Incompatible with boost 1.50, no doubt. Have you already reported this to the developer of enblend? If not, please do.

[icaines77@…]

I think you're right: the port builds successfully when boost 1.49 is reactivated. I've reported this on the enblend bugtracker.

Thanks for filing ​bug 1023037.

i run in to nearly the same problem with "enblend" ...

(i am on mac os x 10.7.4)

i did a "port selfupdate" then "port upgrade outdated" .. then it failed with that output :

I experience the same problem as you, with Mac OS X 10.5.8 "port upgrade outdated" does not work any more beacause of that problem. Is there any fix, except downgrading from boost1.50 to 1.49 ?

Yes, all users will be affected by this problem.

Is there any fix, except downgrading from boost1.50 to 1.49 ?

Assist the developers of enblend with developing a fix for the problem?

This is also a problem compiling with the gcc compiler, on Mac OS 10.6.8, XCode 3.2.6.

[hvdwolf@…]

I already made a patch but it doesn't function. It has to do with my lack of knowledge how Port files work. I will include the configure.in.diff and the Portfile.enblend.diff and I hope that a macports guru can solve it.

[hvdwolf@…]

Portfile patch to include configure patch for compination with boost 1.50

[hvdwolf@…]

patch file to build enblend 4.0 against boost 1.50

Your Portfile is OK but you missed some changes in your patch for configure.in. I managed to compile enblend with the attached patches that I basically got from ​this and ​this upstream patch.

May I commit these changes?

yes, please do apply the changes.

Actually I'm no longer on OSX. I moved back to linux now that my macbook got really old. I hardly use my macbook anymore.

Applied in r96094.

Are you still interested in maintaining your ports (autopano-sift-c, enblend, hugin-app) or should we assign them to someone else?

[raphael-st (Raphael Straub)]

Hm, on the Lion and Snow Leopard buildbots (both x86_64) configure still says

checking for boost/filesystem.hpp... yes
configure: Boost "filesystem" header or library not found.  Using built-in support.

and the build fails because the enblend binary is linked with no boost library at all. On my Snow Leopard i386 system enblend builds fine with boost.

Can anybody attach a config.log of a failed build to this ticket?

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

I've attached my main.log and config.log from a failed build on Mountain Lion. The relevant line in the config.log seems to be:

ld: library not found for -lboost_filesystem

This probably corresponds with an unrelated change that was made to boost in r95845 turning off building of the single-threaded versions of the boost libraries by default, leaving only the multithreaded libraries:

$ port contents boost |grep filesystem.*dylib
  /opt/local/lib/libboost_filesystem-mt.dylib

So enblend needs to be doing -lboost_filesystem-mt etc. instead.

I think autopano-sift-c and enblend should be assigned to someone else. Note that autopano-sift-c will no longer be further developed.

Hugin-app is slightly different. I have been the hugin bundle maintainer for quite some, e.g. outside macports and inside XCode, but I had hoped to be able to fix the current hugin issue (​https://trac.macports.org/ticket/31778). That is not for the current release and not for the new to be released 2012.0 (almost there). I modified the current development trunk (future 2012.2 release) of hugin to compile against cocoa and wxwidgets. This makes it possible to overcome the current unsolvable issue and makes hugin also 64bit compliant. I will still monitor that as I will stay connected to hugin (currently release manager for current release) so I hesitate about already "leaving" hugin-app. I will also try to backport that to 2012.0. I'm still too attached to hugin.

Yes, this is the problem. My boost installation has both single- and multi-threaded libraries.

I found out that configure does not check for pthread support and therefore does not try to link with the multi-threaded boost libraries. The attached patch for configure.in fixes it for me. Maintainer, may I commit it?

Yes, please do apply the patch. If you want to become the maintainer of macports enblend please say so. I fully agree with that and I would love it if someone would take over

I only use enblend very rarely. So, I propose to take co-maintainership. Maybe it would also help to add openmaintainer to enblend. Or is there anybody else who would like to take over maintainership of enblend?
