[derflorianlang@…]

my system macos 10.6.4, macport 1.9.1

in port:

Can you attach the full log at /opt/local/var/macports/logs/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_gnome_libsoup/main.log ?

gramps log (where problem first occured)

[nerdling (Jeremy Lavergne)]

By default it tries to use pkgconfig, but there are two variables we can use to pass in:

LIBPROXY_CFLAGS: C compiler flags for LIBPROXY, overriding pkg-config

LIBPROXY_LIBS: linker flags for LIBPROXY, overriding pkg-config

[nerdling (Jeremy Lavergne)]

Here's my patch.

+configure.env-append \
+                LIBPROXY_CFLAGS=-I${prefix}/include \
+                LIBPROXY_LIBS=-L${prefix}/lib/libproxy.dylib
+

[nerdling (Jeremy Lavergne)]

Let's try that again:

+configure.env-append \
+                LIBPROXY_CFLAGS=-I${prefix}/include \
+                LIBPROXY_LIBS=-L${prefix}/lib/libproxy.dylib
+

I get some undefined symbols now.

Also saw an old zlib artifact in configure:

                 from soup-coding-gzip.c:15:

The problem is that the recently upgraded version of libproxy is not installing the appropriate pkgconfig files. The previous version did so this is breakage in libproxy.

[dbevans (David B. Evans)]

libproxy reverted to previous version until pkg-config problems in later versions can be resolved (r70873).

[dbevans (David B. Evans)]

Fixed in r71365 with upgrade to 0.4.6.
