#42128: [NEW] Firebird 2.5 Portfile, still problem compiling -------------------------+-------------------------------- Reporter: jul_bsd@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: submission | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.2.1 Resolution: | Keywords: Port: Firebird | -------------------------+-------------------------------- Comment (by cal@…): The ranlib problem might go away if you just try again after it failed for the first time. Of course, that's not a permanent solution, but it would provide another datapoint that might help in debugging. I think the icu linker command might fail even due to the correct -L argument because OS X' linker will always try to find dynamic libraries (`.dylibs`) in all paths first before attempting to link against static libraries and the firebird build probably builds `libicudata.a` in `extern/icu/source/lib`. Try adding `-search_paths_first` to the LDFLAGS (although according to the manpage this behaviour changed with Xcode >= 4, which you probably have). Which files matching `libicudata.*` are there in `extern/icu/source/lib`? What does `nm $file | grep icudt` print on them? -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/42128#comment:6> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
