[ralph@…]

The following ports failed to rebuild after updating to tcltk 8.6.0

The main problem seems to be here:

:info:configure checking for Tcl configuration... found /usr/lib/tclConfig.sh
:info:configure checking for Tk configuration... found /usr/lib/tkConfig.sh
:info:configure checking for existence of /usr/lib/tclConfig.sh... loading
:info:configure checking for existence of /usr/lib/tkConfig.sh... loading

The configure script picks up the system tcl and not the macports one. I'll try to patch the configure script to get the macports one first!

wordnet fixed in r100783.

[g5pw (Aljaž Srebrnič)]

I can't seem to find an error for grass, although the build errors out. Can someone provide a failed build log?

Confirmed the fix works.

vtk5 fixed in r100787.

[g5pw (Aljaž Srebrnič)]

ok, the error for grass is this one:

Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64:
  "_TkCopyAndGlobalEval", referenced from:
      _CancelFunc_Hook in draw.o

Wow - thanks for tracking this down; wasn't looking forward to it... :-)

You're very welcome! I always try to fix my mistakes... ;)

The attached patch attempts to fix the grass compilation by re-adding a private API function that was deleted in tk 8.6. I have still failures in two directories though, lib/python and gui/wxpython. The first is due to a space/tab mixed indent leading to an error, and the second one is a syntax error:

  File "/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_svn.macports.org_trunk_dports_gis_grass/grass/work/grass-6.4.2/dist.i386-apple-darwin12.2.0/etc/wxpython/compat/subprocess.py", line 679
    if (GetVersion() >= 0x80000000L or
                                  ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

I guess the port is not using a specified python version, but just the currently selected one (mine is python33)

I think tcl-sqlite3 was broken by this version change...

It's still trying to check the tcl8.5 lib directory...

Fixed tcl-sqlite3 in r102708. Now, to recap, which ports still fail to build? Has anyone tried my patch for grass?

[ralph@…]

Not too sure how to apply the patch, and you said other things were still broken, so I'm afraid I didn't try the grass patch yet.

I just tried the patch and succeeded building grass +postgresql91. Thanks for that!

When I launch grass though, I'm still getting an error that prevents me at using the GUI:

Starting GRASS ...
ERROR: wxGUI requires wxPython. No module named wxversion
Error in GUI startup. If necessary, please
report this error to the GRASS developers.
Switching to text mode now.

Is this a problem in the port, or should I really ask the grass developers? I see ​http://trac.macports.org/ticket/36904 is there already...

I really don't know, we should wait for the grass maintainer to respond to the ticket...

BTW: I see from your email address that you study/work at the Uni in Trieste, I'm a student there! Small world :)

I can finally close this, as grass should be fixed in r106731. Sorry for the delay, I was actually stumped by a side effect of #36904.
