gimp 2.10.10 link issues on Leopard

[rmottola (Riccardo)]

I had gimp 2.10.8 compiling and working with some patches. Now we have 2.10.10 it needs a patch I apply, pretty trivial, transform a runtime ind compile time detection. ​https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp/issues/3292

However, linking fails for me then with a new error with linking and I do not know where it comes from, any clues? It looks that some command/operand is missing and thus missing in the pipe command.

This is on Leopard, Lion built fail - the compile error is also on 10.6.8 (I propose to insert the patch until upstream accepts it)

That error occurs when NM is too old. You need to force the newer one from cctools.

[mf2k (Frank Schima)]

In the future, please add the port maintainer(s) to Cc (port info --maintainers gimp2), if any.

[rmottola (Riccardo)]

how can I force it? does it need to be done in the recipe or can I do it from the command line to see if my patches are enough and gimp builds/works with them.

[kencu (Ken)]

usually you set a configure and/or build env variable for NM, just like you would for CXX.

for autotools you can set one of those ac_cv_xxxx env vars they use, which you find in the configure log after your failed build attempt.

cmake and qmake are different; you pass it in as a configure arg or similar.

for some builds, you need to patch the Makefile or configure script.

for your own machine "right now" you can symlink the newer one into the old one's location, but save the old one and undo it after your test and fix it properly or nobody will be able to reproduce your build.

I think gimp uses autotools, so that is generally fairly directable.

[rmottola (Riccardo)]

I added this to my Portfile (the NM part):

configure.env       CC_FOR_BUILD=${configure.cc} \
                    NM=/opt/local/bin/nm

and it built (together with a small patch)

However, I need to force clang as a compiler. GCC 6, which would be selected by default, has an issue with code because std99 is not enabled, so "int i" inside the for declaration is not accepted. So either you enable it somehow... or try clang which probably enables it by default.

Riccardo, is this still an issue?

If this is still relevant, please reopen.
