Please run sudo port clean httperf, followed by sudo port -d install httperf > httperf.log 2>&1 and attach the resulting log file. Also, what is your OS version? XCode version? CPU architecture?

[kevwil@…]

I'm on OS X 10.5.4, Xcode 3.0, Intel-based MacBook Pro.

Log output for Install - Brian

[brianjlandau@…]

I'm seeing the same problem and attached my log output too.

[kevwil@…]

I've updated my XCode to 3.1 - still broken.

If someone for whom this port is failing can attach a list of ports you have installed (use port installed), that would be helpful; there may be a header installed with some port that is causing this confusion.

Also, to rule it out, what is the result of ls /usr/local/include?

If event.h is installed into the /opt/local/include (or whatever directory), it'll use that instead of the event.h that's in the httperf directory. Monkeying around with -I order fixed it.

I take it event.h is installed into /opt/local/include on your system? What port provided it? Use port provides /opt/local/include/event.h to find out.

Monkeying around with -I order fixed it.

Can you be more specific?

[kevwil@…]

On my machine, /opt/local/include/event.h is there and was provided by libevent.

Installs fine for me after applying this patch to Portfile

[coda.hale@…]

zakj's patch works for me.

And seriously -- 5 months? Yikes.

It installs fine for me without the patch. I think we should just close this ticket.

Actually I can confirm the error as reported. httperf builds fine, unless libevent is installed, and then it fails with the reported error. This is on Mac OS X 10.5.6 Intel with Xcode 3.1.2 and MacPorts 1.7.0. I will now look into the patch and apply it if possible.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Instead of changing the cppflags to -I.. as in the attached patch, which seems to be unnecessary, I just cleared the default cppflags (which are -I${prefix}/include) which is what caused it to try to use libevent's event.h in ${prefix}/include.

So this is fixed in r48466.

Sorry for the delay in getting this fixed, but the port has no maintainer, so there is nobody who has felt responsible for this port. If any of you care about this software, consider volunteering to be its maintainer.
