#46949: pairs: build failure Generating pairs_SRCS.icns ----------------------------+--------------------- Reporter: greisberger@… | Owner: nicos@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: Resolution: | Keywords: Port: pairs | ----------------------------+--------------------- Comment (by greisberger@…): @mk: Well, the key is perhaps "on a new Yosemite" I had successively Mountain Lion, Mavericks and Yosemite on m machine, with the corresponding MacPorts, Xcode & command line tools. But I now remember that I already had this problem when I migrated to Yosemite (following https://trac.macports.org/wiki/Migration). I then had these icon generation errors for the 1st time, but forgot to report them at this time. @rjvbertin: Yes, the error is in the cop, because the icon generation command a few lines before does not create the icon, although the command is correct. Repeating the port command does not help. It fails exactly at the same point. To successfully install a port, I have to: 1. sudo port install <port> 2. if ok, cool, stop here 3. get last icontool command list in the build log 4. execute this command with sudo in a terminal 5. go back to step 1 I don't know very well MacPorts internals, but since I do a "sudo port install", I imagine that icontool should be called with root rights, exactly like when I execute the icontool command with sudo. That's really weird. As far as I can remember, this happened to me only for KDE ports. I don't know if there are other, non-KDE ports that use icontool to generate icns files. Do you know any? I could try one to see if it's really linked to KDE ports. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/46949#comment:5> MacPorts <https://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
