postgis3 @3.0.3: configure failure: could not find GDAL headers

[conradwt (Conrad Taylor)]

When executing,

sudo port install postgis3

I'm getting the following error:

Failed to configure postgis3: configure failure: command execution failed

Also, I'm attaching the complete file for reference.

Please also attach the config.log.

I have the same problem, so I also uploaded my main.log and confirmation.log. Updated yesterday to Mac OS Big Sur v11.2.2 and tried to reinstall all my ports.

Possibly related may be a configuration issue that I am having, MacPorts warns that Mac OS 11.2 SDK is not installed:

    Warning: The macOS 11.2 SDK does not appear to be installed. Ports may not build correctly.
    Warning: You can install it as part of the Xcode Command Line Tools package by running `xcode-select --install'.

However version 11.2 of the MacOS SDK does not exist (or is never released); Xcode 12.4 Command Line Tools installs Mac OS 11.1, and Xcode 12.5 Beta 3 (Latest) installs Mac OS SDK 11.3

Did you solve that or is it still an issue?

Looks like it's still an issue, see also: ​https://trac.macports.org/ticket/59233 ("postgis2").

Same error for "postgis2" AND "postgis3".

On a clean install of MacPorts-2.6.4_1-11-BigSur on macOS Big Sur 11.2.3, trying to install "postgis3" fails. XCode version is 12.4. I'm also getting the (incorrect) message:

Warning: The macOS 11.2 SDK does not appear to be installed. Ports may not build correctly.
Warning: You can install it as part of the Xcode Command Line Tools package by running `xcode-select --install'.

Looks like a problem with "GDAL" according to: /opt/local/var/macports/logs/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_macports_release_tarballs_ports_databases_postgis3/postgis3/main.log

Same problem here.

In config.log, I found the following error:

clang: warning: no such sysroot directory: '/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/SDKs/MacOSX11.0.sdk' [-Wmissing-sysroot]
ld: library not found for -lSystem
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)

So I ran the following commands:

cd /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/SDKs
sudo ln -s MacOSX11.3.sdk MacOSX11.0.sdk

And the build succeeded.

Outdated tickets.
