Comment 1 Fridrich Strba 2010-09-30 00:23:02 UTC 
This means, that the pkg.m4 that is part of the pkg-config package was not found, please, try to run the autogen.sh this way:
ACLOCAL_FLAGS='-I/usr/local/share/aclocal' ./autogen.sh --with-distro=LibreOfficeMacOSX --with-git --with-num-cpus=2
That should pick it correctly given where your pkg-config is and then the configure should pass well.

That fixes the problem for me. Now it configures. Thanks a bunch!
Comment 3 Thorsten Behrens (allotropia) 2010-09-30 00:30:52 UTC 
Confirmed. Currently OSX builds need a few bits and pieces from MacPorts, among them pkg-config.

Which is of course pathetically extraneous - would you be up to make those places conditional?

Like this:

if test "z`uname -s`" != "zDarwin"; then
  <blah>
fi

(my boxen are infested with tools I need for other projects, so any help here from someone with a clean install greatly appreciated)
Comment 4 Thorsten Behrens (allotropia) 2010-09-30 00:33:15 UTC 
Hrm, crossing comments -

Ole, would you be willing to clean up configure.in a bit, according to my text above?

I'll try to look into it.

(In reply to comment #4)

I have been trying a construct like this:

# MacOSX doesnt have pkg-config
if test "z`uname -s`" != "zDarwin"; then
   AC_PATH_PROG(PKG_CONFIG, pkg-config)
   if test ! -x "$PKG_CONFIG" ; then
      AC_MSG_ERROR([
   *** You need the latest pkg-config.
   *** Get the latest version of pkg-config from
   *** <http://www.freedesktop.org/software/pkgconfig/>.])
   fi
   AC_SUBST(PKG_CONFIG)

   PKG_CHECK_MODULES( FOO_COMMON,
                   [ libxml-2.0 fontconfig >= 1.0.1 ],
                   have_common=true, have_common=false )
fi

But this will get the same configure problem. My autoconf-foo is not as good as it should be - can anyone see whats wrong?

I have removed the pkg-config i had installed (MacOSX 10.6 doesnt supply pkg-config), to be sure my local installation is clean.

Another problem will be wget, which download.in will need.
Comment 7 Raphael Bircher 2010-10-01 05:27:31 UTC 
Change prio add myself to CC

@torsten please have a look
Comment 8 Thorsten Behrens (allotropia) 2010-10-04 01:10:53 UTC 
Workaround available, reducing prio - will look into mac today, though.
Comment 9 Thorsten Behrens (allotropia) 2010-11-05 02:45:16 UTC 
Ok, the pkg-config problem is fixed. There's one remaining issue, when not using MacPorts, on a 10.4 box - AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE([1.8b tar-ustar]) is not supported. This has some chance to get fixed implicitely, as we retire this configure in favour of the one from bootstrap. For the while, this option is though necessary.

Anyway, since the reported problem is fixed -> resolving as fixed.
