Xcode 4 on Snow Leopard is not well tested in MacPorts, because it's not freely available. See if using a different compiler helps.

I also have an error on Mac 10.5 on installation of Jack which I thought might have something to do with the mactypes.patch file. From my main.log ":info:build ../config/os/macosx/pThreadUtilities.h:69:21: error: MacTypes.h: No such file or directory". Mactypes file is there but is not found during the build.

Update --- I removed mactypes.patch from the portfile and Jack appears to have compiled with two errors that I believe are not related to Jack.

similar problems on Mac OS X 10.6, XCode 3.2.6: :info:build ../config/os/macosx/pThreadUtilities.h:69:21: error: MacTypes.h: No such file or directory

I tried with the default gcc, gcc42 and mp-gcc46 (port select --set gcc)

MacPorts does not use the gcc select setting unless configure.compiler is set to “macports-gcc”, which it really should never be because it makes things very hard to debug. To debug using different compilers, you need to override configure.compiler on the command line.

% sudo port install jack +universal configure.compiler=gcc-4.2
% sudo port install jack +universal configure.compiler=macports-gcc-4.6

I'm using Snow Leopard with Xcode 4.0.2, ran into the same problem when making all my ports universal:

sudo port -p upgrade --enforce-variants active +universal

At first, I solved the build error by just commenting out #include <MacTypes.h> in config/os/macosx/pThreadUtilities.h. It doesn't seem to need it, and I thought I didn't even have that file.

It later occurred to me that I forgot to check for MacTypes.h under /System. I actually do have it here:

/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Frameworks/CarbonCore.framework/Headers/MacTypes.h

So I think kgibson's method (removing mactypes.patch from Portfile) is a better answer, as it will leave #include <CoreServices/../Frameworks/CarbonCore.framework/Headers/MacTypes.h> which should find the file properly.

Replying to blair@…:
I'm also using Snow Leopard, and was advised to rename mactypes.patch from the port file, then touch it to provide a "dummy" placeholder. Jack installed with no errors following this. (comment:3 by kgibson applies) I was also advised that subsequent of Portfiles using port selfupdate or port sync will require a manual replacement of the mactypes.patch with the empty (touched) placeholder.

Jeremy fixed this in r110491.
