automake-1.16

     Type:  defect          |     Status:  new
 Priority:  Normal          |  Milestone:
Component:  ports           |    Version:  2.4.2
 Keywords:  haspatch        |       Port:  gimp2
----------------------------+-------------------
 The build of gimp2 is failing inside autogen.sh.  Logfile to be appended,
 but here's the top bits:

 {{{
 :debug:main automake 1.16.1_0 exists in the ports tree
 :debug:main automake 1.16.1_0  is the latest installed
 :debug:main automake 1.16.1_0  is active
 }}}

 {{{

 :info:configure yes (version 2.69)
 :info:configure -n checking for automake >= 1.10.0 ...
 :info:configure   You must have automake 1.10.0 or newer installed to

 }}}

 For context, this is the same basic problem as with libsecret:

 https://trac.macports.org/ticket/56116

 I enclose a patchfile for autogen.sh (untested) to show the fundamental
 problem, and as a first draft at a fix.  Apologies if it's with respect to
 the wrong directory.
