#14841: openexr-1.4.0 fails to build --------------------------------+------------------------------------------- Reporter: gargasm@gmail.com | Owner: waqar@macports.org Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Port Bugs Component: ports | Version: 1.6.0 Resolution: | Keywords: kde openexr build fail --------------------------------+------------------------------------------- Comment (by gargasm@gmail.com): hi. re: minor glitches. i think i was a bit over-zealous in my plurality. most of the symlinking was done to get another non-macports piece of software to complie using macports-installed libraries and showing it where they were. there was only one true glitch in my kde-3.5.8 install before the current ticket, but it was addressed in the following tickets (sort of): #11139: BUG: automake fails to build #7556: BUG: popt (1.10.4_1) upgrade fails with perl5.8 @ 5.8.8_0+darwin_8 i was also hanging on a perl crash when building automake. however, the tip in ticket #7556 suggested downgrading perl and reinstalling the port, but that ticket implied downgrading the macports install of perl to 5.8.7, which seems to no longer be available. i was able to workaround this by replacing the hard link /opt/local/bin/perl, which points to /opt/local/bin/perl5.8.8 (is this the case?), with a symlink to /usr/bin/perl5.8.6, which comes with 10.4.x. this was the only symlink i really had to make to get a macports port to install. long hours staring at a terminal can make memory a bit fuzzy, but i guess that's what logs are for. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/ticket/14841#comment:2> MacPorts </projects/macports> Ports system for Mac OS
