"unable to execute -DNDEBUG" - strange gnucash build failure
by Peter Schneider 18 Mar '08

18 Mar '08

Hello After a "sudo port install gnucash +without_docs" I got this, probably my favorite Christmas-bug, so far I haven't been able to reduplicate it (another run of "sudo port -d install gnucash +without_docs" gave me another error ... see next posting). It's completely obscure for me that the error message seems to be related to gdbm, a fair while after that port was activated. "-DNDEBUG" doesn't probably exist as a command, well, I thought so. "libdaemon" ("libdaemon @0.12_0 (active)"!) has got through its activation, too, though any feedback was missing ... see console messages below. Also weird: gdbm seems to be properly installed ... a "port installed" lists gdbm @1.8.3_1 (active), and I definitely don't need anything built for Panther (MacOS 10.3). 1 Mio. $ Question: What went wrong here? My environment looks basically like this: PowerPC, macport 1.6.0 (1x selfupdate yesterday) at /opt/local/, a new installation of Leopard, XCode 3 (from DVD, that's still the most recent version available at connect.apple.com) Cheers Peter ... ######################################################################### ---> Fetching gdbm ---> Attempting to fetch gdbm-1.8.3.tar.gz from http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gdbm ---> Verifying checksum(s) for gdbm ---> Extracting gdbm ---> Applying patches to gdbm ---> Configuring gdbm ---> Building gdbm with target all ---> Staging gdbm into destroot ---> Installing gdbm 1.8.3_1 ---> Activating gdbm 1.8.3_1 ---> Cleaning gdbm ---> Fetching libdaemon ---> Attempting to fetch libdaemon-0.12.tar.gz from http://0pointer.de/lennart/projects/libdaemon/ ---> Verifying checksum(s) for libdaemon ---> Extracting libdaemon ---> Configuring libdaemon ---> Building libdaemon with target all ---> Staging libdaemon into destroot ---> Installing libdaemon 0.12_0 running build_ext building 'gdbm' extension creating build creating build/temp.macosx-10.3-ppc-2.5 -DNDEBUG -g -O3 -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -I/opt/local/include -I/opt/local/include/python2.5 -c gdbmmodule.c -o build/temp.macosx-10.3-ppc-2.5/gdbmmodule.o unable to execute -DNDEBUG: No such file or directory error: command '-DNDEBUG' failed with exit status 1 Error: The following dependencies failed to build: evince avahi py25-gdbm py25-gtk py25-cairo esound gconf intltool orbit2 libidl gnome-doc-utils iso-codes py25-hashlib openssl py25-libxml2 gnome-icon-theme icon-naming-utils p5-getopt-long p5-pathtools p5-xml-simple p5-test-simple p5-test-harness p5-xml-namespacesupport p5-xml-sax gnome-keyring libgcrypt libgpg-error gnome-vfs gnome-mime-data howl neon libart_lgpl libgnome libbonobo popt libgnomecanvas gail libgnomeui libbonoboui m4 nautilus eel gnome-desktop fribidi startup-notification gnome-menus libexif librsvg libcroco libgsf shared-mime-info poppler poppler-data goffice03 libgnomeprintui libgnomeprint bison libgnomecups pcre guile16 readline ncurses ncursesw gawk libgtkhtml3 p5-finance-quote p5-crypt-ssleay p5-libwww-perl p5-compress-zlib p5-compress-raw-zlib p5-io-compress-base p5-scalar-list-utils p5-io-compress-zlib p5-html-parser p5-html-tagset p5-uri p5-datemanip p5-html-tableextract slib slib-guile16 Error: Status 1 encountered during processing. __________________________________________________________ Sent from Yahoo!

No, it was only working in active mode. I passive mode it runs for a few seconds and dies. It also leaves the AirPort disconnected.

From what I read it's all Apple's fault and I don't know if there will ever be a workaround. Fortunately I have a Zaurus and a Nokia 800, both of which run kismet just fine. I can take the files created by either to the Mac for analysis with Wireshark. (Now if CACE Technologies would come out with a Mac version of AirPcap and their channel-hopping modification of wireshark....)

Thanks. The version of libpcap I got from CVS had a VERSION file containing 0.9-PRE-CVS. The bulk of the "important" files (to my mind anyway) are dated March 13 and 14 2008. In any event it works with KisMac but not with the command-line kismet. I'm confused about that - in the Linux installations of kismet that I'm familiar with, there is a server piece and several clients ranging from a text-only display to varying degrees of GUI. It looks like KisMac is a totally different package. I'm also confused about this forum. Your message came to me only from the Nabble forum, whereas the rest of the thread (and my replies) has been on the Mac Ports Users mailing list (macports-users(a)lists.macosforge.org) what's the connection, and where should I be posting?

