Easytag depends on mp4v2-1.9 which does not build on Mavericks: #40813. mp4v2-2.0 builds on Mavericks (see the patch attached in #40813), but the current version of easytag in macports does not build against mp4v2... However I managed to compile easytag without mp4 support...

[MaurizioLoreti]

A sort of "me too"... Today, MacPorts mp4v2 has been upgraded to @2.0.0_0 (sudo port upgrade outdated); easytag does not build. OS Mavericks.

Patch for using mp4v2 2.0 with easy tag 2.1.7

[promac@…]

The attached patch fix all the compilation issues, and produces a working version of easytag 2.1.7 for macports on Mavericks.

Replying to promac@…:

The attached patch fix all the compilation issues, and produces a working version of easytag 2.1.7 for macports on Mavericks.

Should we expect a new MacPorts package in a short time, or are we supposed to patch the source ourselves? Sorry, I didn't get this point.

I tested the patch file easytag-2.1.7-mp4v2-build.patch provided by promac. I confirm that the patched easytag compiles without errors and that it appears to run as expected, although I didn't test it thoroughly.

@promac: I had to manually edit the patch file to fix the file names. Please next time create source code patch files according to ​http://guide.macports.org/#development.patches.source.

easytag updated to version 2.1.8 in r114974. Builds successfully on all buildbots including Mavericks.

[promac@…]

Unfortunately, 2.1.8 has only a partial support to m4a, and the pictures are not accessible. That is why I am still using the patched 2.1.7 version ....

In my opinion, mac (apple store) means m4a, and without a full support, easytag on MacPorts is pointless...

This post in from an Ubuntu list, and makes me fear that a clean solution is far away:

​http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.audio.easytag.general/971

I had the same problem on Fedora 20, which forced me to install mp4v2 2.0 myself, dump version 2.1.8, and recompile 2.1.7.
