grep port broken on Tiger
by Olivier Croquette 21 Jan '08

21 Jan '08

Hi all The grep port is broken here on Tiger: Making install in po /./install-sh -c -d /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_sysutils_grep/work/destroot//opt/local/share make[1]: /./install-sh: Command not found make[1]: *** [install-data-yes] Error 127 make: *** [install-recursive] Error 1 Error: Status 1 encountered during processing. In the following generated Mafile: /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_sysutils_grep/work/grep-2.5.3/po There is this strange part: MKDIR_P = .././install-sh -c -d mkdir_p = $(top_builddir)/./install-sh -c -d Looks like test code which needs to be cleaned up and $(top_builddir) is empty at this point. If I replace it with: MKDIR_P = .././install-sh -c -d mkdir_p = .././install-sh -c -d and then resume the port install, then it works. Best regards Olivier

configuring alsa-lib
by Michael Franz 21 Jan '08

21 Jan '08

My new project is compiling alsa-lib 1.0.15. There seems to logic in the configuration and other files for the regular flavors (freebsd/linux/darwin/..) so I feel somewhat confident this can be accomplished. As I am not all that familar with autoconf and some of the standard tools I will probably have some pretty simple questions for you gurus. My first question has to deal with endian.h. It seems that linux has it as a standard include, but darwin uses machine/endian.h . I figure that I can patch the source (alsa) to use one or the other based on something from configure. In the past I have seen/used something like HAVE_XXXX_H around specific includes. Is there a better way to approach this problem? Michael

Is liboss dead?
by Michael Franz 20 Jan '08

20 Jan '08

I found liboss in the ports and checked out the home page http://liboss.sourceforge.net/ . Is this project dead? From the home page I can get to OSS, which released the source under a BSD license. Is this new (the press release is dated January 4, 2008)? Has it been under a different license? What is the community feeling towards alsa and oss? How compatible are they? How incompatible? I have tried to compile asla on darwin/os X, no success. Michael

Hi, I have a program that needs to link against freetype-devel. I have installed freetype using macports - does this install the devel library? If not how do I install the devel portion? Michael

lesstif vs openMotif
by Michael Franz 20 Jan '08

20 Jan '08

While trying to configure IcedTea, I found that although lesstif is a dependency, I was not able to get configure to be happy until I installed openMotif. lesstif was missing things like Xm.h, Display.h. Is one of these more popular than another? Does the Darwin/OS X world have a preference for one? Can the two ports be used interchangeably? Michael

newbie help wanted with installing/using netpbm through macports
by Matt 20 Jan '08

20 Jan '08

I did a little c++ coding in college but that was 10 years ago, so I apologize if I am missing something obvious. I am trying to compile an intel mac compatible version of an open source printer driver so I can use my old but beloved Alps printer on my new intel imac. The source for the driver is here: http://openprinting.org/show_driver.cgi?driver=ppmtomd&fromprinter=Alps-MD-… I downloaded the source for the driver and tried to perform a make on it in the terminal. The string of errors showed me that it was missing the pgm.h and ppm.h header files. Searching for these files online I found that they belong to the netpbm library. It seemed like the easiest way to install netpbm and any dependant libraries was through macports. I succesfully downloaded, installed, and updated macports, then told it to install netpbm. I got no errors and everything looked good. Unfortunately, the source for the ppmtomd driver still can't find those header files (though I can through spotlight). When I check to see what ports I have installed I get the following output: iMatt:~ mwoods$ port installed The following ports are currently installed: jasper @1.701.0_0 (active) jpeg @6b_2 (active) libpng @1.2.24_0 (active) netpbm @10.26.48_0 (active) tiff @3.8.2_1+macosx (active) zlib @1.2.3_1 (active) iMatt:~ mwoods$ if they were installed properly though, I would think I could use the "which" command on them. Unfortunately, the only port that responds to "which" is jasper which I assume is a dependent library that was installed with netpbm. iMatt:~ mwoods$ which netpbm iMatt:~ mwoods$ which jasper /opt/local/bin/jasper I suspect either netpbm is not installed properly, or I have to do something to the makefile of the printer driver to get it to find those libraries, but I haven't been able to figure it out. Does anyone have any advice? Thanks! -Matt

GnuCash and guile
by Todd O'Bryan 20 Jan '08

20 Jan '08

I was trying to install GnuCash and it said I didn't have guile. So I installed guile manually and now it apparently thinks the guile that got installed isn't good enough. Any hints about where to go from here? I tried installing slib, but it says it's already installed.

Eclipse ecj
by Michael Franz 20 Jan '08

20 Jan '08

I would like to get Eclipse ECJ as a port. I tried to put together a Portfile, but I am afraid I don't know how to fill in some of the sections. The version that I know of are : - R-3.3.1.1-200710231652 - R-3.3-200706251500 That can be downloaded from http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops/R-3.3.1.1-200710231652/… http://archive.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops/R-3.3-200706251500/ecjsr… I don't know when a release is moved from the live site to the archive site. I also don't know how long stuff stays on the archive site. Michael
