build directory and log

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

The log shows you are on Tiger, which is known to have an old version of GNU make. Try installing the gmake port. Then clean mupdf. Then try again. Does that work? If so, we can add the gmake dependency to mupdf on Tiger.

log of build using gmake v 3.82

[elr@…]

Replying to ryandesign@…:

Unfortunately on tiger the /usr/bin/make is gnumake 3.80 (at least for 10.4.11). In hope that a more recent gmake would help, I tried the latest macport gmake (3.82) as well but that only provoked early failures in the build. I have attached the logs. I had updated macports before these attempts.

Right, that's what I was trying to say in my earlier comment.

Actually just installing the gmake port isn't enough; we also have to modify the mupdf port to tell it to use MacPorts' gmake instead of Xcode's older copy. I've verified that these changes allow the port to build on Tiger (ppc) and committed the fix in r90391 so you should be able to "sudo port selfupdate", "sudo port clean mupdf" and try again.

The new log you attached shows this unrelated error:

:info:build /bin/sh: line 1: pkg-config: command not found

This is strange because the mupdf port does declare a dependency on the pkgconfig port so the pkg-config program should be there. Is the pkgconfig port installed? ("port installed pkgconfig") If so, is the pkg-config program present? ("which pkg-config") If so, does it work? (Run "pkg-config" which should respond "Must specify package names on the command line") If the pkgconfig port is not installed, install it. If it's installed but the pkg-config program is not present or does not work, uninstall and reinstall the pkgconfig port.
