augeas @ 1.11.0 installation fails Snow Leopard

[jkorchok]

XCode 3.2.6 as recommended in the MacPorts FAQ. While installing Certbot, the Augeas dependency failed while building examples:

Hmm, it built fine on our Snow Leopard buildbot worker and also on my Snow Leopard machine. Can you attach your main.log file so that we can see what's different on your system?

Ah, you're building for 32-bit. I ​see that we haven't been able to build augeas 1.10.0 or later for 32-bit either (though earlier versions did). I haven't investigated further. It's probably an ​upstream bug.

[jkorchok]

Would forcing augeas to install get around this? It just appears to be failing while building examples, which I don't need.

If I install 64-bit, do all ports have to be 64-bit? Can I run 64-bit ports on a 32-bit OS?

It looks like it's an i386 specific thing <​https://lists.apple.com/archives/xcode-users/2007/Oct/msg00512.html>.

One option that appears to work is to not build the examples ( :> )

in Makefile.am, change

SUBDIRS += tests man doc examples

to

SUBDIRS += tests man doc

and have the port use_autoreconf yes

That builds it +universal for me.

Whether that's an acceptable option for the Portfile remains to be seen.

For the original poster, if you want to do this:

you would

bbedit `port file augeas`

and add the following line right above the post-destroot block:

use_autoreconf          yes

then

sudo port -v extract augeas
cd `port work augeas`
cd a*
bbedit Makefile.am

delete the "examples" word in the SUBDIRS line as above, save the file.

and then

cd /
sudo port -v install augeas

and if it works like mine did, it's going to install.

We can ask Ryan if he accepts this into the Portfile, and if so, it's a one-second patch and one line to the Portfile (but then everyone has to autoreconf and nobody builds examples, not that I suspect anyone would care).
