mkvtoolnix: error: ‘boost::BOOST_FOREACH’ has not been declared

Reported by: palmer100@… Owned by: macports-tickets@…
Priority: Normal Milestone:
Component: ports Version: 2.0.3

Description (last modified by ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt))

sudo port install mkvtoolnix errors out

I've tried switching compilers (gcc and apple gcc) and both of those fail too

I'm using Xcode 4.2.1 on the latest version of MacOSX Lion with MacPorts 2.0.3 

Error: Error: Target org.macports.build returned: shell command failed (see log for details)
Log for mkvtoolnix is at: /opt/local/var/macports/logs/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_multimedia_mkvtoolnix/mkvtoolnix/main.log
Error: Status 1 encountered during processing.

Summary: mkvtoolnix errors out on installation in Mac OSX Lion → mkvtoolnix: error: ‘boost::BOOST_FOREACH’ has not been declared

Not Lion-specific. Probably an incompatibility with the latest boost 1.48.0. Maybe updating mkvtoolnix to 5.1.0 would help?

comment:3 Changed 13 years ago by ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)

Oh right, we discussed this before, mkvtoolnix 5.1.0 requires gcc 4.6 or higher, which makes it undesirable in MacPorts.

Replying to palmer100@…:

sudo port install mkvtoolnix errors out

I've tried switching compilers (gcc and apple gcc) and both of those fail too

I'm using Xcode 4.2.1 on the latest version of MacOSX Lion with MacPorts 2.0.3

This looks like a known boost 1.48.0 bug and has been fixed in boost upstream. Only workarounds I know of is to drop down to boost 1.47.0 or cherry-pick the patch from boost upstream.

Downgrading boost helped me out. I was getting the same error. Thanks.

But of course, mkvmerge doesn't run after downgrading boost. Doh! 

$ mkvmerge
dyld: Library not loaded: /opt/local/lib/libicuuc.46.dylib
  Referenced from: /opt/local/lib/libboost_regex-mt.dylib
  Reason: image not found

Downgrading boost and icu results in a segfault when running mkvmerge. Had to downgrade mkvtoolnix as well. The following is the only working combo for me. 

$ port installed boost icu mkvtoolnix
The following ports are currently installed:
  boost @1.46.1_0

I have been able to build mkvtoolnix @5.0.1_0 after downgrading boost to @1.47.0_2 (Xcode 4.2.1, Mac OS X 10.7.2, MacPorts 2.0.3), and mkvmerge seems to be running just fine.

I've added the cherry-picked patches suggested in #32443 in r88202. Upstream these are ​https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/6131 and ​https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/changeset/75540.

Please let me know if this ticket can be closed.

comment:11 Changed 13 years ago by machsna (J. ‘mach’ Wust)

You guys are the best! With boost @1.48.0_3, mkvtoolnix @5.0.1_0 works just fine for me.

Resolution: fixed
Status: closed → reopened

Because of that fix, it is no longer possible to have a workaround common to all the Boost versions! It was trivial to fix 1.48 by define the macro *before* including the header: 

/// \def foreach
/// \brief A shortcut for \a BOOST_FOREACH.
///
/// Not to be confused with libport::for_each.

// No redefinition if already defined by other libraries.
//
// It would seem saner to declare this macro *after* having included
// the definition of BOOST_FOREACH, but BOOST_FOREACH is actually
// buggy, and uses the identifier "foreach" as a namespace on
// occasion.  And unfortunately, this shows (see
// http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.boost.user/71410, and
// https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/6131).
//
// Luckily, Boost.Foreach is header-only, so one way out is to
// make sure we use BOOST_FOREACH consistently *everywhere*, so define
// foreach before including the header.
//
// And never use boost/foreach.hpp, only libport/foreach.hh.
#ifndef foreach
# define foreach BOOST_FOREACH
#endif

/// \def rforeach
/// \brief Shortcut for \a BOOST_REVERSE_FOREACH

Now this simple fix which was common to all the architectures will not work on MacPorts! How the heck am I supposed to have code that works properly via CPP now???

Fixing a library such as Boost seems wrong to me, too much entropy pushed on the users.

Because of that fix, it is no longer possible to have a workaround common to all the Boost versions! It was trivial to fix 1.48 by define the macro *before* including the header:

Now:

of course.

As a long-time boost user, I understand your frustration. However, this sort of thing is typical of Boost; the "official" way of handling this is to check boost versions or some-such.

The main problem is that the patches that I committed are Already part of boost, so they will have to be dealt with at some point.

The horrible truth is that most packages I've seen usually include a private copy of boost that they build and test, precisely to avoid this sort of thing.

If I remove the patches as suggested, the port will simply break in a couple of months when the next release of boost comes out.

Hi!

Thanks for your answer. My point is that with "pure" Boost releases, it's very easy to deal with the release: just depend on BOOST_VERSION to select whether you first need to include <foreach.hpp> or to define foreach. My code is already ready for 1.49. But in this case, even if BOOST_VERSION tells me this is 1.48, it is actually not. So now I have a very weak workaround where I depend on both __APPLE__ and BOOST_VERSION to decide which order to use. The very fragile heuristics is based on the idea that on OS X, this Boost is probably the MacPorts' one.

What would really be extremely helpful is that MacPorts' Boost enrich <boost/version.hpp> with some MACPORTS_BOOST_VERSION on which to safely depend.

Huh. I see your logic; macports really can't/shouldn't patch boost's functionality, only the build and install. :-( Sigh.

I'm backing out r88202 so we have a "pure" 1.48.0, and the standard boost headers can be used for version-checking and work-arounds.

Dang; another boost-build cycle.

Thanks for the feedback, BTW - it is very easy to get lost between fixing bugs in boost and the horrific boost-build, and the macports installation!

Committed in r88683.

I sure understand you're in a tough position!

So what is the solution for mkvtoolnix now? Currently, with boost @1.48.0_4, mkvtoolnix @5.0.1_0, the reported compilation error is fully present again.

Should I patch my local boost portfile just to get mkvtoolnix to work?

comment:21 Changed 13 years ago by macports.org@…

My work-around is to downgrade to boost 1.47.0 rev 2 for now: 

svn co http://svn.macports.org/repository/macports/trunk/dports/devel/boost@85591
cd boost
sudo port install
sudo port clean mkvtoolnix
sudo port install mkvtoolnix

Presumably we'll have to wait for boost 1.49.0 for this bug to be properly resolved? Or can mkvtoolnix be patched to check BOOST_VERSION and include foreach.hpp conditionally, as akim.demaille@… suggests? I am no C++ (let alone boost) developer, so I am but a layman when it comes to this issue.

comment:22 Changed 13 years ago by Kona8lend@…

It's a mistake to kill a bonafide fix to save an inflexible hack.

re: macro hack listed above: To make the hack co-exist with r88202 the hack must be improved. Why must it be header-only? Use a configure-time check. Yes it's not as easy as header-only, but at least it doesn't throw mkvtoolnix (and others) under the bus.

...and with pure 1.48.0 any ports that use boost foreach sans hack are also broken. And they'll stay broken until someone fixes them or another lengthy boost release cycle and port bump.

So why strive to keep 1.48.0 "pure" to please 1 (external?) project at the expense of at least 1 (internal) port. There's more reason to keep unhacked-ports working than there is to keep a hacked-port etched in stone.

btw, I should be taken off as owner of this ticket. thanks.

r88909 should work around this until the next boost release is made. Tested on Lion and Snow Leopard.
