#51137: Cannot build gobject-introspection when python+ucs4 is installed ------------------------------------+------------------------ Reporter: audvare@… | Owner: juanrgar@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.3.4 Resolution: | Keywords: Port: gobject-introspection | ------------------------------------+------------------------ Comment (by ryandesign@…): You should attach the main.log file so that we can see exactly what went wrong. The use of the python ports' +ucs4 variant is not recommended, because it causes build failures of some other ports. MacPorts doesn't have the ability for a port to declare a dependency on a variant of another port. See #126. As much as possible, variants should not be used for capabilities that other ports might need to depend on. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/51137#comment:2> MacPorts <https://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X

When I run `port upgrade outdated` I get the below output:

{{{ ---> Computing dependencies for atk.. ---> Dependencies to be installed: gobject-introspection ---> Configuring gobject-introspection Error: org.macports.configure for port gobject-introspection returned: You have python installed with the +ucs4 variant.

Error: The following dependencies were not installed: gobject- introspection Error: Unable to upgrade port: 1 }}}

The relevant message here is {{{ You have python installed with the +ucs4 variant. Please build gobject- introspection with +python_ucs4 }}}

I manually installed gobject-introspection with `+python_ucs4` and it

still does not see it. I'm not sure what you mean here by 'still does not see it' but the following commands work for me: {{{ $ sudo port install python27 +ucs $ sudo port install gobject-introspection +python_ucs4 $ port installed python27 gobject-introspection gobject-introspection @1.48.0_0 gobject-introspection @1.48.0_0+python_ucs4 (active) python27 @2.7.11_2 python27 @2.7.11_2+ucs4 (active) }}} Keep in mind, however, that as stated above, using python27 +ucs is known to cause problems with some ports so if you don't really need to use it, best is to not do so. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/51137#comment:4> MacPorts <https://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X

It's when I run `port upgrade outdated` that this does not work and I get the output I gave, even after running `port install gobject- introspection +python_ucs4`.

Will check this. Upgrade should use the same variants as previously installed.

For now I will undo ucs4, but a non-wide version of Python is pretty

weird nowadays. Packages like [https://pypi.python.org/pypi/Unidecode#requirements Unidecode] become almost useless once you want characters outside the BMP. Is there any consideration to make ucs4 the default or not even allow it to be disabled? I'm not one of the python maintainers but it has been some time since I heard about these issues and it may be that it's time the current stance should be re-evalutated and modified if warranted. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/51137#comment:6> MacPorts <https://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
