mvktoolnix @7.9.0 +wxwidgets app.executable mmg does not exist

[letaage]

I am having trouble installing mkvtoolnix @7.9.0 under OS X 10.8.

I am using the following command to install mkvtoolnix:

   $ sudo port install mkvtoolnix +wvwidgets

1. libebml required "port install -s" to build using the correct cxx_stdlib for mkvtoolnix port despite macports.conf being set to always compile from source and to use libc++
2. mkvtoolnix does not build properly even with libebml compiled using correct version of libc++.

Initially the installation was failing with a "symbol(s) not found for architecture x86_64" error relating to libebml.

I have followed the recommendations in wiki:Migration and in wiki:LibcxxOnOlderSystems

I removed all my ports with:

   $ sudo port clean --all all

I set my macports.conf file with the following options:

   build_arch              x86_64
   universal_archs         x86_64 i386
   cxx_stdlib              libc++
   buildfromsource         always
   delete_la_files         yes

I did a selfupdate then reinstalled all my ports using the restore_ports.tcl script.

   $ sudo ./restore_ports.tcl myports.txt

Even after doing the above migration and libc++ steps, mkvtoolix still failed with the same error relating to libebml:

I uninstalled and cleaned libeblm and associated packages:

   $ sudo port uninstall libmatroska libebml
   $ sudo port clean --all libmatroska libebml

I then sucessfully reinstalled libebml etc with the "from source" flag on the command line:

   $ sudo port -s install libmatroska libebml

I attempted to install mkvtoolnix again:

   $ sudo port install mkvtoolnix +wvwidgets

This time it failed with a different error message:

This indicates that the mmg application may not have built properly. The log file from this last installation attempt is attached.

It appears that there are two issues:

I am using OS X 10.8 with latest Xcode for 10.8, all OS X updates and macports 2.3.4.

Don't forget to use WikiFormatting and TracLinks when writing in Trac.

Replying to letaage@…:

I have followed the recommendations in wiki:Migration and in wiki:LibcxxOnOlderSystems

I removed all my ports with:

   $ sudo port clean --all all

"sudo port clean --all all" does not remove any installed ports; it just removes their work directories and distfiles. If you want to uninstall all installed ports (and you do need to do that if you've switched from libstdc++ to libc++), you need to run "sudo port uninstall installed".

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

(Actually you only need to uninstall ports that use C++, but it might be easier to uninstall all ports than to try to figure out which ports use C++.)

I think that at some point I did use

   $ sudo port uninstall installed

Actually I must have because at one point I uninstalled macports per the instructions here: ​https://guide.macports.org/chunked/installing.macports.uninstalling.html and reinstalled it again, then modified the new macports.conf file for libc++ etc

mkvtoolnix now at 13.0.0 and uses Qt5 instead of wxwidgets. Therefore likely fixed. Please reopen if still a problem.
