doxygen @1.8.1: graphiz dependency problem?

[philippe.lang@…]

Hi,

I'm not sure this is the right place to mention this. While trying to install the "doxygen" port, it systematically failed while trying to install the "graphviz" port, like this:

[~]$ sudo port install doxygen
Password:
--->  Computing dependencies for doxygen
--->  Dependencies to be installed: graphviz
--->  Building graphviz
Error: org.macports.build for port graphviz returned: command execution failed
Error: Failed to install graphviz
Please see the log file for port graphviz for details:
    /opt/local/var/macports/logs/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_graphics_graphviz/graphviz/main.log
Error: The following dependencies were not installed: graphviz
To report a bug, follow the instructions in the guide:
    http://guide.macports.org/#project.tickets
Error: Processing of port doxygen failed

I decided to install "graphviz" directly, and then it worked:

[~]$ sudo port install graphviz

--->  Verifying checksum(s) for pkgconfig
--->  Extracting pkgconfig
--->  Applying patches to pkgconfig

I could then install doxygen without a problem.

This looks like a dependency problem in the doxygen port, or maybe graphviz.

Replying to philippe.lang@…:

The fact that it went straight to building graphviz, skipping the earlier phases fetch, extract, patch and configure, shows that this was not a clean attempt. If you were still experiencing the problem, we would ask you to "sudo port clean graphviz" and try again. If that then worked, then I would say you had experienced #29223, which will be fixed in a future version of MacPorts.

We would need to have seen the contents of this log file to know what went wrong. But since you've already tried again, the original log will have been overwritten. And if you've been able to successfully install graphviz, then the new log will have been deleted already (unless you had previously set "keeplogs yes" in macports.conf; the default is not to keep logs of successful builds).

I decided to install "graphviz" directly, and then it worked:

Great, then there's nothing to do here.
