#59519 closed defect (fixed)

evince: error: expected ';' at end of declaration list

Reported by: joshupetersen (Joshua Petersen) Owned by: dbevans (David B. Evans)
Priority: Normal Milestone:
Component: ports Version: 2.6.2
Keywords: Cc:
Port: evince

Description

When running

sudo port install gnome

gets the error:

Error: Failed to build evince: command execution failed.

Looking in main.log for evince, I found the following:

....

(More errors came later of a similar nature)

I've seen a similar ticket (NOT A DUPLICATE) for another port, specifically qscintilla, but it looks like it could have a very similar solution:

#53625

Port: evince added; gnome removed
Status: newassigned
Summary: When building gnome, error in evince, likely compiler versionevince: error: expected ';' at end of declaration list

#53625 is a years-old ticket. But what has happened recently is that icu (which is the port that installed the file /opt/local/include/unicode/localpointer.h) was updated to a new version that requires C++11. Because of this, many ports that require icu now have to require C++11 as well. evince doesn't use icu (at least, it doesn't declare a dependency on it), but it does use libxml2, which uses icu, and that may be enough to impose the C++11 requirement on evince. We have seen such problems with other ports since the icu update.

Same problem here. It seems that this problem is popping up all over the place with other ports. Any short-time fix while waiting for the updated port?

an easy thing to try is to build it with a compiler that defaults to >= -std=c++11, eg:

sudo port -v install clang-9.0
sudo port -v install evince configure.compiler=macports-clang-9.0

Replying to kencu:

an easy thing to try is to build it with a compiler that defaults to >= -std=c++11, eg:

sudo port -v install clang-9.0
sudo port -v install evince configure.compiler=macports-clang-9.0

Thanks, that worked.

Resolution: fixed
Status: assignedclosed

In 134cb9c9d05ee6e044dc330204d9dc33ee495f73/macports-ports (master):

libxml2: update to 2.9.10

Also, don't expose the ICU C++ API via libxml/encoding.h if the C++
version is too old.
