Locating dependencies for Apache server

With an up-to-date ports tree running on FreeBSD 10.2-RELEASE

cd /usr/ports/www/apache24/ && make install clean
Code: 
===>  apache24-2.4.18 depends on executable: autoconf-2.69 - not found
===>  autoconf-2.69 depends on executable: gm4 - not found
===>  autoconf-2.69 depends on executable: gm4 - not found
*** Error code 1

Stop.
make[2]: stopped in /usr/ports/devel/autoconf
*** Error code 1

Stop.
make[1]: stopped in /usr/ports/www/apache24
*** Error code 1

Stop.
make: stopped in /usr/ports/www/apache24

Oh dear, Apache won't install.

Working backwards - I tried cd /usr/ports/devel/autoconf && make install clean but am thwarted with:
Code: 
===>  autoconf-2.69 depends on executable: gm4 - not found
===>  autoconf-2.69 depends on executable: gm4 - not found
*** Error code 1

Stop.
make: stopped in /usr/ports/devel/autoconf

OK, where does gm4 hang out? Anyways, pkg() should be smart enough to find these guys, no?

Thanks in advance.

Yes, but pkg(8) has nothing to do with this. A port checks for the existence of a specific executable or library to see if its dependencies are installed.

Hang on, am I getting closer following:

http://www.freshports.org/www/apache24/

and installing:

Code: 
[LIST=1]
[*]libcrypto.so.8 : security/openssl
[*]autoconf-2.69 : devel/autoconf
[*]autoheader-2.69 : devel/autoconf
[*]autoreconf-2.69 : devel/autoconf
[*]aclocal-1.15 : devel/automake
[*]automake-1.15 : devel/automake
[*]libtoolize : devel/libtool
[/LIST]


prior to Apache?

Anything in your /etc/make.conf ?

Erm...it seems this is undefined:

ls -l /etc/
Code: 
...
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  566 Aug 12 11:27 mac.conf
drwxr-xr-x  3 root  wheel  512 Aug 17 09:58 mail
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  106 Aug 12 11:27 mail.rc
-rw-------  1 root  wheel  1838 Nov 22 04:17 master.passwd
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  937 Aug 17 09:58 motd
drwxr-xr-x  2 root  wheel  512 Aug 12 11:27 mtree

It sure is.

I go in search of my dependencies:

cd /usr/ports/devel/m4/ && make install clean
# cd /usr/ports/misc/help2man/ && make install clean
Code: 
 autoconf-2.69 depends on executable: autoconf-wrapper - not found
cd /usr/ports/devel/autoconf-wrapper/ && make install clean


Code: 
cd /usr/ports/www/apache24/ && make install clean
===>  apache24-2.4.18 depends on executable: autoconf-2.69 - found
===>  apache24-2.4.18 depends on executable: autoheader-2.69 - found
===>  apache24-2.4.18 depends on executable: autoreconf-2.69 - found
===>  apache24-2.4.18 depends on executable: aclocal-1.15 - found
===>  apache24-2.4.18 depends on executable: automake-1.15 - found
===>  apache24-2.4.18 depends on executable: libtoolize - found
===>  apache24-2.4.18 depends on shared library: libexpat.so - found (/usr/local/lib/libexpat.so)
===>  apache24-2.4.18 depends on shared library: libapr-1.so - not found
===>  apr-1.5.2.1.5.4 depends on shared library: libexpat.so - found (/usr/local/lib/libexpat.so)
===>  apr-1.5.2.1.5.4 depends on shared library: libgdbm.so - not found
===>  apr-1.5.2.1.5.4 depends on shared library: libgdbm.so - not found
*** Error code 1

Stop.
make[3]: stopped in /usr/ports/devel/apr1
*** Error code 1

*** Error code 1

Stop.
make[1]: stopped in /usr/ports/www/apache24
*** Error code 1

OK. What now? (Wipe the disk) It shouldn't be this tricky. Really?

I remember the autoconf ports being quite broken if you somehow manage to leave behind files from the previous installs, the ports fail then to recognize the need to install their dependencies properly. Try installing devel/m4, devel/autoconf and devel/autoconf-wrapper from packages:

# pkg install devel/autoconf devel/autoconf-wrapper devel/m4

If that fails with some error use pkg install -f instead.

Are you, or do you know of a command which can clean-up broken or fragmented partially installed ports?

I just tried: pkg autoremove and
cd /usr/ports/www/apache24/ && make clean

I have occasionally used something like, finds files and symbolic links that are not part of an installed package:

# find /usr/local\( -type f -or -type l \) -exec pkg which {} \; | grep "not found in the database"

You'll have to then inspect the output and decide if a file is a leftover, something under /usr/local/bin is very likely a leftover, /usr/local/etc is a different story because that's where your own configuration files go.
 
You could try out the newest addition to the package builder tool family, ports-mgmt/synth. It avoids a lot of the problems like these with leftover files when building ports over a live system. I've had good success with it so far.
