Why is it still called "darwinports1.0" ?
by Tabitha McNerney 27 Apr '07

27 Apr '07

Hi, I was wondering why there is a directory that is installed that still has the name "darwinports" in it even though its MacPorts now? Specifically: /Library/Tcl/darwinports1.0 Thanks, T.M.

Having a nagging problem, seems to boil down to some kind of Tcl problem, hoping someone has already solved this so that I don't have ot start debugging configure: sal@cobblehill:sal>sudo port -v selfupdate Synchronizing from file:///Users/sal/Projects/MacPorts/macports-trunk/dports Synchronizing from file:///Users/sal/Projects/MacPorts/dports_local DarwinPorts base version 1.400 installed receiving file list ... done ./ deleting config.log sent 77 bytes received 6054 bytes 4087.33 bytes/sec total size is 3162108 speedup is 515.76 Downloaded MacPorts base version 1.430 Configuring, Building and Installing new MacPorts base checking build system type... i686-apple-darwin8.9.1 ...

Emacs v XEmacs in ports
by Peter Gammie 27 Apr '07

27 Apr '07

Hello, I'm new to this list, so I apologise if my question has already been addressed. I want to install Mozart, so I do the usual: % sudo port install mozart which results in port trying to install Emacs, when there is already a perfectly usable XEmacs installed, which a quick Google implies Mozart should be happy with. No worries, just change the port in the obvious way: % sudo port edit mozart ... and off it goes. Now, is this the thing to do? Also, is there a way to change the portfile so it has - perhaps as variants - Emacs and XEmacs alternatives? thanks, Peter.

gcc41 is missing stuff like libgcj.spec on Intel
by Ryan Schmidt 27 Apr '07

27 Apr '07

I can't build pdftk on Intel. I get this error: /opt/local/bin/gcj-dp-4.1 -O2 --encoding=UTF-8 --classpath="/opt/ local/var/db/dports/build/ _Users_rschmidt_macports_dports_textproc_pdftk/work/pdftk-1.41/ java_libs" -c Engine.java -o Engine.o gcj-dp-4.1: libgcj.spec: No such file or directory make[2]: *** [Engine.o] Error 1 make[1]: *** [libgcj_local] Error 2 make: *** [java_libs] Error 2 Warning: the following items did not execute (for pdftk): com.apple.activate com.apple.build com.apple.destroot com.apple.install Error: Status 1 encountered during processing. This was reported on this list a month ago with no solution: http://lists.macosforge.org/pipermail/macports-users/2007-March/ 002085.html I believe the problem is the gcc41 port, not the pdftk port. When installed on PowerPC, gcc41 includes a whole lot more stuff than it does on Intel (590 files on Intel, 3271 files on PowerPC). Attached is the output of "port contents gcc41" from both architectures. I'm not sure how to get gcc41 to include all this extra stuff on Intel as well. Any idea what's going on here?

Is there a web page that lists all the ports -- the currently packaged programs?

X11
by David Liontooth 27 Apr '07

27 Apr '07

There are several versions of X11 for OSX -- the one Apple distributes, and in macports, xfree86 and xorg, both in several variants. Could someone give us a summary of the state of X11 on OSX? What should be used when? Where are we headed? I'm so far not able to start the XFree86 version I installed. The XDarwinStartup man page says, "When run without any arguments, XDarwinStartup will start the Quartz X server if the Core Graphics window server is currently running. Otherwise it will start the IOKit X server." In my case the Core Graphics window server is running, so I try: XDarwinStartup -quartz but it just sits there, and I see the process list has /usr/X11R6/bin/XDarwin.app/Contents/MacOS/XDarwin -quartz -nostartx Doesn't seem to want to run, does it?

gimp can't find tiff
by David Kulp 27 Apr '07

27 Apr '07

When I try to build gimp, the configure can't find libtiff (AC_CHECK_HEADER(tiffio.h)). Even when cd to the work directory and I manually add --includedir=/opt/local/include it fails. Any ideas? (I'm currently sync'd with the latest ports.) Is anyone successful building gimp? Thanks in advance.

Compiling transcode

The latest stable release of transcode, 1.0.3, configures without problems using the current macports packages, but it doesn't build: 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 /var/tmp//ccMwDlN6.s:43:suffix or operands invalid for `and' /var/tmp//ccMwDlN6.s:117:missing or invalid immediate expression `0b11' taken as 0 /var/tmp//ccMwDlN6.s:117:suffix or operands invalid for `and' /var/tmp//ccMwDlN6.s:176:missing or invalid immediate expression `0b111' taken as 0 /var/tmp//ccMwDlN6.s:176:suffix or operands invalid for `and' /var/tmp//ccMwDlN6.s:199:missing or invalid immediate expression `0b11' taken as 0 /var/tmp//ccMwDlN6.s:199:suffix or operands invalid for `and' /var/tmp//ccMwDlN6.s:206:Alignment too large: 15. assumed. /var/tmp//ccMwDlN6.s:263:missing or invalid immediate expression `0b11' taken as 0 /var/tmp//ccMwDlN6.s:263:suffix or operands invalid for `and' make[2]: *** [tcmemcpy.lo] Error 1 make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make: *** [all] Error 2 $ gcc -v Using built-in specs.

The failure doesn't happen on Linux and appears to be platform-specific. I get exactly the same behavior on an XServe and an Intel iMac. Cheers, Dave
