The log complains about a missing header.

Attaching my log…

[ctreleaven (Craig Treleaven)]

gpac was updated to version 0.7.1 before the report was filed. Are you trying to install the prior version? Run 'sudo port selfupdate' if you wish to install the latest version.

​https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/commits/master/multimedia/gpac/Portfile

Which version of OS X are you running? It appears that there are prebuilt binary packages for gpac 0.7.1 supporting 10.8 through 10.13.

Yes, my bad... It's 0.7.1, like in the 1st codeblock of hte description. Sorry.

10.7.5. My prefs are set to build from source.

Thanks for looking at it. +1

VideoToolBox is 10.8+

<​https://developer.apple.com/documentation/videotoolbox>

maybe you can build gpac without it. Otherwise out of luck.

[ctreleaven (Craig Treleaven)]

Ahh, the release notes show that VideoToolBox support was added in v 0.7.0:

"Apple VideoToolBox hardware decoding support for OSX and iOS for AVC|H264."

​https://github.com/gpac/gpac/releases

I've looked through configure but there does not appear to be an option to disable it. If upstream will make it a configurable option or simply disable for OS X < 10.8, we can update the portfile.

[ctreleaven (Craig Treleaven)]

In b414dfe8658325a8721885f2f6b5c878e06933b3/macports-ports (master):

gpac: 10.8 or later, no more self conflict

Closing current ticket, open a new ticket if upstream provides support

Closes: #56408

Perhaps a patch to unpatch it?

If not, what's the best way to go on with my installed version? There's no mute function, except adding “and not ...” everytime I upgrade. I have MP4Joiner installed, with `gpac' as its dependency. Alternative software?

See <​https://guide.macports.org/chunked/development.local-repositories.html>.

I have a collection of "pegged ports" for Lion (the last versions that worked on Lion) in a Local Repository that is set up for this. <​https://github.com/kencu/LionPorts> You can use it as a starting point, or if you're willing, contribute to is as well, as everyone who uses Lion could use it.

IF there is sufficient interest, there can be two versions maintained in the Portfile -- this is possible, but it's a confusing PITA to maintain, and not many maintainers are willing to do this for long, in the end.

Thanks! I'll have a look at it. I already have a couple of local Portfiles, but no pegged ones.

But that's really interesting - and poedit just cut off everyone "< 10.10" (​see 1st comment). So, that's another pegged one.

Ryan, this ticket is still closed. Was that your intention?
