#22847: install of couchdb seems to install dependancy erlang without the +darwin_10 variant -----------------------------------------+---------------------------------- Reporter: cerieljacobs@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Low | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 1.8.1 Keywords: stripped variant +darwin_10 | Port: couchdb -----------------------------------------+---------------------------------- Environment: 10.6.2 XCode: 3.2.1 MacPorts: 1.8.1 64-bit: yes (also optimizations set in macports conf) When installing CouchDB, due to a build error in erlang, a message was spotted that erlang is not in the same variant: --- [user@mac ~]$ sudo port install couchdb <snip> Error: The following dependencies failed to build: erlang icu spidermonkey nspr Error: Status 1 encountered during processing. [user@mac ~]$ sudo port -v install erlang (11-12-09 23:04) Error: Requested variants "+darwin_10" do not match original selection "". Please use the same variants again, perform 'port clean erlang' or specify the force option (-f). Error: Status 1 encountered during processing. --- Isn't it better that dependencies of CouchDB are installed using the default applicable variants? Now it looks like it is better to install erlang using variant darwin_10, but that is not done due to the fact that it is installed as dependancy of CouchDB. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/22847> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
