Error: Processing of port gnutls failed

The error arises after performing the following:

sudo port clean gnutls
sudo port -v install gnutls

An attempt at installing gnutls was made after removing all ports to re-check the issue with M4 raised in ticket: ​https://trac.macports.org/ticket/62991

M4 was manually patch and installed as per steps outlined in the above ticket, but still fails the port test phase (see 62991).

In addition, the following warning was reported while installing the dependancies for gnutls:

It sure seems that gnutls won't let you install w/o the +doc variant. I may have to make building the documents non-optional.

Please try installing with the +doc variant.

[FaradayLight (Faraday Light)]

That failed - due to an attempt to install python38.

I have have installed python39 without error beforehand, but it is still determining a dependancy on python38; is this to be expected?

Please see: main_gnutls_02.log

[Schamschula (Marius Schamschula)]

On my M1 system I have gtk-doc @1.32_1+python38 installed (it is the default variant), but you can also install gtk-doc +python39.

Note: I don't ever install +universal on any of my machines (only the native architecture), hence I have not encountered this issue.

[jmroot (Joshua Root)]

Replying to Schamschula:

It sure seems that gnutls won't let you install w/o the +doc variant.

The port runs autoreconf --install when building on arm64. That requires gtkdocize (provided by the gtk-doc port), but no corresponding dependency is added unless using +doc.

[FaradayLight (Faraday Light)]

Re gtk-doc:

I do not have that package installed - I removed all port packages and then attempted to install a base set from scratch to test the manually-patched install of M4 (see #62991).

Re +universal:

The +universal option was added as a default in a recent update to MacPorts (v2.7.1?) so if that is a problem it is being triggered by the default settings.

[FaradayLight (Faraday Light)]

Re autoconf:

Would a patch to the Portfile address the +doc issue?

[Schamschula (Marius Schamschula)]

That's what I was trying to say. As gtk-doc is an added dependency for the +doc variant under arm64, I might as well make it default for that additional case, as its is already for some others.

[FaradayLight (Faraday Light)]

OK, understood. Thanks.

[Schamschula (Marius Schamschula)]

Instead of adding yet another special case, I've reverted to building the docs in all cases.

See: [cd7bbf271582b0fb19066d6e9ec895b755898a80/macports-ports]

[FaradayLight (Faraday Light)]

Thanks.

That may have resolve the problem detailed above, but the install now fails due to a dependancy of gtk-doc on python38 (See: #62948).

python39 installs without error and is on the system, but gtk-doc seems to determine that python38 is required as well, or in place of the former.

[FaradayLight (Faraday Light)]

The installation now completes successfully if the gtk-doc+python39 variant is first installed before attempting to install gnutls.

I have raised a ticket against gtk-doc regarding the python38 issue: #63043

[kencu (Ken)]

Faraday, remove +universal from your variants.conf (and the reinstall all your ports, which will download buildbot versions). Then you will have no, or at least much less, trouble.

[FaradayLight (Faraday Light)]

Hi, I have commented out the setting in variants and that has resolved the issues I have been experiencing.

In addition - python38 will build and install without error if the +universal variant is not selected.
