pango 1.38.1_0 build failure

[george.dobbs@…]

This is part of the gtk2 build needed for the XtrackCAD program. I built the same on another machine and it worked fine. Both were running Yosemite 10.10.5. However this machine has been through more upgrades. The problem seems be around some kind of conflict between the +x11 and the +quartz variants. I've tried a number of things including various combinations of the variants. I also removed the slightly dated XQuartz version (I think it was 2.7.7) and installed the recent 2.7.8 version.

log of sudo port install pango

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

The relevant error in the log is:

:info:build grep: /opt/local/lib/libintl.la: No such file or directory
:info:build sed: /opt/local/lib/libintl.la: No such file or directory
:info:build libtool:   error: '/opt/local/lib/libintl.la' is not a valid libtool archive

It is normal on OS X 10.9 and later for there to be no .la files. The problem is that something on your system still thinks there should be.

You could run into this type of problem if you upgraded from OS X 10.8 or earlier to OS X 10.9 or later and did not uninstall all ports per the migration instructions. Is it possible that this is what happened?

[george.dobbs@…]

This definitely sounds like it could be the case. This machine has gone through a number of upgrades. I actually had never heard of macports before this, but something seems like it was using it. I'll go through the steps in the migration instructions and let you know. Thanks for the fantastically quick response.

[george.dobbs@…]

I ran the migration instructions and then reran

sudo port install gtk2

Which produced

Error: Processing of port gtk2 failed

The log repeats the same error which you noted before

:info:build grep: /opt/local/lib/libintl.la: No such file or directory
:info:build sed: /opt/local/lib/libintl.la: No such file or directory
:info:build libtool:   error: '/opt/local/lib/libintl.la' is not a valid libtool archive

I did a finder search for libintl.la. The only place I found it (outside of the macports files) was in gettext.m4 located in /opt/local/share/aclocal

/opt/local/share/aclocal > ls -l gettext.m4
-rw-r--r--  1 root  admin  15355 Sep 14 03:36 gettext.m4

gettext does occur in myports.txt

gettext @0.19.6_0 (active) platform='darwin 14' archs='x86_64'

Is there any chance this could be the offender? If not, can you think of a way to locate the problem?

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

The only reference I see to libintl.la in gettext.m4 is on a comment line (i.e. one that begins with the characters "dnl") so that wouldn't do anything.

Just to confirm: when you say you "ran the migration instructions", that means you uninstalled all ports?

[george.dobbs@…]

Ha. Shows what I know about M4!

I did uninstall all ports and then re-installed them, according to the directions.

[george.dobbs@…]

The solution was to rebuild the machine with a new installation of OS X. Then everything worked fine. Thanks for your help. Please close ticket.
