glib2 fails with /usr/include/hfs/hfs_format.h:765

[jan.doumen@…]

Build of glib2 fails with the following error:

:info:build /usr/include/hfs/hfs_format.h:765: error: expected specifier-qualifier-list before 'uuid_string_t'

Solution proposed in Ticket #21282 does not work.

Running MacOS 10.6.8.

Also tried installing older version of glib2 as proposed in Ticket #32185.

Also did an uninstall followed by a self update.

[jan.doumen@…]

Any more information needed?

Could you attach the main.log file?

/Users/DeJean/Attachments/glib2 appears to be your own copy of glib2 @2.28.8; we updated the glib2 port to version 2.30.2 in r87469 last November. I recommend you use our version of glib2 would should work fine.

I'm not a programmer, so I definitely did not make my 'own copy' of glib2. I've also performed many self updates to make sure I always have the latest versions. Will check again with another self update, but if after that the issue still is the same, then I'd like this ticket to be re-opened.

What is in the directory /Users/DeJean/Attachments/glib2?

What is in the file /opt/local/etc/macports/sources.conf?

[jan.doumen@…]

I removed that glib2 directory. Possibly something I tried before to get glib2 installed.

In the conf file there is : rsync://rsync.macports.org/release/ports/ [default]

I've just done a self update, and tried again installing glib2 ... still failing.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Ok, could you attach the new main.log file?

[jan.doumen@…]

Attached !

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

The log says "Skipping completed" meaning this wasn't a clean attempt. Could you "sudo port clean glib2", then try again, then attach the new log? That'll make it easier to compare your output with mine.

3rd main.log

Thanks. Having refreshed my memory, I now recall that we saw this problem before (#21282). The problem was the existence of a uuid.h header which had different contents from and therefore conflicted with one provided by the operating system. That uuid.h header had been installed by the e2fsprogs port. We fixed the problem by changing the e2fsprogs port so that it would no longer install that header. But if something else installed a header by that name on your system, then that would explain the problem.

Does the file /usr/local/include/uuid/uuid.h exist on your system? If so, move it aside, clean glib2, and try again.

Or does the file /opt/local/include/uuid/uuid.h exist? If so, use "port provides /opt/local/include/uuid/uuid.h" to see what port provided it, then "sudo port -f deactivate" that port, clean glib2, and try again.

Seems like the first suggestion was the good one ! Thanks !!!

Good! I'm glad that worked.

Software installed in /usr/local can easily conflict with software you want to install with MacPorts, which is why we recommend you do not install any software in /usr/local.
