Problem installing libcompat
by Gary Ross 18 Apr '07

18 Apr '07

On a PowerPC G5 running OS X 10.4.9 with all the latest versions of Macports (1.4.1) and Developer tools. I'm getting this error: 11:04:04 $ sudo port install libcompat [ ////////////// sudo port install libcompat +darwin_8 gives the same result ] Password: ---> Building libcompat 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_dp orts_devel_libcompat/work/libcompat" && bsdmake all " returned error 1 Command output: Warning: Object directory not changed from original / opt/local/var/db/dports/build/ _opt_local_var_db_dports_sources_rsync.rsync.darwinports.org_dpupdate_dp orts_devel_libcompat/work/libcompat building shared library libcompat.1.dylib powerpc-apple-darwin8-gcc-4.0.1: libcompat.1.dylib: No such file or directory *** Error code 1 Stop in /opt/local/var/db/dports/build/ _opt_local_var_db_dports_sources_rsync.rsync.darwinports.org_dpupdate_dp orts_devel_libcompat/work/libcompat.

Question about darwinports_fastload.tcl
by Bernard Desgraupes 18 Apr '07

18 Apr '07

Just out of curiosity, I've been poking my nose in the various Tcl packages which implement the port command and the following condition found at the end of darwinports_fastload.tcl (in /Library/Tcl/darwinports1.0) strikes me as very odd if { "/usr/lib/sqlite3" != "" } { set dir "/usr/lib/sqlite3" catch {source [file join $dir pkgIndex.tcl]} } Isn't it a typo ? I suppose the intended condition is rather something like: if { [file exists "/usr/lib/sqlite3"] && [file isdirectory "/usr/lib/sqlite3"]} { set dir "/usr/lib/sqlite3" catch {source [file join $dir pkgIndex.tcl]} } cheers, Bernard

MacPorts v1.4.2 released
by James Berry 18 Apr '07

18 Apr '07

MacPorts 1.4.2 has been released for selfupdate. It should hit the rsync servers in an hour or so. 1.4.2 is a minor bug fix release, cut quickly because 1.4.1 didn't build properly on panther (Mac OS X 10.3.x). ChangeLog entries: Release 1.4.2 (16-Apr-2007): - New logic for variants overload that basically yields to listing only variant +universal on ports that redefine it (pguyot in 24100). - Implement brand new fs-traverse command in Pextlib. See portfile.7 for documentation (eridius in r24079, r24080, and r24112). - Add per-user preferences in ~/.macports/user.conf. This will be used for submitter information. Simplify selection of ports.conf file: - ~/.portsrc is no longer supported. - Search order for ports.conf is now: - PORTSRC - ~/.macports/ports.conf - ${prefix}/etc/ports.conf Only the first file found will be parsed and used. (jberry r24071, r24113, r24114) - Improvements on livecheck: fixed a report bug, improved ruby group default behavior (pguyot in r24026 and r24018) - Remove xar from the build. xar doesn't build on panther due to a libxml2 lib too old for xar requirements. We'll find another way to deal with xar, perhaps by requiring users to install the xar port when they need its services. (jberry r24107:r24108) - Remove configure switch for building launchd support. (jberry r24107:r24108) - Remove compatibility upgrade for conf files from darwinports 1.1 to 1.2. (jberry r24106).

