Can't build on Ubuntu

[rudloff@…]

===> making all in src/macports1.0
make[2]: Entering directory `/home/pierre/Bureau/MacPorts-2.0.3/src/macports1.0'

gcc: error: CoreFoundation: No such file or directory
gcc: error: SystemConfiguration: No such file or directory

I do have the gnustep-core-devel package installed.

I don't really expect anyone to work on that, it is just so that you guys know.

Did you tell configure to use GNUstep?

./configure --with-objc-runtime=GNU --with-objc-foundation=GNU

[rudloff@…]

It works, thanks !

Now the install phase is not working :

===> making install in doc
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/pierre/Bureau/MacPorts-2.0.3/doc'
/usr/bin/install -c -d -o root -g root -m 0755 /opt/local

/bin/bash: -U: command not found
make[1]: *** [install] Error 127
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/pierre/Bureau/MacPorts-2.0.3/doc'
make: *** [install] Error 1

[rudloff@…]

Oh, I just had to add /usr/lib/freebsd to my path (see ​here, sorry. MacPorts is now installed and seems to work fine.

[skyskipper@…]

Hey, i also have the same problem at make install.

i tried to install freebsd-buildutils to get mtree where another error message popup

checking for Apple Foundation library... no
checking for GNUstep Foundation library... no
configure: error: Could not find a working Foundation implementation

and after i remove the freebsd-buildutils package

checking for GNUstep Foundation library... yes
configure: Using GNUstep Foundation library

this is my PATH

/usr/lib/freebsd:/usr/lib/lightdm/lightdm:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games

Cc Me!

[rudloff@…]

I will try to provide an Ubuntu package for you to use.

[skyskipper@…]

Thank you.

[rudloff@…]

​Here is a package that you can try. It won't magically make the ports work on Linux though.

Made configure fail if mtree is not present in r91520.

I can confirm MacPorts base currently builds fine on Ubuntu and Debian (after installing lots of packages). I think this issue is fixed.

What is the current list of packages that need to be installed? I am writing a .travis.yml file for my fork of MacPorts on GitHub and would like to know what to sudo apt-get install in my "install:" phase... So far I am using the old .dsc file in browser:trunk/base/portmgr/ubuntu as reference, but not all of the package names line up exactly with the ones that are currently available according to launchpad.net (or at least the search on it)...
