wxMaxima @24.01.0: Module loading error: Can't locate Syntax/Keyword/Try.pm in @INC

[odysseus9672 (Sean Lake)]

Attempting to update wxMaxima the build fails. The build log is a little complicated, so I cannot locate the error. I have attached the log.

Looks like the error is:

po4a::chooser: Module loading error: Can't locate Syntax/Keyword/Try.pm in @INC (you may need to install the Syntax::Keyword::Try module) (@INC contains: /opt/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.34/darwin-thread-multi-2level /opt/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.34 /opt/local/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.34/darwin-thread-multi-2level /opt/local/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.34 /opt/local/lib/perl5/5.34/darwin-thread-multi-2level /opt/local/lib/perl5/5.34) at /opt/local/lib/perl5/5.34/Locale/Po4a/Text.pm line 61.

...so maybe the issue is actually with the po4a port instead, then?

Also, see this issue in the upstream wxMaxima repo: ​https://github.com/wxMaxima-developers/wxmaxima/issues/1899

...oh, and one more note: trace mode successfully works around this issue; here's some relevant trace mode output from the configure step:

(...I'm not seeing anything about po4a, though?)

@odysseus9672: thanks for reporting! Apparently you already have the po4a port installed. Did you try manually installing "sudo port install p5.34-syntax-keyword-try"?

@ryandesign: shouldn't we add po4a as dependency to the wxMaxima port file - in addition to reporting the missing dependency in po4a?

I don't know anything about wxMaxima or po4a, so I can only answer based on the log in this ticket, which says:

:info:configure -- Found po4a-translate: /opt/local/bin/po4a-translate (found version "0.69")

and then goes on to use po4a-translate. So yes, either the po4a dependency should be added or the build should be instructed not to use po4a even if it exists.

When I try to manually run sudo port install p5.34-syntax-keyword-try the process fails. The failure part of the output reads:

I will attach the webkit2-gtk build log.

From looking at your log, I see:

:info:configure CMake Error at Source/cmake/GStreamerChecks.cmake:34 (message):
:info:configure   GStreamerGL is needed for USE_GSTREAMER_GL.

...which looks like ticket #69640. I don't see webkit2-gtk among p5.34-syntax-keyword-try's dependencies, though, are you sure it's not just rev-upgrade marking it as broken as happened in the other ticket?

[odysseus9672 (Sean Lake)]

I just assumed that because the sudo port install p5.34-syntax-keyword-try command ended with an error that it failed. wxMaxima builds now, so it worked. And you're right, MacPorts now says, The following ports will be rebuilt: webkit2-gtk @2.28.2+minibrowser+x11.

I btw. don't have po4a or p5.34-syntax-keyword-try or webkit2-gtk installed. It may be that wxmaxima build uses PO tools when they are there - and then expects that they work - but it doesn't requires it since I can build wxmaxima without it. This would anyway be strange since po4a is a tool for translation maintenance. So maybe it helps if you uninstall po4a.

This doesn't appear to be an issue with wxmaxima. As far as I can see wxmaxima can live with a working po4a or no po4a at all but not with a broken po4a - and this is IMHO reasonable behavior.
