xmlrpc-c 1.06.11 build failure

[fahrennheit451@…]

i am trying to compile xmlrpc-c 1.06.11 on my macbook c2d running 10.5.2. the previous dependencies install correctly, but i get this when i run sudo port install xmlrpc-c:

i'm not sure why exactly it is failing...

[jmroot (Joshua Root)]

Assigning to maintainer.

It looks like this is due to a change in the libcurl API. This means that (a) xmlrpc-c should have a dependency on curl, and (b) updating to the latest version should fix this problem.

Replying to jmr@macports.org:

Assigning to maintainer.

It looks like this is due to a change in the libcurl API. This means that (a) xmlrpc-c should have a dependency on curl, and (b) updating to the latest version should fix this problem.

I'd like to argue that your statement is at least partly incorrect:
I just installed macports and wanted to install xmlrpc-c. Curl was installed before xmlrpc-c due to another package depending on it, and still the same error as above is thrown when xmlrpc-c is being built.

A quick search on google reveals, that Gentoo and Debian have similar problems when installing xmlrpc-c against curl-7.18.1 (7.18.2 is the version macports installed)
​http://bugs.gentoo.org/216139 provides a patch to solve this error (within xmlrpc-c NOT curl)
Line 1217 in lib/curl_transport/xmlrpc_curl_transport.c reads:

curl_easy_setopt(curlSessionP, CURLOPT_SSLENGINE_DEFAULT);

needing to be corrected to

curl_easy_setopt(curlSessionP, CURLOPT_SSLENGINE_DEFAULT,1);

As suggested by the patch from gentoo I manually changed it after xmlrpc-c failed and this solved the problem instantly, and xmlrpc-c compiled fine.
Maybe macports can supply a patch for all others?

Here's the gentoo patch in raw text, seeing as I don't know how to commit it to the ports. Note that the line needs to be changed to 1217 (aswell as adapting the version), for xmlrpc-c 1.06.11!!

The latest version of xmlrpc-c, 1.06.30, fixes this. Attaching a patch to update the port.

I'm getting the same error. Trying to build on Mac OS X Server 10.5.8, with all updates installed.

Definitely looks different, please open a new ticket (and attach debug output, from running sudo port -d ...).

Thank you for the help! While creating the new ticket, I tried again, but forgot to include the -d. I don't understand why, but it works now - strange.
