gstreamer1-gst-plugins-good +qt: build failure on macOS 13

[ShadSterling (Shad Sterling)]

Build failed while reinstalling all ports after upgrading to Ventura

The problem seems to be that macro g_once_init_enter is receiving a volatile parameter

:info:build gstqsgtexture.cc:42:7: error: cannot initialize a parameter of type 'unsigned long *' with an rvalue of type 'typename std::remove_reference<decltype(*(&_debug))>::type *' (aka 'volatile unsigned long *')
:info:build   if (g_once_init_enter (&_debug)) {
:info:build       ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I am encountering the same compiler error on Monterey.
gstreamer1-gst-plugins-good @1.16.2_4 +gtk3+pulseaudio+qt
macOS 12.6.2 21G320
Xcode 14.2 14C18

It appears that the issue was fixed upstream in 2021 as part of the fix for ​https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gst-plugins-good/-/issues/868 and the fix is available in 1.18.5 and later stable versions. The current stable version is 1.20.5. MacPorts is using version 1.16.2 from 2019.

all the gstreamer* ports are at 1.22.0 now, but they've all changed to meson.

SO the existing portfiles will all have to be rewritten to build as meson.

No doubt that is why they've been left where they are, but someone will need to take on that task sooner or later.

Has duplicate #67224.

The same had happened on macOS 12

[thomasleaute]

Still reproducible on macOS Sonoma 14.0 (23A344) with Xcode 15.0 (15A240d).

[thomasleaute]

Still reproducible in macOS Sonoma 14.2 (23C64) with Xcode 15.1 (15C65).

[thomasleaute]

No longer reproducible in macOS Sonoma 14.4.1 (23E224) with Xcode 15.3 (15E204a).

Now, it is gstreamer1-gst-plugins-bad that is failing, still blocking the compilation of Gnucash.

gstreamer1-gst-plugins-bad still fails to build in Sonoma 14.5 (23F79) on Intel with Xcode 15.3 (15E204a).
