Maxima .28.0_3 +printable_doc does not build on 10.8

Reported by: someuser12 Owned by: KubaO (Kuba Ober)

Description

On Mac OS 10.8 with MacPorts 2.1.3, maxima @5.28.0_3+printable_doc's build process stops in the (sub)directory interfaces/emacs/imaxima while making target pdf (see messages below). Workaround to finish the build and the installation:

cd `port work maxima`
cd maxima-5.28.0/interfaces/emacs/imaxima
sudo make pdf
# resume installation:
sudo port install maxima +printable_doc

The error message during the original build (excerpt from the build log):

[...]

Performing make pdf by hand (outside of the automated build process) works, probably because of the use of a different environment.

Workaround buggy texi2dvi being incompatible with bsdsed with an ugly hack forcing usage of gsed in the maxima Portfile. Should be fixed upstream or by the texlive maintainer.
maxima-printable_doc-fix.patch (666 bytes) - added by Ionic (Mihai Moldovan) 10 years ago.
Let bsdsed handle the provided file gracefully by setting LC_ALL=C in the build env. We can drop this, as soon as texinfo upstream removes recode support, which is currently the reason for bsdsed chocking. Also rework the dependencies. texinfo, texlive-latex and texlive-basic are enough, no need to pull in the full texlive suite. texinfo has even been missing completely.

Summary: Maxima .28.0_3 +printable_doc does not buildMaxima .28.0_3 +printable_doc does not build on 10.8

The sed on 10.8 requires file contents to be valid in the current locale. The default is UTF-8, so if this file uses some other encoding, LC_CTYPE needs to be set appropriately in the environment.

Is this still a problem with the current maxima version?

Replying to ionic@…:

Is this still a problem with the current maxima version?

Yes, there is the same problem. With Maxima 5.33.0:

Command failed:  cd "/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_math_maxima/maxima/work/maxima-5.33.0" && /usr/bin/make -j8 -w all pdf

The error message is still:

sed: RE error: illegal byte sequence
make[3]: *** [imaxima.pdf] Error 1
make[3]: Leaving directory `/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_math_maxima/maxima/work/maxima-5.33.0/interfaces/emacs/imaxima'

Workaround:

cd `port work maxima`/maxima-5.33.0/interfaces/emacs/imaxima
sudo make pdf

and resume install / upgrade after that.

ACK, can reproduce.

comment:6 Changed 11 years ago by Ionic (Mihai Moldovan)

Unfortunately, this is a latex issue.

I could provide an ugly hack depending on gsed and setting PATH to use gsed for that command only, but that's really, really ugly.

comment:7 Changed 11 years ago by Ionic (Mihai Moldovan)

Try that, it should be working fine, but the baseline issue needs to be fixed at texlive level... probably even by upstream. :(

comment:8 in reply to:  7 Changed 11 years ago by someuser12

Indeed, it works fine for me (Maxima 5.33.0, MacPorts 2.2.1, Mac OS 10.8.5). Thanks!

This patch makes the previous workaround obsolete. Let's wrap this up, shall we?

Dependency on texlive replaced in r121940. If LC patch is still needed after r121939, we can add it later.

comment:15 Changed 10 years ago by Ionic (Mihai Moldovan)

Thanks, builds fine with the updated texinfo port for me.

comment:16 Changed 10 years ago by mf2k (Frank Schima)

Resolution: fixed
Status: newclosed

So this is fixed then?

comment:17 Changed 10 years ago by Ionic (Mihai Moldovan)

Yep, all good.
