#37364: ntfs-3g (error: C compiler cannot create executables) ----------------------+--------------------- Reporter: mkk@… | Owner: petri@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.1.2 Resolution: | Keywords: Port: ntfs-3g | ----------------------+--------------------- Comment (by frank_bla1@…): I can double this. I've just reinstalled my MBP from scratch, then installed xcode, including command line tools and MacPorts 2.1.2. So i started from a completely blank MacPorts instance and just did a "port install ntfs-3g". It then installed: {{{ fuse4x @0.9.2 fuse/fuse4x fuse4x-kext @0.9.2 fuse/fuse4x-kext libiconv @1.14 textproc/libiconv pkgconfig @0.27.1 devel/pkgconfig }}} and while installing ntfs-3g, the above error occured. After some fiddling around, I tried "port install autoconf" - which added the following stuff (which is pretty much, for the single purpose of mounting some ntfs disks :-( ). {{{ autoconf @2.69 devel/autoconf expat @2.1.0 textproc/expat fuse4x @0.9.2 fuse/fuse4x fuse4x-kext @0.9.2 fuse/fuse4x-kext gdbm @1.10 databases/gdbm gettext @0.18.2 devel/gettext help2man @1.40.10 textproc/help2man libiconv @1.14 textproc/libiconv m4 @1.4.16 devel/m4 ncurses @5.9 devel/ncurses ntfs-3g @2012.1.15 fuse/ntfs-3g p5.12-locale-gettext @1.50.0 perl/p5-locale-gettext perl5 @5.12.4 lang/perl5 perl5.12 @5.12.4 lang/perl5.12 pkgconfig @0.27.1 devel/pkgconfig }}} But now you can see ntfs-3g is successfully installed. "autoconf" is mentioned as a dependency for fuse4x in the ports list on the macports homepage. I don't know if this (and the other dependencies) are really needed for ntfs-3g. Hopefully someone could sort this out? Thanks, Frank -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/37364#comment:4> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
