couchdb@1.6.1 missing erlang (erl_driver.h) as dependency?

[posita (Matt Bogosian)]

This is a user install attempt. From main.log:

:info:configure checking Erlang version compatibility... -n detected Erlang version: 6.4.0...

This might be a bug against erlang in a user-install situation, I'm not sure:

% find [user_install_dir] -name erl_driver.h
/Users/xyz/.site/lib/erlang/erts-6.4/include/erl_driver.h
/Users/xyz/.site/lib/erlang/usr/include/erl_driver.h

UPDATE: sister issue filed against Erlang (see #47613).

[posita (Matt Bogosian)]

Solved (with respect to couchdb) by adding --with-erlang=${prefix}/lib/erlang/erts-6.4/include to configure.args.

Could you please attach the full config.log?

Using a standard MacPorts installation erl_driver.h is looked up in ${prefix}/lib/erlang/usr/include/:

configure:18637: checking erl_driver.h presence
configure:18637: /usr/bin/clang++ -E -I${exec_prefix}/lib/erlang/usr/include -I/usr/lib/erlang/usr/include -I/usr/local/lib/erlang/usr/include -I/opt/local/lib/erlang/usr/include -I/opt/local/include -I/opt/local/include -I/usr/local/include -I/usr/include  conftest.cpp

*.log files attached. I'm not sure why erl_driver.h isn't being found in its normal place:

But you're right, adding --with-erlang=${prefix}/lib/erlang/usr/include to configure.args works as well. (I know that's not quite a solution, but I thought I'd mention it, since my original workaround looked for a specific version directory.)

Could you please add configure.pre_args-append --exec-prefix=${prefix} to the portfile, test again and report the result?

Unfortunately, that didn't work. I've attached updated *.log files.

I didn't mention this before, but I am also using the work-around I posted for #40360 (if it matters):
