error installing DarwinPorts or MacPorts: no acceptable C compiler
by jwegelin 21 Dec '07

21 Dec '07

Dear Macports Users: I am attempting to install MacPorts or DarwinPorts. When I follow the directions at http://darwinports.com/download/ (after typing in my email address), an error says "no acceptable C compiler." My MacBook Pro was purchased circa July 2007 and runs Mac OS 10.4.11. Do I have to purchase a C compiler before I can install MacPorts or DarwinPorts? What C compiler should I purchase or download? Details: I downloaded DarwinPorts-1.5.0-10.4.dmg and doubleclicked it. This brought up a dialog box which said it was installing MacPorts. After several minutes the dialog box said it was finished. Then, following instructions at http://darwinports.com/download/?email=jwegelin%40vcu.edu&x=53&y=12 I typed sudo port -d selfupdate which resulted in a lot of text scrolling past, ending with the folowing error message: configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH See `config.log' for more details. while executing "macports::selfupdate [array get global_options]" Error: /opt/local/bin/port: selfupdate failed: Error installing new MacPorts base: shell command "cd /opt/local/var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/release/base && ./configure --prefix=/opt/local --with-install-user=root --with-install-group=admin --with-tclpackage=/Library/Tcl && make && make install" returned error 1 Command output: checking build system type... i686-apple-darwin8.11.1 checking host system type... i686-apple-darwin8.11.1 checking target system type... i686-apple-darwin8.11.1 checking for sw_vers... sw_vers checking Mac OS X version... 10.4.11 checking MacPorts version... 1.6.0 checking for gcc... no checking for cc... no checking for cl.exe... no configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH See `config.log' for more details. Inicidentally, the only reason I am trying to install this, is so that I might install pine or alpine (email client) on my Mac. Would MacPorts or DarwinPorts be an easy way to get pine (or preferably alpine) installed properly on my Mac? Also, is MacPorts the same as DarwinPorts? The file I downloaded was called DarwinPorts, but after I doublelicked it, the name MacPorts started coming up. Thanks for any info Jacob Wegelin

No, we surely do not want to use gcc43, because that is not a final version. We want to use gcc42, unless we can prove that the port does not work with gcc42 but would work with gcc43. But I doubt that's the case. > BTW, a fix for g95 has not been commited. > Could you take a look? > > <http://trac.macports.org/projects/macports/ticket/13190> I'll have a look.

Error in w3m Portfile

Installing w3m fails because in the portfile the line checksums md5 ba06992d3207666ed1bf2dcf7c72bf58 contains spaces rather than a TAB. -- Piet van Oostrum <piet(a)cs.uu.nl> URL: http://www.cs.uu.nl/~piet [PGP 8DAE142BE17999C4] Private email: piet(a)vanoostrum.org

general dependency questions
by Brian Barnes 21 Dec '07

21 Dec '07

Hello, I'm new to macports and experimenting with it. To that end, I was wondering if there is a simple way to list all dependencies recursively in macports. For example, the standard 'macports deps foo' command does not list the deps of the deps. I found a perl script that does something similar in nature here: http:// lists.macosforge.org/pipermail/macports-users/2007-April/002481.html But, I mean, who wants to run perl scripts instead of a port command? :) Also, the portfile for grace has the following dependency line: depends_lib lib:libX11.6:XFree86 \ X11 for Leopard provide X11R7 (instead of 6) and is based on xorg, not XFree86. But, I know that macports grace works in Leopard. So I'm wondering, how exactly is that line parsed? How badly malformed would it have to be, before macports tries to compile XFree86 itself or just refuses to install? thanks for reading, Brian

patch for xfig
by Miguel Cerviño 21 Dec '07

21 Dec '07

Hello, I have been investigated on the xfig installation (I found some unsolved problems in the list). I have found that the installation have a problem with the Xaw3d @1.5E_1 installation: xfig can be compiled with Xaw3d (standar previous version) and Xaw3d1.5. By default it assumes that libXaw3d refers to the standar version and that the new version is in libXaw3d15e, but macports call the 3d1.5 library as libXaw3d (I suppose that it is done for compatibility with other programs). Any case, it produces a chrash in xfig ... (I have try to modified the Imakefile to use new Xaw3d library but it does not works...) So the only solution I have found is to use xfig without the Xaw3d library at all... I include the corresponding patch-Imakefile below (that would replace the path_imakefile in /opt/local/var/macports/ sources/rsync.macports.org/release/ports/graphics/xfig/files ) I hope it solve problems for other people... cheers miguel
