Compiling transcode on OSX
by David Liontooth 01 May '07

01 May '07

We're trying to sort out why transcode isn't compiling on OSX: >From: achurch(a)achurch.org (Andrew Church) >To: transcode-devel(a)exit1.org >Subject: Re: [transcode-devel] Re: Compiling transcode >Date: Fri, 27 Apr 2007 08:52:42 JST >X-WWMF-Version: 3.2.20070423.2@fries >Reply-To: transcode Developers Mailing List <transcode-devel(a)exit1.org> > >>> gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -D_REENTRANT -DLINUX -I.. -Wall >>> -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -g >>> -O2 >>> -no-cpp-precomp -D_INTL_REDIRECT_MACROS -MT tcmemcpy.lo -MD -MP -MF >>> .deps/tcmemcpy.Tpo -c tcmemcpy.c -fno-common -DPIC -o .libs/ >>> tcmemcpy.o >>> /var/tmp//ccMwDlN6.s:43:missing or invalid immediate expression >>> `0b111' >>> taken as 0 > >What version of binutils are you using?

I responded I don't know how to determine what OSX is using natively. How is that done? I then installed the port of FSF's binutils, reconfigured transcode and recompiled, but the build failed in exactly the same way. How do I know if the FSF binutils is being used? >>> /var/tmp//ccMwDlN6.s:206:Alignment too large: 15. assumed. > >This should only happen on x86 if you're compiling to a.out, which is >ancient, or (again) if your assembler is too old.

I responded I tried to compile with --disable-mmx, and also --disable-sse and --disable-sse2, individually and collectively, and it had absolutely no effect on the build -- it fails in exactly the same way. Suggestions would be much appreciated. Dave

Developer access to OSX machine
by David Liontooth 01 May '07

01 May '07

We're having problems compiling transcode 1.0.3 on MacIntel, though not on PPC. It is triggered by some assembly code and may be binutils related. Does the macports project have development/built machines? Is there a macintel development machine someone from the transcode development team could have long-term access to? Dave

new Portfile for version bump of mutt-devel
by Olaf Foellinger 01 May '07

01 May '07

Hi, I've added bug https://svn.macosforge.org/projects/macports/ticket/11876 to trac together with a diff file for the port file which bumps mutt-devel to current version 1.5.15. I would also agree to take over the maintainership which means I accept patches and add them to the portfile rather than updating all the variants mysel. Please check the bug and commit the file to the repository. Gruss Olaf

Re: GNU configure options
by Matt Eckhaus 01 May '07

01 May '07

Yes, I think that would be a good idea. I worked out how to enable it and it works great. To answer my own original question: to change the GNU configure options, edit the Portfile for the package you are installing. You can find the portfile by running 'port file [packagename]'. I'm mentioning it here for posterity - it doesn't seem to be included in any MacPorts documentation - I found it on an archive of a DarwinPorts list.

A patch for installing php5 -macosx +apache
by js 30 Apr '07

30 Apr '07

Hi list. Here's a patch I created to install php5 -macosx +apache. (PHP5 module for MacPorts' Apache1) --- php5.orig 2007-04-29 02:57:12.000000000 +0900 +++ php5.new 2007-04-29 03:18:41.000000000 +0900 @@ -138,6 +138,10 @@ variant apache conflicts apache2 fastcgi { if { ! [variant_isset macosx] } { depends_lib-append \ + port:kerberos5 + configure.args-append \ + --with-kerberos=${prefix} + depends_lib-append \ path:${prefix}/sbin/apxs:apache configure.args-append \ --with-apxs=${prefix}/sbin/apxs The reason I added kerberos5 to the depends_lib is that c-client, another depends_lib of php5, seems to require Kerberos. (Look at http://jp.php.net/imap for further info) Probably I don't need c-client, or should I say I know next to nothing about c-client So this patch is not a good way of solving this. Any comments, suggestions would greatly appriciated.

PureDarwin?

Anyone know anything about PureDarwin [1]? I assume if it actually gets some traction that there will be MacPorts support for it. ?? [1] http://puredarwin.org/

Always recompiling same libraries.
by Erwan David 30 Apr '07

30 Apr '07

I am doing some upgrades of the installed ports, but for each port libiconv and gperf get recompiled and reinstalled For 6 or 7 ports it makes that upgrade takes more than 1 day on my PB G4. What can I do for port to see libiconv is already the latest version and it does not need to recompile it ? -- Erwan

web server: macports vs. mac osx server
by Michael Thon 29 Apr '07

29 Apr '07

Hi All - I'm setting up my research computing environment at a new university and I'm thinking of buying all apple hardware and running Mac OS X rather than linux, as I have done in the past. I have been tinkering with macports for a while on my macbook and it seems to be a great way to manage the open source software I need for life science research. I need to set up a web server with Apache, PHP, Perl, and MySQL and I wonder if I should plunk down the extra money for OSX Server or install and maintain these applications using macports. I have been looking through the macports web site for documentation on installing these packages but I can't find any. Is any needed? It looks like I will need to have the right set of variants to get all these packages installed and talking to one another correctly. I also assume that I need to install the macports version of Apache and that I can't use the one installed with OS X? Is there a tutorial somewhere for setting up a web server with macports? Cheers Mike
