mariadb-*-server: Unable to build on 10.11: fatal error: 'bcon.h' file not found

[mav2287 (James)]

When building Mariadb-10.5 server on OS X 10.11.6 (15G22010) I get the following errors:

Error: Failed to build mariadb-10.5: command execution failed
Error: See /opt/local/var/macports/logs/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_macports_release_tarballs_ports_databases_mariadb-10.5/mariadb-10.5/main.log for details.
Error: Follow https://guide.macports.org/#project.tickets to report a bug.
Error: Processing of port mariadb-10.5-server failed

When I do tail 20 on the referenced log file I get this:

I am getting similar errors with Mariadb 10.2 10.3 and 10.4 as well.

Please attach the full (compressed) main.log file so that we can see what happened.

[mav2287 (James)]

Just attached. Wasn't sure if you would need it.

Might be another stealth dependency? Let me boot my macOS 10.11 build system & see what happens there.

[mav2287 (James)]

Just attached the log file from Mariadb 10.2 on the same Xserve running 10.11 and it also won't build 10.2 either. I did a quick search of the log and found the same 'bcon.h' file not found error that is in the 10.5 log. I attached the full log for that as well. If needed I can try to compile Mariadb 10.3 and 10.4 on that same machine and upload those logs as well, but since 10.2 and 10.5 produce the same issues I am guessing 10.3 and 10.4 will too.

[michaelld (Michael Dickens)]

Thanks for keeping on this! I'm updating my 10.11 boot ... still have a bunch of GCC ports to go -- which take a LONG time -- so it'll be tomorrow before I can be building any mariadb ports for testing for this ticket. I will note that I have mariadb 10.2 and 10.3 installed already ... so, sometime in the past this was doable!

[mav2287 (James)]

Not a problem, just glad I can help. Mac Ports is what makes sure my 3,1 Xserve is still useful and gets to keep working!

Yes, this was working fine in the past. I have the following versions of Mariadb installed and working: mariadb @5.5.68_0 (active) mariadb-10.2 @10.2.30_1 (active) mariadb-10.2-server @10.2.30_0 (active). I try to run port updates at least once a month and about 3 months ago I ran "port upgrade outdated" and that was when Mariadb's build failed. I opened ticket #60805 when it happened and I was hoping the Clang fix would do it, but then I ran into this new issue a few days ago.

My Xserve is a semi-production server so if you need me to try building MariaDB on it I can do it in the evenings and upload the log if it fails. Once Mariadb will build again I am going to install all the Mariadb 10.X versions on this Xserve so in the future if there is a build issue on 10.11 I will catch it when I am doing updates.

[kencu (Ken)]

do you have some mariadb variant set? Those are rarely tested -- we should start getting rid of most variants, to be honest; they are rarely tested and so cause much trouble for people.

[michaelld (Michael Dickens)]

I got through all of the LLVM / Clang ports, then updated all of the non-*GCC* ports. Then, I was able to build mariadb-10.5 straight up, no errors. No variants ... so, yes, variants might be important. This also might be related to the opportunistic finding / using of various features ...

[mav2287 (James)]

Not sure what you mean by Mariadb variant. 10.2 was installed with "port install Mariadb-10.2-Server". With the issues with the other install I tried the exact same thing "port install mariadb-10.5-server" and it gave the same error. I also attached a file with all the ports I have installed on this server in case that helps.

[kencu (Ken)]

Replying to mav2287:

Not sure what you mean by Mariadb variant.

variants are alternate builds of a port. You don't have many, I see, which is very good. They look like this xorg-xcb-proto @1.14_0+python37.

10.2 was installed with "port install Mariadb-10.2-Server".

Please try using "trace" mode, using the -t flag, which blocks most opportunistic finding issues:

sudo port -v -t install Mariadb-10.2-Server

[michaelld (Michael Dickens)]

Ah ... OK ... the "server" version rather than the "client" version. That's a totally different story!
