Cannot use wxWidgets_select (with wxGTK)

[Themanwithoutaplan]

Hi,

not sure if this is just select or wxGTK but I can't use

port select wxWidgets wxgtk-2.8.

I get

Selecting 'wxgtk-2.8' for 'wxWidgets' failed: could not create new link "/opt/local/share/bakefile/presets/wx.bkl": no such file or directory

What is the output of

port contents wxgtk-2.8 | grep share

on your machine? I get

  /opt/local/Library/Frameworks/wxWidgets.framework/Versions/wxGTK/2.8/share/aclocal/wxwin.m4
  /opt/local/Library/Frameworks/wxWidgets.framework/Versions/wxGTK/2.8/share/bakefile/presets/wx.bkl
  /opt/local/Library/Frameworks/wxWidgets.framework/Versions/wxGTK/2.8/share/bakefile/presets/wx_unix.bkl
  /opt/local/Library/Frameworks/wxWidgets.framework/Versions/wxGTK/2.8/share/bakefile/presets/wx_win32.bkl

  /opt/local/Library/Frameworks/wxWidgets.framework/Versions/wxGTK/2.8/share/doc/wxWidgets/readme-gtk.txt
  /opt/local/Library/Frameworks/wxWidgets.framework/Versions/wxGTK/2.8/share/doc/wxWidgets/readme-mac.txt

and the select mechanism works for me.

[Themanwithoutaplan]

I get

 /opt/local/Library/Frameworks/wxWidgets.framework/Versions/wxGTK/2.8/share/aclocal/wxwin.m4
 /opt/local/Library/Frameworks/wxWidgets.framework/Versions/wxGTK/2.8/share/bakefile/presets/wx.bkl
 /opt/local/Library/Frameworks/wxWidgets.framework/Versions/wxGTK/2.8/share/bakefile/presets/wx_unix.bkl
 /opt/local/Library/Frameworks/wxWidgets.framework/Versions/wxGTK/2.8/share/bakefile/presets/wx_win32.bkl
 /opt/local/Library/Frameworks/wxWidgets.framework/Versions/wxGTK/2.8/share/doc/wxWidgets/install-gtk.txt
 /opt/local/Library/Frameworks/wxWidgets.framework/Versions/wxGTK/2.8/share/doc/wxWidgets/install-mac.txt

 /opt/local/Library/Frameworks/wxWidgets.framework/Versions/wxGTK/2.8/share/doc/wxWidgets/readme-mac.txt

Which is the same as you but I still can't use port select

[mojca (Mojca Miklavec)]

Can you please try

sudo port -d select wxWidgets none
sudo port -d select wxWidgets wxgtk-2.8

to check if there are more clues hidden there?

[mojca (Mojca Miklavec)]

Does the folder /opt/local/share/bakefile/presets exist on your machine?

Maybe that folder is missing and doing

[sudo] mkdir -p /opt/local/share/bakefile/presets

would help, but that would mean a bug in "port select".

[Themanwithoutaplan]

cd: /opt/local/share/bakefile/presets: No such file or directory

But that doesn't mean to me that "port select" has a bug. Works fine with other ports.

[mojca (Mojca Miklavec)]

Are you able to select wxWidgets-3.0 then? Does it help if you create /opt/local/share/bakefile/presets first?

[Themanwithoutaplan]

Yes, wxWidgets-3.0 works fine. Here's the debug output. Looks (to me) like the paths are different.

Selecting 'wxWidgets-3.0' for 'wxWidgets' succeeded. 'wxWidgets-3.0' is now active.

[mojca (Mojca Miklavec)]

I know it's stupid, but now that you have wxWidget-3.0 active, can you please try with wxgtk-2.8 again? I really don't understand why it wouldn't work as long as the file /opt/local/Library/Frameworks/wxWidgets.framework/Versions/wxGTK/2.8/share/bakefile/presets/wx.bkl exists on your computer.

[Themanwithoutaplan]

Yes, it does then work.

[mojca (Mojca Miklavec)]

I think I understand the problem now.

Version 3.0 contains:

post-destroot {
    xinstall -m 755 -d ${destroot}${prefix}/share/bakefile/presets
}

destroot.keepdirs ${destroot}${prefix}/share/bakefile/presets

while version 2.8 doesn't.

As a consequence the following files end up in /opt/local/share/bakefile/presets/

.turd_wxPython-3.0
.turd_wxWidgets-3.0
.turd_wxWidgets-3.0-libcxx
.turd_wxgtk-3.0

but not for 2.8.

[mojca (Mojca Miklavec)]

I attached a patch. I would be grateful for some additional testing before committing it.