Maintainer away tracking
by Rainer Müller 17 Mar '08

17 Mar '08

Hi, It happens from time to time that some maintainer is busy with work or school, has to move, is on vacation or attends some other event which prevents him from taking action on new tickets. So I want to setup a new wiki page (like MaintainerAway) where anybody can add himself with a small explanation how long he is going to be away and maybe also why. If someone adds himself onto this wiki page all of his/her ports will be treated like if they have openmaintainer on them, so anybody can commit updates without explicit permission. This should be taken like a temporarily openmaintainer status. Or the maintainer could also add someone else who should take care of his/her ports for this time. The main advantage would be that the 72h delay does not have to pass as the maintainer will not answer anyway. The wiki page could look like this (with a proper table, of course): maintainer1(a)example.org | 2008-04-01 to 2008-04-10 | On vacation, please ask foobar@ maintainer2(a)example.org | 2008-03-14 to 2008-04-01 | Exams Of course this would also need to be documented in our guide. Any comments appreciated. Do you think this would be an improvement to our infrastructure? Rainer PS: I am writing to both lists as I think this is also an interesting topic for our users.

libiconv problems after urxvt upgrade
by Joerg van den Hoff 17 Mar '08

17 Mar '08

during upgrade from urxvt8.7 to the current version I got the error message ===================================CUT======================================== Portfile changed since last build; discarding previous state. ---> Fetching libiconv ---> Verifying checksum(s) for libiconv ---> Extracting libiconv ---> Applying patches to libiconv ---> Configuring libiconv ---> Building libiconv with target all ---> Staging libiconv into destroot ---> Packaging tgz archive for libiconv 1.12_0+darwin_8 ---> Deactivating libiconv 1.11_0 Error: Deactivating libiconv 1.11_0 failed: Active version of libiconv is not 1.11_0 but 1.11_0+darwin_8. ===================================CUT======================================== after which install proceded (apparently successful). trying to start `urxvt' now throws the error: ===================================CUT======================================== dyld: Library not loaded: /opt/local/lib/libiconv.2.dylib Referenced from: /opt/local/lib/libXft.2.dylib Reason: Incompatible library version: libXft.2.dylib requires version 7.0.0 or later, but libiconv.2.dylib provides version 5.0.0 Trace/BPT trap ===================================CUT======================================== trying a `sudo port deactivate libiconv(a)1.11_0+darwin_8' yielded ===================================CUT======================================== Error: port deactivate failed: Registry error: libiconv not registered as installed & active. ===================================CUT======================================== which seems inconsistent with the error message during urxvt install. after a `sudo port activate libiconv(a)1.12' now everything seems to work, but the above messages seems to hint at some grade of corruption of the internal state of port. is this the case? can I sanitize/check it somehow without purging everything? I also notice that many packages appear both with `port list active' _and_ `port list inactive'. how can this be? and a last question: the "active" ports are the only one in use or are "inactive" ones (especially libs) secretly used by other ports? I noted that a tentative `sudo port uninstall libiconv(a)1.11_0+darwin_8' showed me lots of ports depending on it which would need prior uninstall. I understand that different versions of libs are needed at the same time but why, then, is one declared "active" the others "inactive"? so in short what's the difference between "active" and "inactive", especially for libs? joerg

detex
by David Epstein 17 Mar '08

17 Mar '08

Is there a macport of detex? This is a program that removes TeX control sequences and comments from files. I thought it was part of the teTeX distribution, and there is a port of teTex. Does anyone know how I can get hold of this? Should I do it outside /opt/local? Thanks David -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/detex-tp16078108p16078108.html Sent from the MacPorts - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Writing portfiels: How to avoid hardcoded paths?
by Giorgio Valoti 17 Mar '08

17 Mar '08

Hi all, with the help of William Siegrist I wrote a portfile for pgpool-II (ticket #14647). I’ve added the following environment setting: configure.env PATH=$env(PATH):${prefix}/lib/postgresql83/bin In order to make pg_config available at configure time. Is there a way to avoid hard coding the path? Thank you in advance. -- Giorgio Valoti

I followed the instructions and did not notice any errors in setting up libpcap. Here's what I get: <code> Macintosh:libpcap walts$ sudo kismet Launching kismet_server: /opt/local/bin/kismet_server Will drop privs to walts (501) gid 501 No specific sources given to be enabled, all will be enabled. Non-RFMon VAPs will be destroyed on multi-vap interfaces (ie, madwifi-ng) Enabling channel hopping. Enabling channel splitting. INFO: wlt1 looks like an Atheros card running under Darwin. Source 0 (airport_extreme): Enabling monitor mode for darwin source interface en1 channel 6... Source 0 (airport_extreme): Opening darwin source interface wlt1... FATAL: BIOCSETIF: wlt1: Device not configured Done. Macintosh:libpcap walts$ </code> I have the source set in kismet.conf: source=darwin,en1,airport_extreme and it looks like it's opening that correctly, but then it stumbles on wlt1 (which does not exist in kismet.conf). I'm not sure what to do at this point. Walt njstaticuser wrote: > > What you need to do is to get the latest libpcap.

digikam & amarok ports?
by Niels Ganser 16 Mar '08

16 Mar '08

Hi everybody, coming from an Ubuntu background, I've been using fink for the last months but am left quite unimpressed by the quality and up-to-dateness of their packages (as well as availability and speed of the mirrors). Of course it is an effort led solely by volunteers and as such I can't really complain about the service they are providing. I have found however, that software provided by the macports project is more recent and generally more hassle-free to install and work with. This of course was the long version of "thanks what you guys are doing!".. However, I am dearly missing two programs from my KDE days which are digikam and amarok. (http://www.digikam.org & http://amarok.kde.org) I could not find those in your ports database so my question is: are they provided by the "kde" port and as such not installable individually or aren't they part of the macports project at all? If so: are there any plans to include them in the future? In any case, thanks for providing this fantastic service and best regards, Niels.

Unable to build/install mono

I'm sitting there at PyCon listening to Mark Hammond's PyXPCOM talk. It crossed paths with IronPython and mono, so I decided to try installing it and getting IronPython running. But there was no joy.
