avahi @0.6.31_12: fails to configure

[petrrr]

I cannot update avahi because it fails on the configure step. I am running on OS X 10.8, MacPorts 2.2.1, Xcode 4.6.2, Build version 4H1003

Is your cairo installed with the +quartz variant, like your gtk2 is?

[petrrr]

It is not! I thought it was, but the cairo @1.12.16_2+universal+x11, seems to have been installed at some point later ...

petr% port installed gtk2 cairo
The following ports are currently installed:
  cairo @1.12.16_2+quartz+x11
  cairo @1.12.16_2+universal+x11 (active)
  cairo @1.12.16_2+x11
  gtk2 @2.24.22_1+quartz (active)
  gtk2 @2.24.22_1+x11

So I probably need to fix this, but what will I break then?

[neverpanic (Clemens Lang)]

You can install cairo +x11+quartz (and even +universal, if you have to). That should fix it.

  gtk2 @2.24.22_1+x11

Unlike most other things with both +quartz and +x11 variants, cairo's +quartz and +x11 variants can both be selected simultaneously. So I would not worry about it breaking anything.

I actually tried to reactivate cairo @1.12.16_2+quartz+x11. But rev-upgrade reverted the change, so I am now rebuilding with +universal, to see if this makes the trick.

Anyway, if it is save to have +quartz+x11 variant, why not make it the default, so that is can serve almost all ports or does this involves too many dependencies?

Cc Me!

[petrrr]

Okay I build with cairo with +quartz+x11+universal variants and now also avahi builds fine. So basically it is only the depencency handling which might be somewhat cleaner.

Thanks for helping with this!

Which in other words means using require_active_variants for cairo as well. Avahi already checks the variants of gtk2 with require_active_variants, so it should be easy just to do likewise with cairo.
^{(Of course it would be easier if #126 ever gets fixed, but that looks like that will never happen...)}

Thanks for helping with this!

You're welcome!

I realize the pixilla dropped maintainership. So what to do about this ticket? Anyone willing to commit the proposed change before this ticket is closed?

[pixilla (Bradley Giesbrecht)]

Attaching a patch to the ticket will be helpful.

The portfile for avahi has since had a few changes and has been updated to 0.7, is this issue still present?

[mf2k (Frank Schima)]

No response from reporter. Assuming the update fixed this.
