devel/libtextstyle, devel/gettext*: Update to 0.26 Recent versions of gettext no longer install m4 files in PREFIX/share/aclocal. They have to be installed in the work directory by autopoint for aclocal to find them. Patch devel/autoconf so autoreconf runs autopoint when gettext related macros are used in configure.ac (e.g. AM_ICONV). Previously it only ran autopoint when AM_GNU_GETTEXT_(REQUIRE_)VERSION was used. The following ports now require autopoint (i.e. USES=gettext-tools): benchmarks/sysbench, devel/libhtp, editors/fxite, filesystems/rar2fs, graphics/gd, net/ucarp, news/fidogate, sysutils/cdrdao Other fixes: emulators/mednafen, misc/lifelines: Use older version of gettext macros. ftp/axel: Patch Makefile.am and configure.ac to get gettext working and add NLS option. ftp/wzdftpd: Use autoreconf 2.72. mail/sympa: Remove hack from configure.ac. multimedia/dvdauthor: Use ports autoreconf. net/asterisk-chan_sccp: Drop autoreconf and gettext-tools dependencies. security/pam_pkcs11: Patch configure.ac so autoreconf can find the custom directory with m4 files. sysutils/grub2-efi, sysutils/grub2-pcbsd: Add patch to run autoreconf with -f flag so it updates all files. www/wget2: Patch configure.ac to what autopoint expects.

devel/libtextstyle, devel/gettext*: Update to 0.23 comms/grig, deskutils/xpad, games/7kaa: Fix problem between autopoint (gettext) and aclocal (automake). First autopoint installs gettext m4 files in WRKSRC/m4 for the version of gettext requested in configure.ac. And then aclocal should use those files. These ports were either missing an "-I m4" flag so aclocal didn't see the autopoint m4 files but used the ones from LOCALBASE/share/aclocal, which are the wrong version, or they used the --install flag that makes aclocal copy files from LOCALBASE/share/aclocal overwriting the autopoint m4 files.

Remove WWW entries moved into port Makefiles Commit b7f05445c00f has added WWW entries to port Makefiles based on WWW: lines in pkg-descr files. This commit removes the WWW: lines of moved-over URLs from these pkg-descr files. Approved by: portmgr (tcberner)fb16dfecae
Add WWW entries to port Makefiles It has been common practice to have one or more URLs at the end of the ports' pkg-descr files, one per line and prefixed with "WWW:". These URLs should point at a project website or other relevant resources. Access to these URLs required processing of the pkg-descr files, and they have often become stale over time. If more than one such URL was present in a pkg-descr file, only the first one was tarnsfered into the port INDEX, but for many ports only the last line did contain the port specific URL to further information. There have been several proposals to make a project URL available as a macro in the ports' Makefiles, over time. This commit implements such a proposal and moves one of the WWW: entries of each pkg-descr file into the respective port's Makefile. A heuristic attempts to identify the most relevant URL in case there is more than one WWW: entry in some pkg-descr file. URLs that are not moved into the Makefile are prefixed with "See also:" instead of "WWW:" in the pkg-descr files in order to preserve them. There are 1256 ports that had no WWW: entries in pkg-descr files. These ports will not be touched in this commit. The portlint port has been adjusted to expect a WWW entry in each port Makefile, and to flag any remaining "WWW:" lines in pkg-descr files as deprecated. Approved by: portmgr (tcberner)b7f05445c0

Split devel/gettext in devel/gettext-runtime and devel/gettext-tools. The first contains runtime libraries such as libintl and the latter contains developer tools such as msgfmt. Ports that use gettext will usually need a LIB_DEPENDS on gettext-runtime and a BUILD_DEPENDS on gettext-tools. USES=gettext-runtime can be used to set a LIB/BUILD/RUN_DEPENDS on devel/gettext-runtime and USES=gettext-tools can be used to set a BUILD/RUN_DEPENDS on devel/gettext-tools. USES=gettext is now the same as "USES=gettext-runtime gettext-tools" meaning a LIB_DEPENDS on devel/gettext-runtime and a BUILD_DEPENDS on devel/gettext-tools. Update gettext to 0.19.3. Remove :oldver from converters/libiconv and devel/gettext-runtime. Leave symlinks with the old library versions to avoid the need to bump PORTREVISION on a large number of dependent ports. When most of the dependent ports have had normal version updates, PORTREVISION can be bumped on the remaining ones (low number) and the links can be removed.

Remove two libtool fixes from Mk/Uses/libtool.mk. They don't always work when an older version of a package is installed. This is the case when an executable links with installed libraries and with uninstalled libraries that link with other uninstalled libraries. For each of the directly linked libraries the executable will have an rpath (/usr/local/lib for the installed libraries and a path un With this commit executables will overlink with uninstalled indirect libraries again so their location is added to the rpath of the executable. This partially reverts r358784. PR: 191611 Approved by: portmgr (bapt)c958a48581
Add 4 new sed commands to USES=libtool. The first two apply some of the changes that Debian made to their libtool. The first command applies to libtool versions 1.4 and up. The second command is somewhat more elaborate but essentially it uses the sed hold space to move an "elif...fi" block down. It applies to 2.x. Together these reduce overlinking to unpatched .la files (from ports that don't
The third and fourth command fix relinking. During staging libtool may
relink libA when it links to another library in the work directory libB.
The reason is that libA created during build phase has its runpath set to
the location of libB in the work directory. This allows running an
executable that links to libA from within the work directory. The relink
removes this extra runpath.
When libtool relinks libA it replaces "libB.la" on the linker command line
with "-L${STAGEDIR}${PREFIX}/lib -lB" with the intention to link to libB in
the stage directory but this -L flag isn't necessarily the first so another
libB may be linked instead. The two sed commands make relink the same as a
normal link. This means libtool will relink with libraries from the work
directory using a path similar to "../srcB/.libs/libB.so" without -L flags.
This applies to libtool 1.4 and up. Earlier versions don't seem to relink
libraries.
(This fixes ports like devel/apr1 so they link with freshly built libraries
instead of installed libraries.)
