pcre: Missing build dependency on autoconf and automake

[raimue (Rainer Müller)]

pcre tries to use aclocal-1.14 and autom4te in the configure process. The attached patch adds the required dependencies. Not increasing revision as it is only a build failure solved by adding new build dependencies.

You can see the failure with the old Portfile using trace mode: sudo port -vt configure pcre

I can’t actually reproduce this. sudo port -t configure pcre succeeds for me, and the trace library isn’t hiding anything related to Autotools:

Warning: The following existing files were hidden from the build system by trace mode:
  /opt/local/bin/ar
  /opt/local/bin/gmkdir
  /opt/local/bin/gsed
  /opt/local/bin/lipo
  /opt/local/bin/nm
  /opt/local/bin/nmedit
  /opt/local/bin/otool
  /opt/local/bin/ranlib
  /opt/local/bin/strip

But I see what the cause might be. Can you see if r129099 fixes it?

[raimue (Rainer Müller)]

Sorry, my report was slightly wrong. The error actually only appears in the build phase:

$ svn info Portfile |grep Revision

However, I can confirm that the change applied in r129099 did resolve the problem for me.
