#41858: libvmime: ERROR: GNU TLS development package is not installed ------------------------+-------------------------------- Reporter: darylew@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: closed Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.2.1 Resolution: wontfix | Keywords: Port: libvmime | ------------------------+-------------------------------- Changes (by ryandesign@…): * cc: ryandesign@… (added) * status: new => closed * resolution: => wontfix * port: libvmime gnutls => libvmime Comment: This is because: * libvmime's scons script gets a list of all installed pkg-config files, and fails to find the libraries it's looking for if any installed pkg- config file has a problem. I have already [https://github.com/kisli/vmime/issues/59 reported this problem] to the developers of libvmime, and they're not doing anything about it because they've already replaced the scons build system with something else but haven't released a new version of libvmime with these changes. * cyrus-sasl2's pkg-config file has a bug: #41300. The workaround is to deactivate the cyrus-sasl2 port for the duration of the libvmime build. {{{ sudo port clean libvmime sudo port -f deactivate cyrus-sasl2 sudo port install libvmime sudo port activate cyrus-sasl2 }}} Last I checked that won't work either, however, because of #41292, which I have also already [https://github.com/kisli/vmime/issues/60 reported to the developers], and which they have not yet responded to. Perhaps you could add a note to that upstream issue and encourage the developers to release a new version that fixes the problem. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/41858#comment:1> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
