inkscape @0.92.5_2+x11 build failure due to incorrect libiconv

[delphym (DelphyM)]

Hi there, after a while I performed sudo port selfupdate; sudo port upgrade outdated The process ended up with a few warnings and failure to install inkscape port. Following the documentation about port installation process (​https://guide.macports.org/#using.port.install) I repeated the installation process:

1. sudo port clean inkscape
2. sudo port -t install inkscape

which failed again, so I'm providing the main.log from the install process.

Seems to be finding libiconv (and zlib) in the SDK rather than in $prefix.

[kencu (Ken)]

looks like in CMakeScripts/Modules/FindIconv.cmake they do a test compile without taking into account MacPorts' paths and libs, and so they find the system libiconv instead of MacPorts' version.

Probably just have to set them ICONV_INCLUDE_DIR AND ICONV_LIBRARIES

[kencu (Ken)]

This worked:

configure.args-append \
    -DICONV_INCLUDE_DIR=${prefix}/include \
    -DICONV_LIBRARIES=${prefix}/lib/libiconv.dylib

I guess we need to do the same for libz too

[kencu (Ken)]

Michael pushed a fix for cmake that was to fix all these ports at once; hopefully that will fix this one.

[delphym (DelphyM)]

Thanks for update.

FYI: It was not clear to me if the fix has been available for normal users or not, so I've tried to perform classic macport update running those commands sudo port selfupdate; sudo port upgrade outdated.

Unfortunately the results are still the same.

Let me know how could I verify the fix. Many thanks in advance, -d

[kencu (Ken)]

My apologies that it seems to be taking a bit longer than expected.

If you do this (or use your favourite editor):

bbedit `port file inkscape`

and on line 90, right below the existing configure.args block, paste this:

configure.args-append \
    -DICONV_INCLUDE_DIR=${prefix}/include \
    -DICONV_LIBRARIES=${prefix}/lib/libiconv.dylib

Then save, and install inkscape

sudo port -v install inkscape

I believe you will find success, as it worked for me.

A proper fix should be coming shortly.

The fix was supposed to have been bc5236adc362f024aebd41ca198130bc40db49d0/macports-ports, wasn't it?

[kencu (Ken)]

yes, hopefully that cmake fix will do it, now that it's in...

Replying to kencu:

Worked like a magic! Many thanks for that and sorry it took me a while to verify the fix.

Hopefully yes, but how I would find it out? Sorry for asking those silly questions, but really don't have any idea.

Since this port has now been updated to 1.1.2, please let us know if this is still an issue.

If so, we'll reopen.
