Unable to install inventor in MacOS 10.8.5

[david@…]

I have attached a file showing the output of "sudo port -d install inventor", along with the referenced log file. I am trying to install inventor on a MacBook Pro running MacOS 10.8.5. This is my first macport ticket, so please let me know what other information I should be submitting.

Output from 'sudo port -d install inventor'

[david@…]

I looked into the problem, and I see the error that was produced by inconsistencies between inventor and coin. I have uninstalled inventor and coin. Now I get a different error when trying to cleanly install inventor. I am attaching two new port_inventor_errors.txt and inventor_main.log files. Sorry about the confusion. This is my first time having problems with macports.

In the future, please fill in the Port field and Cc the port maintainers (port info --maintainers inventor), if any.

Probably caused by this:

:info:build ppp.c++:630:1: error: C++ requires a type specifier for all declarations
:info:build main(int, char *argv[])
:info:build ^~~~
:info:build 1 warning and 1 error generated.
:info:build make[2]: *** [ppp.o] Error 1

This looks like an error resulting from code from much more lenient days of C++. Should be an easy fix, I'll take a look.

Maybe I could do something as simple as reinplace "s|^main|int main|"? It's messy, but I have it almost working. There seems to be a problem with the build.env not passing the DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH variable. That's needed by the build process so some of the tools can use the dylib that's just been built. I thought this would take care of it:

build.env	DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=${worksrcpath}/lib IVROOT=${destroot}
destroot.env	${build.env}

But apparently not:

(cd .. && ../../../../doc/man/ivman/ivman `../../../../doc/man/ivman/makeManDirs SbSphere`) > SbSphere.3iv

Ugh, new OS security measures getting in the way ... see ticket:49418#comment:3:

I think the problem is that as of OS X 10.11 El Capitan, DYLD_* environment variables are not passed to subshells; this is a security measure. I have not examined vtk5's build system closely to see if a subshell is being used, but I assume that must be what's happening. We would then have to see if the subshell can be avoided somehow, or if the DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable can be set closer to the place where it's actually needed.

Seems to be exactly what's happening here.

[cssdev]

I have everything compiled! Now I have to figure out getting X11 in place on El Capitan to test that Inventor actually works.

[cssdev]

As of r144718 I can build and run inventor! Can you confirm this works for you on Mountain Lion?

[cssdev]

It looks like the automated builtbot builds failed due to openmotif needing the flat namespace variant. See #49379.

[belinda.marchand@…]

I'm confused. I can't really see what the resolution is here. I've been having the same problem since the upgrade to El Capitan last year. A clean re-install of macports did not fix the problem so I assume whatever fixes addressed this above have not been pushed up? So, what's the local way of fixing this?
