I have a fix for it here, since I'm working on a emacs port update anyway and CI happened to fail for the base port.
Note: See
TracTickets for help on using
tickets.
emacs patches configure.ac, but does not run autoreconf. This should be fixed. Dependencies on autoconf, automake, libtool need to be added as well.
Because this was not done, the configure phase fails when it tries to automatically run autoconf which fails because autoconf is not there:
This problem was introduced in [46f24f45c2b924893a2a35e0d7ebcaa3a6a2762c/macports-ports] when patch-configure.diff was changed from patching configure to patching configure.ac.
The gtk and inline variants and the -devel subports already have autotools dependencies; they can be removed there once they are added to the port globally.
