python27 @2.7.12_1 fails to build +universal on Sierra; prevents installation of wine

[kode54 (Christopher Snowhill)]

I am attempting to install wine, and this package fails to build due to the Mac glue attempting to import Quicktime headers, which no longer exist.

In future port-related tickets, please Cc the maintainers (e.g., port info --maintainers python27), if any.

There is a ​patch attached to the upstream issue but I don't know if that's the best solution. Jeremy, what do you think?

[jeremyhu (Jeremy Huddleston Sequoia)]

AvailabilityMacros.h is super deprecated and should not be used by anything current. Availability.h was added as replacement in 10.5.

__MAC_OS_X_VERSION_MAX_ALLOWED should be checked instead of defined (DEPRECATED_IN_MAC_OS_X_VERSION_10_12_AND_LATER)

They should really have a central config and use that instead. Eg:

#include <Availability.h>
#define APPLE_SUPPORTS_QUICKTIME (__MAC_OS_X_VERSION_MAX_ALLOWED < 101200) && !__LP64__

Replying to jeremyhu@…:

It would be nice to still be able to build on 10.4...

[jeremyhu (Jeremy Huddleston Sequoia)]

Ok, then:

#if __has_include(<Availability.h>)
#include <Availability.h>
#define APPLE_SUPPORTS_QUICKTIME (__MAC_OS_X_VERSION_MAX_ALLOWED < 101200) && !__LP64__
#else
#define APPLE_SUPPORTS_QUICKTIME !__LP64__
#endif

Please use the v2 version of the upstream patch which incorporates my feedback:

There is another, unrelated issue with building Python 3.6 on 10.4. As of 3.6, certain features of the C99 standard are used in C modules; as a result, 3.6 no longer compiles with gcc-4.0, the standard in Xcode 2.5 for 10.4. So you'll probably need to add a dependency on a MacPorts-supplied C compiler (gcc-4.2 is fine).

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

We changed the default compiler on Tiger to Apple GCC 4.2 (provided by MacPorts) years ago. If there is another issue with Tiger please file a new ticket.

[ned-deily (Ned Deily)]

Oh, good. I haven't actually yet tried to install the python36 port on 10.4. One more thing, the v2 patch referred to by Jeremy above needed to be tweaked for gcc-4.2 et al. The final version has been committed here: ​https://hg.python.org/cpython/rev/4030300fcb18

r152947, maintainer timeout. I applied the upstream patch but don’t have Sierra available to test; can someone verify that +universal works on Sierra now?

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Doing a trial build now: ​https://build.macports.org/builders/ports-10.12_x86_64-builder/builds/5460

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

That works. Can we apply the same patch to all the other python2x ports, please? (I tested python31 and python36 and they didn't have this problem.)

This works for me now. Can we close this ticket?

$ port -v installed python27
The following ports are currently installed:
  python27 @2.7.12_1+universal (active) platform='darwin 16' archs='i386 x86_64' date='2016-09-21T20:57:53-0600'

[larryv (Lawrence Velázquez)]

I would like to keep this open to remind myself to fix the other Python 2 ports also, once I actually upgrade my machine to Sierra.

[larryv (Lawrence Velázquez)]

In 03f6ca7c/macports-ports:

python26: Improve check for QuickTime/QuickTime.h

This fixes 32-bit builds on Sierra, which removed that header.

See: #52043

"I would like to keep this open to remind myself to fix the other Python 2 ports also, once I actually upgrade my machine to Sierra."

Can we close this instead and have you open a fresh ticket to remind yourself of the other fixes? This is actually done, and having a high priority open at the top of the "haspatch" list that should really just be a fresh ticket makes it harder to find what actually needs fixing. If I don't hear objections, I'll be closing this in a day or two.

[mf2k (Frank Schima)]

Agreed, the High priority fix was committed long ago.
