The Log file for the port selfupdate failure

This is not a clean build attempt. Please clean the port and try again and post the new log if it fails.

I have tried to do a clean build, port clean unable to

bash-3.2# port clean
Can't map the URL 'file://.' to a port description file ("Could not find Portfile in /Users/rinaldo").
Please verify that the directory and portfile syntax are correct.
To use the current port, you must be in a port's directory.

I have searched for solutions to the above issue about not having a port conf file.

I also downloaded the .dmg file and the results are the same.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

You haven't told it what port to clean. Use "sudo port clean libbonobo"

[digitalrinaldo@…]

Thanks, I had tried that here is the list of my actions and the results and I have attached a new file.

After running clean

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Thanks. Not sure why it fails for you. It builds for me—but I'm on Snow Leopard with Xcode 3.2.6, and you're on Lion with Xcode 4.3.2 and its much different clang compiler. It could be a problem with orbit2, which is the port that provides the orbit-idl-2 compiler which is the one producing the error message here. If it is, you could try rebuilding orbit2 using a different compiler, then cleaning libbonobo and trying again.

You could test whether updating libbonobo to the latest version changes things. And you could try building without parallel make jobs. ("sudo port install libbonobo build.jobs=1")

P.S: Remember to use WikiFormatting when writing in Trac, and preview before submitting to ensure you got it right.

just tried rebuilding orbit2 with llvm-gcc-4.2 and it failed with the following:

Seems like the old compiler location is hard coded somewhere...

[skymoo (Adam Mercer)]

Seems like that somewhere would be libidl forcing a rebuild of that allows me to install orbit2 and libbonobo

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

So you just needed to force a rebuild of libidl with its default compiler, and then you could build orbit2 and libbonobo with their default compilers? You did not need to switch any port to an alternate compiler?

Yep, just rebuilt libidl, then orbit2 and libbonobo built without issue. No need to switch compilers.

[neverpanic (Clemens Lang)]

I can confirm rebuilding (in my case only downloading from the buildbot) libidl fixes this problem. Maybe we should revbump libidl to trigger this for everybody?

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

The problem is that libidl needs to be rebuilt when a user upgrades Xcode in such a way that the default compiler changes. (Xcode 3 -> 4, or Xcode 4.0/4.1 -> 4.2+) MacPorts doesn't have a feature for ensuring that. (I've ​proposed such a feature on the mailing list, but there was no response.) Increasing libidl's revision today will only help users who have already upgraded Xcode, and will not help users who upgrade Xcode in the future.

It is good to know that Apple doesn't seem to think the MacPorts is important enough to address. My problem seems to have improved. I have no issues but the above issue has resolved itself as far as I can tell. I am not sure why since I have not updated my development system.

The company Apple has nothing to do with it. MacPorts is an independent open-source project; we're not paid to work on it, so we do what we can and what we're interested in in our spare time. Sometimes that means some things don't get fixed, if there's nobody sufficiently motivated to fix a particular problem.

I reread your post and I see that Apple has nothing to do with it. I am very grateful for Macports. I wish there was something small enough that I could work on to make a contribution. I would be interested and capable of maintaining something in the node.js area.

The current version of libbonobo built fine on 10.6-10.15. I would assume this was at least worked around by requiring the Command Line Tools to be installed and choosing the clang in /usr/bin if present.
