adding in an autoreconf will fix you up.

use_automake        yes
+use_autoreconf      yes

to do this, open the portfile

sudo vi `port file libvirt-glib`

and paste

use_autoreconf      yes

right under the existing

use_automake      yes

Thanks, that results in a successful build, but is there something preventing this becoming a more permanent solution, so that I don't have to do this every time the portfile is updated?

[kencu (Ken)]

Would you be interested in discovering how to use git to make a pull request (PR) to allow that to happen? It's not too difficult to do, and the more of us who know how to do that, the better it is for everyone!!

[hexadecagram ({16/7})]

Sure, send me an email and we'll continue the conversation.

In the future, please Cc the port maintainers (port info --maintainers libvirt-glib), if any.

In 9532dc31841c5fe0fa1dfb4e09d9f2be1d794e13/macports-ports:

libvirt-glib: Fix build with use_autoreconf

use_automake in the Portfile results in a build failure. kencu made the
initial suggestion of adding use_autoreconf and raimue followed up by
saying that use_automake could be removed altogether.

Add gtk-doc dependency required by autoreconf.
