magic vlsi fails: tclmagic.dylib image not found

[yannick.heinrich@…]

I just install the port but it does not find the dynamic library.

#25214

How can it be a duplicate of a ticket resolved 7 months ago?

It would be good to get a complete main.log so we can analyze this.

[yannick.heinrich@…]

Where can I find this file ? The program does not crash at compilation time but at runtime in the tcl window.

[mf2k (Frank Schima)]

Based on the very little information provided by the reporter, it looks like a duplicate to me.

Open a new terminal window. Then type the following and attach the output:

sudo port clean magic
sudo port -d install magic

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

I'm able to reproduce the issue. The problem is tclmagic.dylib does not get built, due to various prior build errors, and the build system nevertheless exits 0, so the install proceeds. Either the fix from #25214 did not fix it, or the problem has recurred.

[yannick.heinrich@…]

Ok I just see your ticket. Do I need to attach the log file ?

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

I've attached my main.log, config.log and make.log. In my case there appear to be at least two problems:

• In the config.log, I see:

  g++: Error: You should be using ${configure.cxx}
  See http://trac.macports.org/wiki/UsingTheRightCompiler
  

  I am indeed using the instructions at UsingTheRightCompiler in order to expose errors like this. I'll see if I can fix this problem.
• In the make.log, I see:

  /opt/local/include/gcr/gcr.h:25:18: error: glib.h: No such file or directory
  

  I don't know if this is a consequence of the first or a separate problem.

Please attach your versions of these three files so we can see if the cause is the same on your system.

[yannick.heinrich@…]

During the installation process, it cleans me the directory containing the log files :(

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Yes it does. To keep the main.log file, edit macports.conf and set "keeplogs yes". To keep the build directory, which contains the config.log and for this particular port the make.log, use "sudo port -k install magic".

This problem was the configure script clearing the CXX variable. Fixed in r89126.

/opt/local/include/gcr/gcr.h:25:18: error: glib.h: No such file or directory

Here the problem is that /opt/local/include/gcr/gcr.h exists at all. It's provided by the gnome-keyring port, which is not in magic's dependency chain, I just happen to have it installed for other reasons. And magic just happens to provide a completely different file of the same name in a directory of the same name in its source distribution. It's trying to get that file, but because somewhere the include flags are in the wrong order, it's getting system files before its own. The workaround for this would be to deactivate the gnome-keyring port before trying to install the magic port.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

In r89145 I added a check to the port so that it will exit with an error message if tclmagic.dylib doesn't get built (since the magic build system clearly doesn't do that on its own).

[yannick.heinrich@…]

Hello,

I retried to install it today and I wen further. I first install blt with the gcc compiler

$ sudo port -d install blt configure.compiler=apple-gcc-4.2
configure.cxx=g++-apple-4.2

Then I did the same with magic

$ sudo port -d install magic configure.compiler=apple-gcc-4.2
configure.cxx=g++-apple-4.2

I launch the magic program. It tells me that section in technologies files is missing. I went in the corresponding directory and noticed that all tech files (scmos.tech) are zero-byte size. I downloaded the last version of magic and unarchieve it.

./configure
cd scmos
make

and I copy all the generated files in /opt/local/lib/magic/sys directory. Then the editor appears. I'm to new with this software and can not tell if it is enough to work with it. May be someone have been further.

Version 7.5.220 is available upstream BTW. Probably want to update before working on this problem any more.

Added detection for this situation in r97857.

Thank you, that was helpful. Fixed in r97864.
