cppzmq @4.6.0_0: Error: Failed to configure cppzmq

[brislawn]

Looks like possibly a cmake problem; logfile attached. This makes no sense since I apparently already have the latest version activated:

bash-3.2# port upgrade outdated
--->  Computing dependencies for cppzmq
--->  Configuring cppzmq
Error: Failed to configure cppzmq: configure failure: command execution failed
Error: See /opt/macports/var/macports/logs/_opt_macports_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_macports_release_tarballs_ports_devel_cppzmq/cppzmq/main.log for details.

bash-3.2# port installed cmake

  cmake @3.18.0_1+docs+python37 (active)
bash-3.2# port installed cppzmq
The following ports are currently installed:
  cppzmq @4.6.0_0 (active)

Appreciate any insights anyone can offer. Thanks,

Very odd ... the configure log should look more like:

:info:configure -- Detected CPPZMQ Version - 4.6.0
:info:configure -- The C compiler identification is AppleClang 10.0.1.10010046
:info:configure -- The CXX compiler identification is AppleClang 10.0.1.10010046

:info:configure -- cppzmq v4.6.0

In your log, it's just

:info:configure -- Detected CPPZMQ Version - 4.6.0
:info:configure -- cppzmq v4.6.0

Maybe the Xcode commandline tools are not installed correctly?

BTW> my log is from doing "sudo port build cppzmq" when the same cppzmq was installed and active ... it should work, if a compiler is found ...

[michaelld (Michael Dickens)]

Maybe try reinstalling the Xcode commandline tools? < ​https://trac.macports.org/wiki/ProblemHotlist#reinstall-clt >

[brislawn]

No banana.

Background: I upgraded to OSX 10.15.6 recently and upgraded XCode to 11.6 using the Software Update tool. When I then tried to run the usual xcode-select --install, I got a message saying that the command line tools were *already* installed. The port command hasn't complained about the command line tools since the upgrade, so I figured they had survived the OS upgrade (as had the previous version of XCode).

On your advice I downloaded CLT 11.5 (the latest stable release) from developer.apple.com and installed it successfully. Software Update now says I can upgrade to CLT beta 3 for XCode 12.0, but I haven't done that (yet) since it makes me nervous. Now when I clean cppzmq and upgrade outdated the configure log for cppzmq looks like yours, then it crashes on the same cmake error as before.

The new logfile (attached) is now much shorter than before, however. The :info:configure text you quoted was present previously, but earlier on in the logfile. Now that text appears at the end of the (shorter) logfile. Followed by a cmake error.

Thoughts?

Thanks,

new logfile

OK ... so I did some traceback and what I'll do is disable testing by default. That should solve the issue here. I can always enable testing for my specific install.

cppzmq: disable building tests by default

Re: #60918

[michaelld (Michael Dickens)]

Please do a "sync" or "selfupdate" and then "clean cppzmq" and then try again. Hopefully this time it will work.

[michaelld (Michael Dickens)]

Just FYI that I'm pretty sure the issue really was that CMake was not able to download the "Catch" project, and hence the CMake commands provided by it were not available. Probably be a networking issue on your end ... maybe a firewall that isn't allowing the download, or some system setting that's blocking the download ... I really don't know. Since we don't actually use the testing for anything, my tweak here just disables it, which in turn should both disable this spurious download as well as speed up the install.

Looks like it's working now. I did a port selfupdate and

Thanks for your quick help with this! You can close the ticket on it.

As for the ultimate (cmake?) source of the problem, while I am indeed running macports port through a VPN tunnel to my firewalled office network (because that's how my macports proxy settings are configured), I was able to install cppzmq from that same network some months back as part of a gnuradio 3.7 installation. I just don't understand why macports was trying to *reinstall* cppzmq even though cppzmq @4.6.0_0 was already active in my setup (I'm installing these ports on a MBP).

Now I get to see whether I can upgrade to gnuradio 3.8....

Thanks again,

-Chris

I'm glad that works! You'll note that this port is now cppzmq @4.6.0_1, not cppzmq @4.6.0_0 ... so, there's been a rev-bump since you last installed it ... I think this was to make sure to use a C++11 compliant compiler ... which might not be needed now ... hmmm ... anyway, I'll close out this ticket & I hope your GR install goes smoothly!
