liboil success
by Robert J. Hansen 07 Dec '06

07 Dec '06

As it turns out, the bits of half-remembered gas were right. It was a problem with the .balign and .rept statements not being present in the version of gas used by Apple. The fix is fairly simple, although a bit tedious. * All instances of ".balign 16" need to be replaced with ".align 4". * All instances of ".rept 8"/".endr" need to be unrolled into linear statements, since Apple gas doesn't understand .rept. E.g.: .rept 2 .foo .endr ... gets unrolled into .foo .foo Hopefully this problem will get fixed by the liboil guys at freedesktop. If not, then I hope this is useful to the next poor schmuck who gets to wrestle with the problem. Enjoy!

liboil build failure (Mactel, OS X 10.4.8)
by Robert J. Hansen 07 Dec '06

07 Dec '06

Using the workaround on trac addressed my problem with building evolution-data-server, but it's still a hack. Still, if that problem comes up in the future, there are at least two people who have been able to get around it. The next problem is liboil. Particularly, a weird Assembler pseudo-op called ".balign" is getting introduced, and GCC apparently doesn't know how to deal with it. I'm still unable to log into trac, so I can't open a bug on this myself. In the interim, I've sent a 'port -dv install liboil' log to Daniel Ericsson. Has anyone found this .balign problem before? If so, how did it get solved? A (non- -dv) port install output follows here. ===== ---> Building liboil with target all Error: Target com.apple.build returned: shell command "cd "/opt/local/var/db/dports/build/_opt_local_var_db_dports_sources_rsync.rsync.darwinports.org_dpupdate_dports_devel_liboil/work/liboil-0.3.6" && make all" returned error 2 Command output: make all-recursive Making all in liboil Making all in colorspace make[3]: Nothing to be done for `all'.

Install issues
by Marshall Rodriquez 06 Dec '06

06 Dec '06

I tried looking through the mailing list archives and didn't see my big issue covered. Basically I've installed version 1.320 and get the following error when I try to run the selfupdate: Marshall-Rodriquezs-Computer:/opt/local/bin marshallrodriquez$ sudo ./ port selfupdate DarwinPorts base version 1.320 installed Error: ./port: selfupdate failed: couldn't open "/opt/local/var/db/ dports/sources/rsync.rsync.macports.org _dpupdate1/base/config/ dp_version": no such file or directory I checked and the folder is there, though there is a space in it which seems to be the disconnect. Is that supposed to be there? I also checked the .profile file and the recommended paths are in there, but I still have to navigate to the /opt/local/bin directory to even run the command. I should also mention that I have to use the ./ to run the command, which makes me wonder if something is set up wrong since the documentations says it should work without it. I have tried setting up the older versions of DarwinPorts before I tracked down where the current source was, if that might give any indication. If someone has had this issue or know where I could read up on it, any help will be appreciated. Thank you Marshall Rodriquez "Delay is preferable to error." Thomas Jefferson

Newbie Port Errors
by Clint Laskowski 06 Dec '06

06 Dec '06

Hello, I'm brand new to this list, but have been a Mac user since 1984 (I met Steve Jobs at SoftCon in February 1984 in New Orleans, a month after the Mac was introduced!). I'm trying to install Nepenthes (http://nepenthes.mwcollect.org/) on my iBook G4. There are some instructions on doing this at http://nepenthes.mwcollect.org/documentation:readme#mac_osx. Unfortunately, I'm unable to complete even the first command :-( Xcode2 is installed. My system is up-to-date (10.4.8). I have Internet connectivity. Here's what I get: $ sudo part install libtool # libtoolize Warning: Can't open index file for source: rsync://rsync.darwinports.org/dpupdate/dports Error: search for portname libtool failed: No index(es) found! Have you synced your source indexes? Can anyone point me in the right direction as to why this is not working, or what diagnostics I could perform to help figure this out? Any help will be very much appreciated. Thank you. -- Clint --- . Clint Laskowski, CISSP .

gnome-applets
by Randall Wood 06 Dec '06

06 Dec '06

ALCON: Here is the brief overview of the gnome-applet problem and how I am attempting to fix it: gnome-applets 2.12.x does not build, requiring a missing header from an earlier version of libxklavier or libgnomekbd. libxklavier can not be back-ported or the control-center port would break. both libgnomekbd and gnome-applets 2.14.x/2.16.x require a modern working dbus port, which I am working with the upstream dbus maintainers to get. Long term fix is to get the current (1.0.x) dbus packages running correctly in Mac OS X. A short-term fix would be to develop a libxklavier 2.2 port that does not conflict with libxklavier 3.x and then include configure arguments in gnome-applets 2.12.x that point to that version.
