log4cxx doesn't build on ML and XCode 4.3, can't find db-4.6

[kyle.j.kauffman@…]

log4cxx depends on apr which depends on db46, which installs libdb-4.6.dylib at ${prefix}/lib/db46/. However, this isn't picked up by clang++ during build. Adding

build {
	set env(LIBRARY_PATH) "${prefix}/lib/db46"
	system "cd ${worksrcpath} && make"
}

to the port fixes this (for some reason using build.env with either LDFLAGS or LIBRARY_PATH didn't work, nor did setting these in pre-build and leaving build to default. Being somewhat new to macports, is there a reason for this?).

Here's the relevant part of the log:

In the future, please Cc the port maintainer(s).

[larryv (Lawrence Velázquez)]

Please undo your change, ​clean, try again, and attach the complete main.log when it fails.

[kyle.j.kauffman@…]

Added main log after clean.

MacPorts automatically sets LIBRARY_PATH to /opt/local/lib for all ports. It's probably wrong for any port to override this.

-L/opt/local/lib/db46 is missing from the invoked compilation command; that's probably all that needs to be added. Not sure why log4cxx's build system didn't know to do this already.

Please confirm your Xcode version. The log confirms you are running OS X 10.8.4, but the minimum version of Xcode that works on Mountain Lion is 4.4, so I don't think you can be running 4.3. The recommended version of Xcode is the latest, which is 4.6.3.

[kyle.j.kauffman@…]

Sorry, I meant Xcode 4.6.3.

Also doesn't build on 10.9 even with Kyle's patch.

That's a different problem. See #41604.
