>Okay, Actually the BUILD_DEPENDS already contains devel/m4 and the m4 i got is not in my local dir, so it is too old, and providing a path would work ( i tried to put M4= in CONFIGURE_ENV ) did not work, so i went to m4 package and i am scratching my head The package references libsigsegv well in WANTLIB and LIB_DEPENDS but the command `make` simply refuses to do anything because the explicitly marked dependencies is not fulfilled, and the program is not even trying ... in complete head scratching mode i change the Makefile to add BUILD_DEPENDS with of course no effect.
