It seems that the package for pidgin depend on an Xcode version that is not available for Mac OS Leopard. I have Xcode 3.1.4.

comment:4 Changed 14 years ago by nefar@…

The latest port version is 2.7.3 and it compiled fine for me. I have Xcode version 3.2.3. Maybe you should upgrade to leopard?

comment:5 Changed 14 years ago by hippallium-macports@…

I am already using Leopard. But Xcode 3.2.3 requires Snow Leopard.

I have tried to compile the older Pidgin 2.6.6. It was working in the past but today I get the same error message. It seems that something has changed recently in MacPorts and that affects the port Pidgin.

I can build pidgin if I pass the option --disable-perl to the configure script.

comment:7 Changed 14 years ago by dbevans (David B. Evans)

Building pidgin also fails for me in this same way on both Leopard and Tiger (ppc) but builds properly on Snow Leopard (x86_64).

This appears to be compiler dependent as configuring the port to use gcc-4.2 on Leopard allows it to build. gcc-4.2 is the default on Snow Leopard and is available but not the default on Snow Leopard. For Tiger, I am using --disable-perl for now although installing gcc42 may be a solution there (I haven't tried this).

Attached is my patch for the Portfile.

Please see the Ticket #25092. The problem is essentially caused by the inclusion of file /opt/local/lib/perl5/5.8.9/darwin-2level/CORE/config.h in the build rather than the one in $(top_srcdir). I believe the alternative solution is better because instead of disabling perl support, it simply fixes the problem by including the correct config.h file.
