gphpedit submission

[jdunn@…]

this port is almost complete, but i cant figure out why its giving errors.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

I'll take a look.

It looks like it requires webkit; guess that's the webkit-gtk port. I recall that takes awhile to build, so give me a minute...

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

The error I get from gphpedit is

make[2]: *** No rule to make target `gtkscintilla2/scintilla/bin/scintilla.a', needed by `gphpedit'.  Stop.

Is that what you get too?

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

And I'll ask the same question here that I did for libmcs in #25264: why are we downloading a distfile from ​your site and not from ​the project's site, and why do they differ?

[jdunn@…]

the one on my site doesnt need autogen.sh to be run. In the regular distfile on the project's site, autogen.sh runs configure automatically after being run. Your more than welcome to change it.

[jdunn@…]

i dont remember exactly about the errors i was getting, but it was scintilla related. I'll attach the log when i get home tonight.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

I think I was seeing the wrong error because I was building in parallel. Perhaps gPHPEdit doesn't like parallel building. Building serially, I get

After spending hours on Google I'm no smarter about what to do about this, so I filed ​a bug report with the developers.

[jdunn@…]

i attached the errors i get.

[jdunn@…]

also, i've been building in parallel, but i dont notice any difference when building serially

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

What version of Mac OS X? What's build_arch set to in macports.conf?

[jdunn@…]

10.6.3, x86_64

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Hm. For what arch has gtkscintilla2/libgtkscintilla2.a ended up being built, if not x86_64?

[jdunn@…]

i think its part of the gtk2 package, which means it should be x86_64 unless for some reason it got built as i386/i686, but i didnt change it at all.

[jdunn@…]

for the distfiles question, its because when the project site's file is extracted, it is a weirdly named dir. my version extracts to gphpedit-0.9.98/

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

It is not part of the gtk2 port. It is a library built by the gphpedit port. Please use "lipo -info" on it to determine its architecture.

[jdunn@…]

$ lipo -info libgtkscintilla2.a 
input file libgtkscintilla2.a is not a fat file
Non-fat file: libgtkscintilla2.a is architecture: x86_64

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

I don't know what to make of that since the error message specifically stated the linker wanted x86_64 but didn't find it in that library.

ld: warning: in gtkscintilla2/libgtkscintilla2.a, file was built for unsupported file format which is not the architecture being linked (x86_64)

[jdunn@…]

is gphpedit for some reason being built as i386 possibly?

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Sorry, this ticket was forgotten, several times; I've come back to this port several times over the years to try to make it build, but have never succeeded; I still end up with:

Replying to ryandesign@…:

ld: warning: in gtkscintilla2/libgtkscintilla2.a, file was built for unsupported file format which is not the architecture being linked (x86_64)

Actually with Xcode 4.5.2 and Apple clang 4.1 the wording has changed to:

ld: warning: ignoring file gtkscintilla2/libgtkscintilla2.a, file was built for archive which is not the architecture being linked (x86_64): gtkscintilla2/libgtkscintilla2.a

The attached port is updated to the final version of 0.9.98 fetched from the developer's github. Parallel building is disabled for now to ensure consistent error messages. The universal variant is enabled but has not been tested; it's blocked by #37774.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Replying to ryandesign@…:

The universal variant is enabled but has not been tested; it's blocked by #37774.

Now that I've got a patch for #37774 I was able to try gphpedit's universal variant, which failed at the same place, with a different error message:

ar -rs libgtkscintilla2.a scintilla/bin/scintilla.a gtkscintilla.o marshal.o
ar: creating archive libgtkscintilla2.a
/opt/local/bin/ranlib: archive member: libgtkscintilla2.a(scintilla.a) fat file for cputype (16777223) cpusubtype (3) is not an object file (bad magic number)

Searching on this error message I found #29261 (about a different port) in which Joshua said "Apparently it's trying to put an archive inside another archive, and ranlib doesn't support that." That seems to be the case here as well: it's trying to put an archive (scintilla.a) inside another archive (libgtkscintilla2.a).

[chrstphrchvz (Christopher Chavez)]

Is a port for this still desired? The last release of gphpedit was in 2006.

A nine year old submission last updated six years ago is nutty to leave as an open trac ticket.
