Poppler does not build in OS 10.9 because of obsolete Postfresql83

[lukewmo (Luke Mo)]

The platform is OS 10.9, xcode 5, xcode tools. The xcode-select is pointed to the right place.

I installed a brand new Macports. The first install is qt4-mac. The second install is: "sudo port install poppler +qt4 +xquartz". I need to do this in order to install okular, which depends upon poppler. Also kde4-kile depends upon okular. I want to use both okular and kde4-kile.

These 2 apps were working. After I upgraded OS from 10.8 to 10.9. They all stopped working, and I could not rebuild them because of the dependence of Poppler on Postgresql83. Postgresql83 needs an include file "DNSServiceDiscovery/DNSServiceDiscovery.h" which is not in /opt/local/includes.

I propose either Postgresql83 should be fixed or be replace by Postgresql92 or 93 in the dependence of Poppler.

As of now, Postgresql83 is obsolete for OS 10.9. I would think of using up-to-date version of postgresql is a wise step. I filed a ticket on Postgresql83, but received no solution.

Poppler has no dependency on postgresql83. qt4-mac used to have variants for the various postgresql versions and therefore a dependency on the specific postgresql version. But these variants have been replaced by the 'qt4-mac-postgresql91-plugin' port and its subports over one year ago.

After I upgraded OS from 10.8 to 10.9.

I don't think you followed the migration instructions.

A fresh install of qt4-mac shouldn't have a dependency on postgresql. If you need support for postgresql install the qt4-mac-postgresql92-plugin.
