Interesting, there's a report of the same error, but with the apache2 portfile, in #13653 (which I'm unable to duplicate).

What version of Mac OS X, Xcode and MacPorts are you using, and what architecture is your processor? Do you still see the problem if you "sudo port selfupdate" and then "sudo port clean --work mjpegtools" and then "sudo port install mjpegtools"?

Cc'ing the port's maintainer.

Sorry for the long wait on the questions. I was out of town.

MacPorts Version:  1.600
MacOS X: 10.4.11
XCode: 2.4.1
Processor: PowerPC

Later,
DR

[dougvreid@…]

I am downloading XCode 2.5 now. I do not develop code right now so I was not up to date.

DR

[dougvreid@…]

Installed XCode 2.5 and still getting same issue.

Warning : I'm not understanding the solution I propose

I just read the ticket #12961 and search "libtool: compile: unable to infer tagged configuration" on google...

So here is a "solution" which seems to work on PowerPC / MacOSX 10.4.11 / XCode2.5 / MacPorts 1.600. Use it at your own risk!

$ sudo port selfupdate
$ sudo port clean --work mpegtools
$ cd /opt/local/var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/release/ports/multimedia/mjpegtools
$ sudo vi Portfile

then look for this line:

build.args      LIBTOOL=${prefix}/bin/glibtool ASFLAGS="-f macho"

and replace with:

build.args      LIBTOOL="${prefix}/bin/glibtool --tag=CC" ASFLAGS="-f macho"

Perhaps --tag=CXX would be better. I don't know :-P

Finally:

$ sudo port install mjpegtools
Portfile changed since last build; discarding previous state.

In #13653 we seem to have learned that if libtool is built with MacPorts < 1.6.0 but you're now trying to build software using that libtool with MacPorts >= 1.6.0, then the "unable to infer tagged configuration" error will occur. To fix this, I bumped the revision of the libtool port in r33739, so that everyone is forced to rebuild it, so that we can be sure that it was built with MacPorts 1.6.0. This should solve the problem. Please wait at least 12 hours from the time of this message, then:

$ sudo port selfupdate
$ sudo port upgrade libtool
$ sudo port clean --work mjpegtools
$ sudo port install mjpegtools

Does it work?

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

I'm going to assume this fixes the issue. If it does not, please reopen this ticket.
