. I see the benefit, but I see quite a few subtle issues with it as well. I'd like to see a more evolved patch before judging. * Bruno Haible wrote on Tue, Apr 18, 2006 at 02:43:42PM CEST: > > + @defmac AC_PROG_MKDIR_P > + @acindex{AC_PROG_MKDIR_P} > + @ov
