gimp2 @2.10.36_1+python27: ld: Undefined symbols: Imf_3_1::Chromaticities::Chromaticities

[fmw42 (Fred Weinhaus)]

I am trying to upgrade GIMP2 on my M1 Mac mini OSX Ventura. But I get messages in the log that it fails to find gimp-2.10.36.tar.bz2,

:debug:archivefetch euid/egid changed to: 502/501

This may be related to Ticket #68044

Is there a work around?

Thanks

The real error in the log is:

:info:build ld: Undefined symbols:
:info:build   Imf_3_1::Chromaticities::Chromaticities(Imath_2_3::Vec2<float> const&, Imath_2_3::Vec2<float> const&, Imath_2_3::Vec2<float> const&, Imath_2_3::Vec2<float> const&), referenced from:
:info:build       _EXRLoader::getProfile() const in openexr-wrapper.o
:info:build clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)

#68044 contains no information about what the problem was, except that it occurred at configure time. Your issue occurred at build time so it is not the same.

No, you don't. You get messages that it failed to find gimp2-2.10.36_1+python27.darwin_22.arm64.tbz2, which is not a bug; see #68869. After failing to locate that file, it then successfully fetched gimp-2.10.36.tar.bz2, extracted it, and tried to build it from source, which is what failed and what we now need to investigate.

Any update or time estimate when this might be fixed. I am dead in the water with my Python/OpenCV and I need to be able to use those tools. Or perhaps is there a work around to build the Python/OpenCV ports ( py39-opencv4 @4.6.0_2 +contrib +readline) without the need for GIMP2

[fmw42 (Fred Weinhaus)]

Please can someone help me? Is there any workaround to get py39-opencv4 to compile without dealing with this GIMP2 issue?

[fmw42 (Fred Weinhaus)]

I updated MacPorts today and then tried to install py39-openc4. I did not get the above error message. However, the install failed because it could not build opencv4. I have opened a new ticket for that error. So perhaps this ticket can be closed if that seems appropriate.

[fmw42 (Fred Weinhaus)]

I tried installing GIMP2 again today (2/27/2024), but it failed again.

Sorry I pressed the wrong link (Modify Ticket) thinking I could add the log file.

Has duplicate #69970.

See also #69381 (by the same reporter) for a similar error when building opencv4.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Fred, now that you have uninstalled and reinstalled your ports and the problem no longer happens with opencv4, are you able to build gimp2 as well?

I have not tried. Would it still be useful for me to report that? If so, I will try again.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Yes. It would let us know if this ticket was caused by the same as yet unidentified problem as your other ticket. We also have another user who filed duplicate #69970 experiencing the same issue who is still looking for the solution. We would still like to understand what the problem was so that we can prevent it from happening to others.

[fmw42 (Fred Weinhaus)]

I tried to install again, but it failed. So I cleaned gimp2 port and tried again. This time it worked. This is the same method as I got py312-opencv4 to install in ​https://trac.macports.org/ticket/69381. See uploaded gimp2 install file.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Yes, that's not unexpected. You need to clean before trying again so that the configure phase can run again and analyze the current state of your libraries. If you don't do that, you're just continuing a build that had analyzed the previous evidently broken state of your libraries so the build would continue to fail.

I'll do some more troubleshooting with Ooolab in #69970 rather than mix it into this ticket.

Great, glad the issue is resolved!
