BUG: GD2 and fontconfig port problems

[pedro.custodio@…]

I'm having quite a lot of trouble installing GD2 on my Intel macbook pro... during the install of the GD2 port, it fails because of the fontconfig and once I try to installed it via its own port, I get the following error:

--->  Building fontconfig with target all

I have the latest XCode tools and DarwinPorts and gcc 4.0.1... and since I've managed without problems to install on a another mac intel, I'm wondering if its due to any other pre-installed port...

currently my port installed list has the following items:

Hi, i've got the same Problems on a PowerBook G4 (Tiger 10.4.10, XCode 2.4.1, GCC 4.0.1) I'm on version 1.5 of MacPorts some time ago it compiled on this mac but don't know what version...

my installed Ports are: bison @2.3 devel/bison bzip2 @1.0.4 archivers/bzip2 expat @2.0.1 textproc/expat freetype @2.3.5 print/freetype gettext @0.16.1 devel/gettext gnupg @1.4.7 mail/gnupg gpgme @1.1.4 devel/gpgme jpeg @6b graphics/jpeg libassuan @1.0.1 devel/libassuan libgcrypt @1.2.4 devel/libgcrypt libgpg-error @1.5 devel/libgpg-error libiconv @1.11 textproc/libiconv libksba @1.0.1 devel/libksba libpcap @0.9.5 net/libpcap libpng @1.2.18 graphics/libpng lynx @2.8.6rel.5 www/lynx m4 @1.4.9 devel/m4 ncftp @3.2.0 net/ncftp ncurses @5.6 devel/ncurses ncursesw @5.6 devel/ncursesw nmap @4.20 net/nmap openssl @0.9.8e devel/openssl p7zip @4.47 archivers/p7zip pcre @7.1 devel/pcre pinentry @0.7.2 security/pinentry pth @2.0.6 devel/pth readline @5.2.001 devel/readline wget @1.10.2 net/wget zlib @1.2.3 archivers/zlib

I've also experienced this problem when I wanted to upgrade fontconfig when port reported it as outdated:

fontconfig                     2.4.2_0 < 2.4.2_1

The package would fail to compile:

Error: Target org.macports.build returned: shell command " cd "/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_por
ts_graphics_fontconfig/work/fontconfig-2.4.2" && make all " returned error 2
Command output: fcaliastail.h:508:2: error: #endif without #if
fcaliastail.h:510: error: only weak aliases are supported in this configuration

fcaliastail.h:543: error: only weak aliases are supported in this configuration
fcaliastail.h:544:2: error: #endif without #if

make[3]: *** [fcatomic.lo] Error 1
make[2]: *** [all] Error 2
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make: *** [all] Error 2

I eventually tracked it down to a missing dependency on libxml2:

horus:/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_graphics_fontconfig/work/fontconfig-2.4.2 root# ./configure

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables LIBXML2_CFLAGS
and LIBXML2_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.

I searched for libxml and installed libxml2:

horus:~ root# port install libxml2

After cleaning fontconfig it successfully build again:

Sebastiaan ​discovered that his real problem was an outdated expat. After upgrading expat, his fontconfig built just fine. Will the other people experiencing this problem in this bug please test whether the solution listed there helps them too, and report back here?

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

I'm going to assume that this problem got resolved for the people reporting it in this ticket. But I don't think the cause was anything thus far discussed in this ticket. See #14102 for the real culprit.
