#22613: postgis-1.4.0 install error - xsldir needs setting ----------------------------------+----------------------------------------- Reporter: rbeyer@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 1.8.1 Keywords: | Port: ----------------------------------+----------------------------------------- If MacPorts is installed in a non-standard location (e.g. /opt/macports/ in this case), the installation of postgis will fail with: {{{ /opt/macports/bin/xsltproc ./xsl/postgis_aggs_mm.xml.xsl reference.xml > postgis_aggs_mm.xml cat postgis.xml | sed "s/@@LAST_RELEASE_VERSION@@/1.4.0/g" > postgis- out.xml /opt/macports/bin/xsltproc --param section.autolabel 1 --param section.label.includes.component.label 1 --param chunk.section.depth 0 --param generate.section.toc.level 1 --param funcsynopsis.style ansi --param admon.graphics 1 --param admon.textlabel 0 --param simplesect.in.toc 0 --param use.id.as.filename 1 --param chunk.quietly 1 --stringparam html.stylesheet style.css \ --output html/postgis.html \ /html/docbook.xsl \ postgis-out.xml warning: failed to load external entity "/html/docbook.xsl" cannot parse /html/docbook.xsl make[1]: *** [html/postgis.html] Error 4 make: *** [docs-install] Error 2 Error: Status 1 encountered during processing. }}} This fails because the postgis ./configure script is scanning the 'normal' places for docbook-xsl, but since it is in the MacPorts location (which in this case is non-standard), it cannot be found. Adding the following to configure.args in the Portfile fixes the issue: {{{--with-xsldir=${prefix}/share/xsl/docbook-xsl}}} ps - Sorry for not having the time to submit a patch file. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/22613> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
