error installing evolution-data-server on 10.4

[palixath@…]

Hi I'm currently trying to install Glade (Mac os Tiger) but I got an error which stopped the install process.

As I am not familiar with Unix and Macports, do you know how could I fix this ?

[blb@…]

I believe this is an issue with the older bash found on 10.4 not handling the += construct; it's affected several other ports but I don't recall which.

[jim@…]

@blb: Thanks for the tip. I would never have started looking there. Any good tricks for simulating this without access to Tiger/10.4?

@palixath: I'll try to get a look at this in the next few days. Hectic week, tho, so no promises before the weekend.

[blb@…]

I believe the fix used in r46819 should work here as well. Not sure of how to test it on 10.5 though.

[palixath@…]

Replying to blb@…:

I believe the fix used in r46819 should work here as well. Not sure of how to test it on 10.5 though.

I tried the fix but I don't have the same file, I modified the ../xorg-libX11/Profile and add the patch-dolt.diff but I couldn't find the same file as written on ​http://trac.macports.org/changeset/46819 => trunk/dports/graphics/cairo/files/patch-dolt.diff

Actually I don't even have the same path mine is /opt/local/var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/release/ports/x11/xorg-libX11/

I think that is normal since dports became macports, but the file that I found in /graphics/cairo/files/ was patch-quartz-lp64.diff and it is completely different from the file that I am supposed to copy for patch-dolt.diff

[blb@…]

Note that the patch file is no longer with xorg-libX11 since they appear to have fixed the issue upstream with the 1.2 release; you can get it from the actual changeset however.

[jim@…]

Patch which adds patchfile to e-d-s/files and patches e-d-s/Portfile to incorporate it.

[jim@…]

What I love about maintaining a port -- you meet the most interesting packages. ;]

I'm pretty sure I've found the breakage. e-d-s uses ​dolt as a dropin replacement for the more inefficient libtool. Unfortunately, rather than just include dolt.m4 in ./acinclude.m4, someone cut-and-pasted a non-Tiger-friendly version directly into it.

Here's what I fixed:

--- acinclude.m4.orig	2009-05-03 07:55:03.000000000 -0700

Ironically, the configure script runs a test earlier which checks to see if the shell can append; the version of dolt in acinclude.m4 doesn't take advantage of knowing that. ;p

@palixath: could you have a look and see if the above patch fixes things for you? If so, I'll ask one of the committers to apply the patchfile I've attached to this ticket.

Cheers!

Hey guys

Thank you for your help ! I tried your patch but it didn't work, here what I got on the screen :

[jim@…]

Hmmm. I'm guessing from the /opt/local/var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/release/ports/ bit that you're working with the main Portfile directly, yes?

Could you try doing this?

cd /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_gnome_evolution-data-server/work/evolution-data-server-2.26.2
patch -p0 < /opt/local/var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/release/ports/gnome/evolution-data-server/files/patch-acinclude.m4.diff

If that fails, please attach these files:

/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_gnome_evolution-data-server/work/evolution-data-server-2.26.2/acinclude.m4
/opt/local/var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/release/ports/gnome/evolution-data-server/files/patch-acinclude.m4.diff

... for my reading pleasure. I'm stumped on how a one-line patch could fail.

Thanks for your help

Ah. I see the issue; when you saved the patchfile, the whitespace got munged. Believe it or not, patch is very finicky about how it matches, so that caused it to fail to match the surrounding lines and so to reject the patch.

I've attached the patchfile in pristine condition. Please download that, save it over the file/patch-acincludes.m4.diff you've currently got, and try once more. Should do nicely this time.

Patch to repair acincludes.m4 for Tiger/OS X 10.4.x

[palixath@…]

Sorry it didn't work neither, I've got the same error message. Damn I don't understand.

[jim@…]

I finally gained access to a Tiger box. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to reproduce this; the patch last attached worked fine for me.

@palixath: Have you had any luck in the intervening month?

Humm I don't understand why it doesn't work for me, but anyway I couldn't wait anymore and didn't know what to do, so I used fink instead of port, and it did work. Thank you for your help anyway

Can you attach the diff to the portfile? I will commit all the changes then.

Cc Me!

Is this still relevant with 2.30.3?
