Comment(by michaelld@…):
You're welcome; and, you are quite correct that the configure / build
stuff is madness. To name those build systems that I have used -- and
there are more out there that I haven't -- QMake (part of Qt), CMake, GNU
Make / Autotools, and BJam (was required by Boost a while back, but I
think it's a separate project now). Each has benefits and drawbacks,
depending on what you want to do. Some use PKGCONFIG or other external
info (e.g., as installed by the project itself), while others do checking
internally only; you basically have to pick your build system & go with it
& hope it works well enough for anything you want to do. It's also
impossible to test all possible system configurations, but one can use
reasonable logic to work around most issues. Unfortunately, most
developers do not care enough to follow reasonable logic, and so we end up
with messes like this ticket's -- that said: it's the upstream developer's
issue, not the end-user's. Anyway, I'm glad your MacPorts install is up
and running!
