cedet-devel @1.0pre6 build failure

[silver_samurai@…]

Installed emacs, emacs-app, and then started to install ecb when the dependency build of cedet-devel failed.

Attached the build log file. Noticed a lot of errors of the type:

eieio-*.el:2484:13:Error: Symbol's value as variable is void: outbuffer

And the final error at the end.

:info:build make: *** [semantic] Error 2

Please remember to fill in the Port field.

Is this still a problem with 1.0pre7?

[silver_samurai@…]

I'm a bit new to MacPorts. Tried:

sudo port clean --all cedet-devel
sudo port install cedet-devel  @1.0pre7

But that seems to pull 1.0pre6 still. Is there a way to force the install of 1.0pre7?

Replying to silver_samurai@…:

Is there a way to force the install of 1.0pre7?

No; you can only install the version mentioned in the Portfile. Joshua just updated cedet-devel to 1.0pre7; see #25571. So you need to "sudo port selfupdate" to receive that change, then try again.

I tried 1.0pre6 and saw the error you reported, and updated to 1.0pre7 and it built fine, so I think this has fixed it.

[silver_samurai@…]

Yeah, just installed 1.0pre7 and that worked fine. Thanks.