Be alert for the heimdal port's instance of "su"
by Tabitha McNerney 18 Apr '07

18 Apr '07

I can't seem to recall why, but last week a port I was trying to install depended on the heimdal port. So I installed it and went on my merry way ... until today that is, when I ended up doing this for: $ sudo su - postgres81 Whoops! That "su" is not the "su" you might be thinking of. That "su" is: /path/to/macports/bin/su as in /opt/local/bin/su installed by the heimdal port. Yikes! More than one su to choose from? Could be scary for the unaware! The problem is that by default the Heimdal "su" wants to use Kerberos so it stops and asks you ( even though you've first sudo'ed to root using Apple's "sudo") what is the password for the user you're su'ing to (in the case above postgres81). If you don't have kerberos running then it will complain but will then revert to your local NetInfo domain (or I presume Open Directory or LDAP) for accessing passwords. Regarding not having kerberos running, no problem, the Heimdal man page says you can disable the default kerberos check with a "-K" but that would then mean that you'd have to do "su -K postgresql81", and that would mean you'd have to manually modify startup scripts such as that used by the postgres81 user for firing up PostgreSQL 8.1.x that its launchd plist in /Library/LaunchDaemons points to. It might be worth the extra manual work but it probably depends on your needs. Yeah, there are other ways to force use of /usr/bin/su but anyway, the Heimdal cloaking of su threw me off today so I thought I'd warn others ahead of time in case there are some ports that depend on Heimdal and you end up installing (without deactivating) Heimdal in the process. BTW, absolutely no offense meant toward Landon who maintains the Heimdal MacPort. Best regards, T.M.

Port Manual page missing
by Hezekiah Barnes 17 Apr '07

17 Apr '07

It appears I'm missing almost all my manual pages for my ports including the port man page itself. Anyone see this & know how to fix it. The paths are correct in man.conf but the manual pages seem to have disappeared. Only thing I've done recently was to upgrade to 1.40 & recently 1.42 Hezekiah

How to uninstall all gnome?
by Watson Ladd 17 Apr '07

I have the following problem: $sudo port uninstall category:gnome and installed results in complaints about gnome-vfs depending on gconf. Is there a way to tell macports to do things in dependency order? Thanks, Watson Ladd

MacPorts 1.4.1 released for self update
by James Berry 17 Apr '07

17 Apr '07

MacPorts 1.4.1 has been released for selfupdate. It should hit the rsync servers within an hour or so. If you already have macports installed, simply "sudo port selfupdate". If you're doing a new install, install from the 1.4.0 disk image, then do a selfupdate. MacPorts 1.4.1 is a minor bugfix/feature release. ChangeLog entries include: Release 1.4.1 (14-Apr-2007): - Add responsive, reasonably fast http mirrors to openbsd group (pipping in r23343). - Resolved ticket #11637: livecheck incorrectly assumed that master_sites was set. (pguyot in r23329). - Add xar 1.4 into the build of MacPorts base. xar is now installed into /opt/local/, which will conflict with anybody who has the xar port installed. (jberry in r23687). - Add -I${prefix}/include -L${prefix}/lib to the default configure flags (pguyot in r23246 and r23291). - New options for configure flags (C|CPP|CXX|LD)FLAGS and logic to handle that and backward compatibility (pguyot in r23089, r23125, r23238, r23248 and r23249). - "port sync" now updates svn repos too (eridius in r22784). - Default +universal variant for configure-based ports (pguyot in r22313). - Fixed use of master_site in livecheck, added support for code.google.com checks, made the up to date message info (instead of debug) and improved debugging output with livecheck (eridius in r23888, r23889, r23890, r23894; pguyot in 23660) - Fixed a bug where running port test would not install dependencies when required. (pguyot in r23700) - New ruby portgroup option to specify the name of the module for gem-based ports. (pguyot in 23659) - New fetch option to ignore the SSL certificate when fetching from a secure site (default is to not ignore it). (pguyot in r23242) - Bugfix #11720. Fixes for variants.conf functionality. (jberry in r23967)

gtk26 cancel
by Teus Benschop 17 Apr '07

17 Apr '07

Here is a request for the person(s) who are adding or removing ports. The gtk26 port was originally brought in because the gtk2 port wasn't performing so well in certain areas. But these days the gtk2 port is working well, and there is no need anymore for the gtk26 port. Is it possible to remove this port? I am listed as the maintainer of the gtk26 port, and these days this port doesn't seem to compile anymore, and I see no need to maintain this port any longer seeing the gtk2 port does well. Teus.

Re: Failing to install gmime (dependency on gtk-sharp?)

Yes, you are correct: > checking for mcs... /usr/bin/mcs > checking whether /usr/bin/mcs is GNU Mono... yes Wow.

That would probably be a good idea.
