Hello,

I already read that, but I was believing that whith
"USE_LIBTOOL_VER=15", the port was still making and installing a .la
file. I was wrong.

I have another port that when I put "USE_LIBTOOL_VER=15", then the
configure script says:

updating cache ./config.cache
true: Can't open true: No such file or directory
configure: error: libtool configure failed

What does it mean?

Thanks and Best Regards,
Ale
