kdelibs3 won't build because of wrong autoconf version

[tehcog (tehcog)]

kdelibs3 won't build on MacPorts base version 2.1.3, Snowleopard 10.6.8 Please see attached file.

debug log

It is not useful to Cc nomaintainer.

It is more helpful if you attach the main.log file.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

The log already attached is sufficient; it says:

error: Autoconf version 2.65 or higher is required

So, kdelibs3's dependency on port:autoconf263 seems incorrect.

What happens if you install the autoconf port? Or is it already installed?

Thanks for your assistance in this matter. I have:

The following ports are currently installed:
  autoconf @2.68_2
  autoconf @2.69_0 (active)
  autoconf263 @2.63_0 (active)

Am I missing something here?

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Nope; the kdelibs3 port is simply programmed to explicitly use autoconf263. That appears to be wrong and should be fixed.

[jmroot (Joshua Root)]

Given that it built fine before, it seems more likely that not also depending on an autoconf263-compatible automake is the problem.

It could be fixed by using automake-17 and aclocal-17.

Indeed it builds fine again with the above patch! :-)

Committed as r104164.

[jmroot (Joshua Root)]

Should it really depend on both automake and automake17?

kdelibs3 main.log

[wulfgang@…]

I am using the most recent version of XCode and Macports, and I am still having trouble to compile.

I ran

sudo port clean kdelibs3
sudo port install kdelibs3

which triggered an install of automake17. This install was successful, but kdelibs3 failed:

There are many more error messages that seem similar (problems with operators etc.). See the attached log for details.

There are many more error messages that seem similar (problems with operators etc.). See the attached log for details.

These warnings are actually not the problem. The actual problem you encounter is:

:info:build Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64:
:info:build   "QPtrList<DCOPClientTransaction>::deleteItem(void*)", referenced from:
:info:build       vtable for QPtrList<DCOPClientTransaction> in libDCOP.4.2.0.dylib-master.o
:info:build ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture x86_64
:info:build clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
:info:build Error creating ./dcop/libDCOP.la. Exit status 1.

Do you happen to have a second, no mac ports version of qt3 installed?

You probably have run a selfupdate (sudo port selfupdate) prior to building?

Can you supply us with more information about the version of OS X you are using?

This is a new problem now, for which there should be a new ticket, please. And in fact there already is: #38876

Removed automake dependency in r106068.
