#43791: grsync: intltool configuration fails if perl5 variant is not default, post-activate actions ----------------------+---------------------------- Reporter: devans@… | Owner: mschamschula@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: Keywords: | Port: grsync ----------------------+---------------------------- Newly submitted port grsync fails during intltool configuration if perl5 is installed with a non-default variant (not +perl5_16). To reproduce {{{ $ sudo port install perl5 +perl5_12 $ sudo port -d configure grsync ... checking whether NLS is requested... yes checking for intltool-update... /opt/local/bin/intltool-update checking for intltool-merge... /opt/local/bin/intltool-merge checking for intltool-extract... /opt/local/bin/intltool-extract checking for xgettext... /opt/local/bin/xgettext checking for msgmerge... /opt/local/bin/msgmerge checking for msgfmt... /opt/local/bin/msgfmt checking for gmsgfmt... /opt/local/bin/msgfmt checking for perl... /opt/local/bin/perl checking for perl >= 5.8.1... 5.12.5 checking for XML::Parser... configure: error: XML::Parser perl module is required for intltool Command failed: cd "/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_macports_trunk_dports_net_grsync/grsync/work/grsync-1.2.4" && ./configure --prefix=/opt/local --disable-unity Exit code: 2 Error: Failed to configure grsync, consult /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_macports_trunk_dports_net_grsync/grsync/work/grsync-1.2.4/config.log Error: org.macports.configure for port grsync returned: configure failure: command execution failed }}} In addition, the port installs a .desktop file and hicolor icons which require post-activate actions for proper installation. The attached patch uses autoreconf to recreate configure using the MacPorts version of intltool.m4 which will fix the failure above. In addition a post-activate phase is added which updates the desktop file database and the hicolor icon cache to include the files added by this port. A dependency on desktop-file-utils is added which provides the necessary utility update-desktop-database. Let me know if you want me to commit these changes. You might also consider adding openmaintainer as well as yourself to the maintainer line so that other maintainers can commit minor changes in your absence. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/43791> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
