lablgtk2 @2.18.9: error: use of undeclared identifier 'caml_young_end'

[bestlem]

On macOS 11.2 and macports 2.6.4 this fails to compile.

It looks like it is looking for macOS 11.0 SDK which don't exist. I do get the warning

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'.

But I have done all the steps and a manual install of the command line tools

Log of failed build

[mf2k (Frank Schima)]

In the future, please add the port maintainer(s) to Cc (port info --maintainers lablgtk2), if any.

[pmetzger (Perry E. Metzger)]

I strongly suspect it's going to take some time to make lablgtk work correctly again.

For the original poster, what is the package you need lablgtk working with? Is it okay if lablgtk3 is made to work and not the gtk2 version?

[jmroot (Joshua Root)]

The issue appears to be that ocaml is recording the SDK it was built against and trying to use that exact SDK to compile other things.

[bestlem]

In general I am not using ocaml directly and wanted it for a minor end program I can live without so for me it is not a high priority problem.

But I dod a bit more digging

I was trying to build mldonkey (which probably has other issues #62014) so fixing this probably won't be the only thing. mldonkey does have an issue to move it to gtk3 but I suspect noone is working on it.

Both lablgtk and mldonkey have later builds and from ​https://github.com/ocaml/opam-repository/issues/14718#issuecomment-558198350 the lablgtk developer develops using macports

Making mldonkey a web only build might be quicker (#27386) and the best way for that.

However given jmroot's comment will all ocaml builds will have this problem - if so that might be worth fixing.

I have no idea what that means?

[kencu (Ken)]

This:

clang: warning: no such sysroot directory: '/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/SDKs/MacOSX11.0.sdk' [-Wmissing-sysroot]

somewhere, somehow, this was recorded in a build script somewhere but it no longer exists:

MacOSX11.0.sdk

[pmetzger (Perry E. Metzger)]

Perhaps I don't notice such things because I build from source, but generally, that would be the least of the things broken with the lablgtk2 port. It's way way out of date, and it isn't clear that that version of lablgtk is really being seriously maintained any more either, though there's much newer available.

[pmetzger (Perry E. Metzger)]

BTW, it's not impossible that OCaml is recording the SDK it was built against but I would find that surprising. I can check if that's true.

[bestlem]

Looking again I note that thius does build under BigSur - but under Homebrew As per recent issue upsteam ​https://github.com/garrigue/lablgtk/issues/120 The maintainer says it does work and he uses macports (but as a guess not for the ocaml bits)

Thus it is still maintained

I have a newer log after selfupdate (attached) - still I think the same error

It looks like macports ocamlc.opt is injecting -isysroot into the C compilation

The upstream build instructions use ocaml's dune to build. I tried macports' ocaml-dune but that failed with the same error. SO I think the issue is with our ocaml stack.

As I don't know ocaml I can't look further

Updated log

[bestlem]

And today's work was done after a port selfupdate - but that one just missed ​https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/commit/aa180331953d6c92044553666d74a70b9bc4f4e1 - so another selfupdate

So have another log with different errors

[bestlem]

And I think it is just now needed to use the latest version 2.18.11 (the app I wanted still has other issues as expected so I have not actually run lablgtk2 yet)

The checksums are

Maybe it is solved by the recent update(s) of lablgtk2 to 2.18.11? (See ​https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/12436 and ​https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/12472).

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Does this problem still happen with lablgtk2 @2.18.11?

Replying to ryandesign:
