libtool version mismatch error with latest xfwm4 (4.11.3)

[RJVB (René Bertin)]

Hello,

I thought that updating xfwm4 would be a nice little project while on holidays, but I'm running into a libtool version mismatch error:

  CCLD     helper-dialog
libtool: Version mismatch error.  This is libtool 2.4.2, but the
libtool: definition of this LT_INIT comes from libtool 2.4.6.
libtool: You should recreate aclocal.m4 with macros from libtool 2.4.2
libtool: and run autoconf again.
make[2]: *** [helper-dialog] Error 63
make[2]: Leaving directory `/Volumes/Debian/MP9/var/macports/build/_Volumes_Debian_MP9_site-ports_x11_xfwm4/xfwm4/work/xfwm4-4.11.3/helper-dialog'
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/Volumes/Debian/MP9/var/macports/build/_Volumes_Debian_MP9_site-ports_x11_xfwm4/xfwm4/work/xfwm4-4.11.3'
make: *** [all] Error 2

Any ideas?

Try adding

use_autoreconf yes

or

use_autoreconf yes
autoreconf.args-append --force

I've already tried use_autoreconf, with arguments -fvi. That only made matters worse (configure didn't succeed either, IIRC), which may be in line with the comment in the portfile about avoiding the libtoolise dance.

Could it be that the xfwm4 build system isn't compatible with the current automake/autoconf?

Do you really want Xfce (an X11 desktop environment) on your Mac ? If so, one should update all the ports and not just xfwm4.

[RJVB (René Bertin)]

Yes, I use xfwm4 as the WM in my X11 "session". I'm not sure what xfce4-session would add, but I do use xfce4-panel as the app that keeps the X11 server running. So yes, I updated a number of xfce4 ports (cf ​https://github.com/RJVB/mp-port-repository/tree/master/x11) and IIRC I created tickets for those updates.
