#16949: evolution-data-server 2.24.1: Fails to build ------------------------------------+--------------------------------------- Reporter: devans@… | Owner: devans@… Type: defect | Status: closed Priority: Normal | Milestone: Port Bugs Component: ports | Version: 1.7.0 Resolution: wontfix | Keywords: Port: evolution-data-server | ------------------------------------+--------------------------------------- Changes (by devans@…): * status: assigned => closed * resolution: => wontfix Comment: The problem seems to be that if an old copy of the port is already installed, the new port will in some cases try to link to the old libraries in ${prefix} rather than refer to the new libraries being built. This actually works for minor updates where the old libraries and the new ones have the same file name and ABI, but fails for major updates where the file name changes as in my case of upgrading from the 2.22 branch to the 2.24 branch. The upstream developers apparently didn't envision this situation expecting that each install would be a fresh one or the old version uninstalled before trying to install the new one. So will close the ticket with this simple workaround: rather than using upgrade, uninstall or deactivate the old version then install the new one. Port upgraded to version 2.24.3 in r45338, r45339, r45340. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/16949#comment:11> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
