Well, this is the *truth*. I do have installed Berkeley DB 4.8.30. And 4.6.21…

Port decided at some time to install db48, although no port needs it, according to port echo depof:db48 (only clang-3.9 is listed, but it's also listed with db46). So the actual problem is that db_version () in conftest returns 4.6.21, but Clang includes.. /opt/local/include/db48/db.h although its invocation is:

/opt/local/bin/clang-mp-3.9 -o conftest -Werror=unknown-warning-option -pipe -Os -arch x86_64   -I/opt/local/include/db46  -I/opt/local/include/apr-1 -I/opt/local/include -I/opt/local/include   -DDARWIN -DSIGPROCMASK_SETS_THREAD_MASK -DDARWIN_10 -L/opt/local/lib -Wl,-headerpad_max_install_names -arch x86_64  -L/opt/local/lib/db46 -L/opt/local/lib -L/opt/local/lib  -L/opt/local/lib/db46 conftest.c  -L/opt/local/lib/db46 -L/opt/local/lib -ldb-4.6

At least when I run – in my private environment – this command with -H -Wl,-t added I get:

mmm. Works here. I'm confused -- I don't see the explanation for your build failure at first look.

$ port -v installed subversion db46
The following ports are currently installed:
  db46 @4.6.21_10+universal (active) platform='darwin 10' archs='i386 x86_64' date='2016-09-01T21:47:40-0700'

Your main.log says you have db46 installed -- maybe there is something wrong with the installation? Do you have the files there?

There are darwin 9-16 subversion versions up at ​http://packages.macports.org/subversion/ - so there is something unique to your setup that is causing the issue (which may or may not be something we can fix in the port).

port select isn't needed to build subversion, so we don' t h ave to worry about that part.

First I would check to make sure you don't have a bdb installed in /usr/local

If you don't, it would be worth trying to build with trace mode on to see if that makes a difference.

Right! It's only needed for a proper setup. This is one is not:

that's not what port select does.

Nope.

The subversion port tells subversion's configure script to look for bdb include files in ${prefix}/include/db46 and library files in ${prefix}/lib/db46 - so the db46 port needs to be installed but not 'selected'.

I have db48 and db46 installed on my machine (for example) and it builds fine.

There is none. I never needed it for any UNIX tool.

ok, have you tried building with trace mode on?

Yes, I finally performed that and I'll attach the main.log file right after sending this message.

Please tell me what port -v installed db46 shows.

[ballapete (Peter "Pete" Dyballa)]

I now found that it's port echo dependentof:<port name> and not port echo depof:db48<port name>. so there are only two ports, apr-util and subversion, that depend on db46. But both can be built as no_bdb variants. This could make my problem vanish.

OK. The only thing I see is that my version of db46 is built +universal, and yours is not.

Trying that recipe of forcibly deactivating db46 and db48 leads to an "automatic" re-activation of db46 – and then this error:

[danielluke (Daniel J. Luke)]

Ok, so it looks like the "subversion build problem" is actually that the deprecated port select --set db db48 (or db_select) which puts a different db.h in /opt/local/include than the one we're pointing the subversion build at.

Can you try simply port select --set db none ?

The select thing did not even notice that db48 was forcibly uninstalled. No, it did! There is only one option left, none, but db48 is still selected, i.e. nothing.

Ok, scanning through #47921 seems to say that installing the current db_select port will clean up any symlinks that were generated by port select (you could also delete these symlinks from $prefix yourself - include/db.h include/db_cxx.h lib/libdb.a lib/libdb.dylib lib/libdb_cxx.a lib/libdb_cxx.dylib)

once those symlinks aren't there, subversion should build OK for you again.

Replying to ballapete:

root 286 /\ port select --set db none
Selecting 'none' for 'db' failed: The specified version 'none' is not valid.

Not sure why you see that... what you should see is:

$ port select --set db none
Selecting 'none' for 'db' failed: The specified group 'db' does not exist.

The fact that for you the db group still exists suggests you have old versions of db_select or one or more of the BerkeleyDB ports installed and active.

The select thing did not even notice that db48 was forcibly uninstalled.

That's always been true: if you uninstall the version of the thing that you had selected, the symlinks port select had created will then be broken. I thought we had a ticket for that but I can't find it. We could improve this by either 1) preventing you from uninstalling something you had selected, or 2) causing the thing you had selected to become unselected automatically when you uninstall it. #43996 may be another way we could fix this.

As was said earlier, the latest version of the db_select port (from two years ago) automatically removes any symlinks that using port select db ... left behind. So if you have db_select @0.1_3 installed but somehow still have those symlinks, you could remove them by re-installing db_select to get it to run its automatic cleanup again (sudo port -n upgrade --force db_select). Once it's cleaned up, you can uninstall db_select.

I tried to invoke that command. Before I had deactivated and uninstalled both db46 and 48:

It worked to build and install db48 witch Clang 3.7 instead Clang 3.9 (I wonder why GCC isn't used, is it too reliable?). I then added

 51 configure.ldflags-append -t

As you can see, on the command line db48 is visible, but Clang 3.9 is so clever as some MS Windows tool and includes /opt/local/include/db48/db.h. One more Clang bug, isn't it?

BTW, by including opt/local/include/db48/db.h the macros DB_VERSION_MAJOR, DB_VERSION_MINOR, and DB_VERSION_PATCH get #defined as 4, 8, and 30 respectively. In /opt/local/include/db46/db.h we can find:

ok. so maybe that happened when you had db48 'selected'. Can you try removing your apr-util port and re-building it. If it's still linking with db48 we need to figure out why (and fix the apr-util port).

Subversion now built.

Uninstalling and installing db_select did not change anything.Success came when I manually removed the whole /opt/local/etc/select/db branch. It still does not exist although db_select is installed.

That's correct, db_select only exists now to help cleanup after the prior existence of port select for the dbXX ports. You can feel free to uninstall it.
