Autoconf is an extensible package of M4 macros that produce shell
scripts to automatically configure software source code packages.
These scripts can adapt the packages to many kinds of UNIX-like
systems without manual user intervention. Autoconf creates a
configuration script for a package from a template file that lists the
operating system features that the package can use, in the form of M4
macro calls.
===> The following configuration options are available for autoconf-2.73_1:
INFO=on: Build and/or install GNU info pages
===> Use 'make config' to modify these settings
Templates/config.(guess|sub): Update to 2026-05-17
Also remove our local changes that replaced x86_64 with amd64 because
these complicate porting by forcing port maintainers to replace x86_64
with amd64 in configure scripts.
Additional changes:
bsd.port.mk: Apply S/amd64/x86_64/ to CONFIGURE_TARGET. This is not
required to run configure but some ports need to use this in pkg-plist.
comms/qico, news/fidogate:
CONFIGURE_TARGET shouldn't contain "--build". Just remove it altogether
because the default value is fine.

devel/autoconf: Update to 2.73
cad/alliance, databases/proxysql, deskutils/growl-for-linux,
emulators/wine-proton, net/yate, sysutils/grub2-efi,
sysutils/grub2-pcbsd: Add USE_CSTD=gnu11 because autoconf 2.73 tries
to use C23 and these ports are broken with that.

devel/libtextstyle, devel/gettext*: Update to 0.26
Recent versions of gettext no longer install m4 files in
PREFIX/share/aclocal. They have to be installed in the work
directory by autopoint for aclocal to find them.
Patch devel/autoconf so autoreconf runs autopoint when gettext related
macros are used in configure.ac (e.g. AM_ICONV). Previously it only
ran autopoint when AM_GNU_GETTEXT_(REQUIRE_)VERSION was used.
The following ports now require autopoint (i.e. USES=gettext-tools):
benchmarks/sysbench, devel/libhtp, editors/fxite, filesystems/rar2fs,
graphics/gd, net/ucarp, news/fidogate, sysutils/cdrdao

Remove WWW entries moved into port Makefiles
Commit b7f05445c00f has added WWW entries to port Makefiles based on
WWW: lines in pkg-descr files.
This commit removes the WWW: lines of moved-over URLs from these
pkg-descr files.
Approved by: portmgr (tcberner)
Add WWW entries to port Makefiles
It has been common practice to have one or more URLs at the end of the
ports' pkg-descr files, one per line and prefixed with "WWW:". These
URLs should point at a project website or other relevant resources.
Access to these URLs required processing of the pkg-descr files, and
they have often become stale over time. If more than one such URL was
present in a pkg-descr file, only the first one was tarnsfered into
the port INDEX, but for many ports only the last line did contain the
port specific URL to further information.
There have been several proposals to make a project URL available as
a macro in the ports' Makefiles, over time.

devel/autoconf: update to 2.71
- Copy devel/autoconf to devel/autoconf2.69.
- Update devel/autoconf to 2.71.
- Allow ports to use 2.69 with USES=autoreconf:2.69.

devel/autoconf*: restructure to prepare for 2.71
- Rename autoconf 2.13 port directory, package, and command all to
autoconf2.13 just like ports like perl and python.
- Let USES=autoreconf run gtkdocize if necessary.
- Rewrite autoconf-wrapper and rename it autoconf-switch to reflect
better what it does.
- Delete patch-bison. It has been reverted upstream.
- Add a patch to let autoreconf set the AUTOCONF environment variable
so subprocesses like automake use the correct version.
- Make building of info files optional.
- Address portlint, portclippy, portfmt issues in devel/autoconf*.

Install texinfo files (GNU info) into ${PREFIX}/share/info
After a discussion on the mailing list on moving manpages to
${PREFIX}/share/man for consistency with base where it is
installed in usr/share/man, it appeared the same should happen
to GNU info files which were installed under share in base and
not in ports.
Now texinfo is not in base on any of the supported version of FreeBSD
it is possible to proceed to this move and it is easier to do than
the manpage change.
Other benefit than consistency are less patching: all build tools but
cmake are expecting info files to be under share/info and cmake (patched here)
was having an exception for BSD so the patch makes FreeBSD case less
specific for them

MASTER_SITES cleanup.
- Replace ${MASTER_SITE_FOO} with FOO.
- Merge MASTER_SITE_SUBDIR into MASTER_SITES when possible. (This means 99.9%
of the time.)
- Remove occurrences of MASTER_SITE_LOCAL when no subdirectory was present and
no hint of what it should be was present.
- Fix some logic.
- And generally, make things more simple and easy to understand.
While there, add magic values to the FESTIVAL, GENTOO, GIMP, GNUPG, QT and
SAMBA macros.
Also, replace some EXTRACT_SUFX occurences with USES=tar:*.

Move devel/autoconf->devel/autoconf253 and devel/automake->devel/automake15
All autotools ports are now truly versioned and do not conflict with each
other.
This marks the end of "Phase 1" of the autotools updates.
Set some DEPRECATED and EXPIRATION_DATE knobs to indicate overall intention
of the autotools project to remove all but the latest versions of
libtool, autoconf, and automake, by 31st December 2004.
Note that autoconf259 and automake18 aren't yet accessible through the
relevant USE_* knobs, but will be as soon as bsd.autotools.mk comes into
existence.
Use the cosmetic BUILD_VERSION variable (a la libtool), switch portnames
away from using the version number twice.
Unbreak autoconf257, based on work from Rui Lopes <rui@ruilopes.com>

Thank you for your contributions, you
will be greatly missed.
Remove the StUdLyCaPs from maintainer name, 'cause some folks won't realize
mail's case insensitive and will try to type that. Sorry folks, purely a
cosmetic change here, nothing to see, move along, move along....
1. Fixed bug in autoscan. Thanks to Joe Marcus Clarke <marcus@marcuscom.com>
who worked with me and beyond to track this down.
2. Support the emacs autoconf/autotest modes now, for both emacs21 and
xemacs21. Other (x)emacsen may work, depends on where they put things.
Stage a mini-coup, and borrow these ports from portmgr@ for a while,
since I'm doing most of the updating, and am working on a
port/Mk/bsd.<gnublah>.mk to move some cruft around.

Upgrade to 2.52; this should solve some problems when mixing ac 2.13* and am
1.5. Ports which require 2.13/1.4 will be modified to use the ac213 and am14
ports.
m4(1) was stripping the [] to leave *.Cc in my previous fix and this was
causing problems with a few ports determining that .c was the suffix for
executables. The fix is to expand it to '*.c - *.C' so that m4(1) doesn't try
to outsmart us.
