Builds fine here. What else can you tell me about your system (full OS version, result from 'gcc -- version', result from 'port installed')?

I'm using a relatively pristine OSX 10.4.2 install, the machine is only a week old.

If I first do

$ export CC=/opt/local/bin/gcc-dp-3.4 $ export CXX=/opt/local/bin/g++-dp-3.4

it builds fine, so it appears that the problem is that it won't build with gcc 4.0. Should this be a port dependency?

Incidentally, in continuing to try to install ethereal, port Xft2 also won't build with gcc 4.0.

[ghenshaw@…]

...but then ethereal won't build with gcc-3.4, and if I build it with gcc-4.0 it fails to run. The solution, it seems, is to get xrender to build with gcc-4.0. Help!

[yves@…]

I got the bad boy !

tk 8.4.11_2+macosx

Don't ask me why though. I diffed the failing build's config.log with the succeeding one's are both are identical. I can use a failed build"s configure to build successfully, as long as I uninstall tk (deactivate should do it with less pain). This really happens somewhere between the Makefile and gcc, most probably in the #include chain.

[ksahr@…]

I tried 'port deactivate tk' and then both xrender and Xft2 built with no problems (as did pango, which was also failing for me). Many thanks!!!!

[yves@…]

tk is blocking many other builds : windowmaker, enlightenment, xchat2, xpdf

isn't it strange for a port to install many X11 include duplicates ?

yves$ port contents tk

[...] /opt/local/include/X11/cursorfont.h /opt/local/include/X11/keysym.h /opt/local/include/X11/keysymdef.h /opt/local/include/X11/X.h /opt/local/include/X11/Xatom.h /opt/local/include/X11/xbytes.h /opt/local/include/X11/Xfuncproto.h /opt/local/include/X11/Xlib.h /opt/local/include/X11/Xutil.h

[cssdev@…]

I ran into this problem as well. I was going crazy wondering why all my visualization builds that worked fine last week suddenly broke. It was only when I noticed X11 headers in /opt/local that I tracked down the problem to Tk (which I just installed other night as part of a dependency.) Once I deactivated the port, then everything proceeded without any trouble. The Tk port's X11 headers create a lot of problems for my code outside DarwinPorts, so maybe a more detailed comparison is needed between the versions provided by the port and by Apple's X11?

[yves@…]

Fixed long ao, BTW

(In reply to comment #9)

Fixed long ao, BTW

That means this bug can be closed, correct?

[yves@…]

correct !

This appears to have resurfaced:

What is the output of the following?

port installed xorg-libX11 tk

[chrstphrchvz (Christopher Chavez)]

I believe there were changes made within the past several months that might have addressed this: ​https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/commit/a11b15ca0f (#56531) and ​https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/commit/d907eeeef7 .

On my system, tk @8.6.9_1+x11 does not install any X11 headers, and tk @8.6.9_1+quartz puts X11 headers under its own directory /opt/local/include/X11_tk/, so xorg-libX11 @1.6.7_0 seems to coexist fine with these.

[MarcusCalhoun-Lopez (Marcus Calhoun-Lopez)]

As noted by others, this problem should have been fixed for a few months now.
Since there has been no response to ​the request for further information, I will close this again.
