[MacPorts] #24855: Non-universal build dependencies prevent universal builds
#24855: Non-universal build dependencies prevent universal builds -------------------------------------+-------------------------------------- Reporter: ryandesign@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: base | Version: 1.8.99 Keywords: | Port: -------------------------------------+-------------------------------------- MacPorts 1.9.0 beta 1 prevents the installation of the universal variant of some ports that had no trouble installing with the universal variant under MacPorts 1.8.2, specifically those which have build dependencies that can't build universal: {{{ bash-3.2# port install xorg-server +universal ---> Computing dependencies for xorg-serverWarning: xorg-applewmproto has no universal variant Warning: xorg-damageproto has no universal variant Warning: xorg-fontsproto has no universal variant Warning: xorg-recordproto has no universal variant Warning: xorg-resourceproto has no universal variant Warning: xorg-scrnsaverproto has no universal variant Warning: xorg-videoproto has no universal variant Warning: autoconf has no universal variant Warning: doxygen has no universal variant Error: Cannot install xorg-server for the arch(s) 'i386 x86_64' because Error: its dependency doxygen does not build for the required arch(s) by default Error: and does not have a universal variant. Error: Unable to execute port: architecture mismatch To report a bug, see <http://guide.macports.org/#project.tickets> }}} I don't think MacPorts needs to be checking that the architectures of build dependencies match the current port's requested architectures. The build dependencies' architectures just need to be compatible with the machine doing the building. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/24855> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS

I googled "depends_skip_archcheck site:macports.org", but got nothing which indicates how I would use this flag/command, or whatever it is. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/24855#comment:2> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS

This is something a port maintainer would be changing; it's not something an end user needs to be concerned with. If you are experiencing this error, you should file a ticket so the maintainer of the applicable port can make the needed change. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/24855#comment:4> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS

Joshua, the ticket has already been opened, and closed (!@#!@%), quite a few times over the last year. When closed, the message is "don't build universal", but I cannot work out how to do this. To get through my roadblock, I think I need to work out how to add depends_skip_archcheck to the port as an enduser. I am not an expert in ports, or a unix sysadmin, but an AI researcher - so this type of thing is not my specialty. So, is that the correct thing to do? How would I do it? -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/24855#comment:5> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS

We should not be adding more comments to it. I assume you are referring to the smpeg ticket #26937 so any further comments about that issue should be continued there. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/24855#comment:6> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
