liblrdf: configure phase fails, "file 'm4/lt~obsolete.m4' does not exist"

[lpsinger (Leo Singer)]

I attempted to install liblrdf as a dependency for ardour2. The configure phase failed with the following error message (lifted from the log, which is attached):

:debug:configure Executing command line:  cd "/opt/local/var/macports/build/_Users_lady3jane_ports-local_textproc_liblrdf/liblrdf/work/LRDF-0.5.0" && autoreconf --install 
:info:configure aclocal: error: aclocal: file 'm4/lt~obsolete.m4' does not exist
:info:configure autoreconf: aclocal failed with exit status: 1

​As can be seen in the project's GitHub browser, the file m4/lt~obsolete.m4 and all of the other m4/*.m4 files are symlinks to paths that do not exist in the MacPorts autotools installations.

The attached patch fixes the port by deleting all of the m4/*.m4 files. See also #34212, #27533, and r74523.

Actually "delete" should be simpler than "file delete".

[lpsinger (Leo Singer)]

Do you mean

delete [glob ${worksrcpath}/m4/*.m4]

or

eval delete [glob ${worksrcpath}/m4/*.m4]

? How do delete and file delete differ?

updated Portfile with ryandesign's suggestion applied

May I commit this? This patch is openmaintainer, but I don't know if this patch constitutes a minor change.

Looks like this was fixed in r102286.
