spice-gtk 0.33: Failed to build spice-gtk: command execution failed

[hexadecagram ({16/7})]

Build failure. Here's the output of port install spice-gtk:

Error: Failed to build spice-gtk: command execution failed

libepoxy provides #include <epoxy/egl.h>, but not by default on darwin. There is a configure arg that is supposed to enable it, but it doesn't result in it building. Editing configure.ac prior to running configure to try to force it just leads to an egl.pc not found error.

I did manage to get it to build in the work directory and could copy it over by hand, but that's a messed up way to approach this.

So -- I think for this one, you'll have to wait for dave or similar to tell us why that header is so bashful.

In the future, please fill in the Port field only with the port that actually fails to build and Cc that port's maintainers (port info --maintainers spice-gtk), if any.

Is there any update on this issue? I don't see any workaround, and this is blocking me from building software on my Mac. Thanks for looking into it!

I only ever tested the +quartz variant — I assume you're trying to build +x11? I've just pushed a change which upgrade spice-gtk to 0.34, and adds a warning that +x11 is untested. The upgrade might fix your issues; if so, please let me know!

In 8e08d3793fbd1f3c804420d221eb854aa3abd2f4/macports-ports:

spice-gtk: upgrade to 0.34

I've added a +quartz variant and also a warning that the +x11 variant
is untested.

The +quartz variant forces the build system to build all C sources as
Objective-C due to some #include oddities. Yes, this is rather large
hammer for this particular nail, but Objective-C is supposed to be a
strict superset of C, so... it works...

In 0243d19702c9cc61599d71ffe5379b37cda8ec0a/macports-ports:

spice-gtk: remove warning and comments

The build succeeded on the 10.12 builder, so we can assume that X11 at
the very least compiles.
