Hi

I've been trying to install the devel/bazaar port using base from the release_1_6 branch but the port fails on installation. However If I use the 1.5.2 release of base then devel/bazaar installs without issue. In ticket #13042 [1] the ports maintainer has noticed that the build environment is not being correctly set when using base from the release_1_6 branch, e.g.:

DEBUG: Executing org.macports.build (bazaar) DEBUG: Environment:

whereas using 1.5.2:

DEBUG: Executing org.macports.build (bazaar) DEBUG: Environment: CFLAGS='-g -O2 -Wall -fno-strict-aliasing -I'/opt/local/include' -L'/opt/local/lib' -lintl -lneon -lgpgme -lpth'

does anyone know why base from release_1_6 branch is not setting the build environment correctly?

Cheers

Take a look at r31808 which I just committed, it turned out to be a bug in the way the Portfile was declaring its environment requirements: Correct erroneous quoting in environment variables passed to MacPorts. These we written with nested quoting as, e.g, "-L'${prefix}/lib'", but ever since Paul reworked our environemt parser back in 1.4.x days and then Anders fixed a bug in the new parser in r30273 (which happened after the 1.5.2 release), the '' subquoting level is illegal. Now a simple "-L${prefix}/lib", or even -L${prefix}/ lib without any quoting at all, suffices. This commit fixes building and destrooting of bazaar per Adam Mercer (ram)'s bug on the dev list. It turned out to not be a regression with respect to 1.5.s as I anticipated, but rather and improper declaration of the environment, which only worked back in 1.5.2 days as a side effect of the bug Anders fixed in r30273, if I'm not mistaken. Mark, would it be possible to have this (guidelines for proper environment declarations within a Portfile) documented somewhere in the guide? Thanks! Regards,... -jmpp
