Cannot build ds9

[manulcaux]

Hi,

I am trying to install ds9. I did the following :

sudo port seflupdate : OK
sudo port install ds9 : failed
sudo port clean ds9 : OK
sudo port install ds9 : failed with the same error :

Checking the relevant file, I see at the end this error :

:info:build #include "tclDTrace.h"

It seems there is a missing file in the ds9 distribution ?

I attach the complete mail.log file

Many thanks for your help

Hi,

Some news about that ? I still cannot install ds9 on my laptop, still the same error. Is there an alternative ?

Thanks

I was not able to reproduce this on my Sierra machine, but I enabled binary redistribution for this port so that the MacPorts buildbot will save the binary. Either it will fail on the buildbot and give us more clues, or it will result in a usable binary.

[manulcaux]

OK, great, but what should I do to obtain this binary redistribution ?

Many thanks,

When it's done uploading, I'll reply again. At that point, you should pick it up automatically by running:

$ sudo port clean ds9
$ sudo port install ds9

Try it now.

You could either disable parallel build with use_parallel_build no for this release or apply the upstream patch to the bundled Tcl.
