devel/libconfig-hr-1.4.6 fails to build

[daniel.hornung@…]

On my OS X 10.5 system, the new (1.4.6) libconfig-hr fails to build, while 1.4.5 has worked, as far as I can remember.

The linker fails with:

 Undefined symbols:
   "_config_set_include_dir", referenced from:
       _ParsingAndFormatting in libconfig_tests-tests.o

This is my log:

I've updated libconfig-hr to 1.4.7; does that help?

[daniel.hornung@…]

1.4.7 does not help, but I think I tracked the error down.

The problem is the -L/opt/local/lib argument during linking of the test target and its position in the command line. Since the old version of libconfig (1.4.5 in my case) was still installed, the linker tried to find "_config_set_include_dir" in the old libs.

A workaround (but no real fix) is to deactivate libconfig-hr, then install it again:

port deactivate libconfig-hr
port upgrade libconfig-hr
