cairo, cairo-devel: fix for build failures against Xcode 7.3 linker when /usr/local/lib is absent

Description (last modified by ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt))
The Xcode 7.3 linker produces a new warning...
ld: warning: directory not found for option '-L/usr/local/lib'
when the /usr/local/lib directory is absent. The configure script in cairo uses its own pthread test, which doesn't cope with warnings, rather than the standard one from pthread.m4. The attached Portfile.diff adds a simple fix to prune the results from 'cat conftest.err' of lines with these warnings. Tested on 10.11 with Xcode 7.3 beta 5 and /usr/local/lib missing.

comment:1 Changed 9 years ago by howarth.at.macports@…
Since the build fails on Xcode 7.3 when /usr/local/lib is absent due failure to detect the pthread support...
./cairo-mutex-impl-private.h:262:3: error: "XXX: No mutex implementation found. Cairo will not work with multiple threads. Define CAIRO_NO_MUTEX to 1
to acknowledge and accept this limitation and compile cairo without thread-safety support."
it seems unnecessary to bump the revision.

Have you discussed this problem with the developers of cairo? Do they agree this is the correct solution?

This same error occurs for other reasons that cause linker warnings as well. It appears that anything that throws a linker warning causes the pthread tests to fail, and that in turn causes the error: "XXX: No mutex implementation found. error above.
I just patched this out today building cairo +universal on mojave (where the warning is presumably that i386 is deprecated).

one useful thing to consider is that adding -Wl,-w to the build ldflags appears to suppress warnings coming out the linker.

Ken, does the problem still occur with cairo 1.16.0 (available in the cairo-devel port)? If so, please ping the developers about fixing it via the upstream bug report that you found above.

Update: as of 2018-08-25, https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=33417 had been marked as a duplicate of https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=30910 , which in turn was migrated to their GitLab instance as https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/cairo/cairo/issues/121 . I don't see any more progress in issues/121 as of 2021-01-24.
