mjpegtools build error: ld: library not found for -lX11

[mroman@…]

I am not expirenced unix user, but on my machine there is bug while compiling mjpegtools:

I managed to compile this app, by modifying portfile.

[jmroot (Joshua Root)]

What's the deal with a -L being added to CPPFLAGS and not LDFLAGS in the first place?

[mroman@…]

I think it's connected with makefile. Changing to ldflags doesn't fix this problem.

[mroman@…]

I have only added "-L${x11prefix}/lib" to configure.cppflags-append.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

I'm unable to reproduce the problem on two MacBooks Pro, one running Mac OS X 10.5.4 with Xcode 3.1 and one running Mac OS X 10.4.11 with Xcode 2.5. On both, mjpegtools 1.6.2_2 installs without error. What version of Mac OS X, Xcode and MacPorts do you have, and on what kind of Mac? What ports are already installed?

I see a number of problems in the line just above the error:

1. mjpegtools is looking for libraries in /usr/local/lib. Do you have any libraries in /usr/local/lib? If so you should remove them before using MacPorts.
2. mjpegtools is linking with /opt/local/lib/libdv.dylib. I don't have that on my system and I don't know what port provides it. Can you show us the output of "port provides /opt/local/lib/libdv.dylib" please?
3. mjpegtools is linking with /opt/local/lib/libglib.dylib which is provided by glib1 but mjpegtools doesn't declare a dependency on glib1.
4. mjpegtools is linking with /opt/local/lib/libSDL.dylib which is provided by libsdl but mjpegtools doesn't declare a dependency on libsdl.

mjpegtools should either declare dependencies on all the libraries it links with, or configure arguments should be added to force mjpegtools not to link with those libraries if they're present.

I didn't know, that /usr/local/lib should be empty. These libs were probably installed with some .pkg's. Do I really need to move them elsewhere?

Thanks mroman.

1. Looks like you have graphviz installed in /usr/local. Any reason why the MacPorts graphviz port was insufficient? If so, please let me know by email or in a new ticket so I can make it sufficient.

The problem with having things in /usr/local is that software installed using MacPorts might look for libraries in /usr/local before looking in /opt/local, and this will cause problems. We don't know how to tell software not to do that, so the only thing we can do is tell people not to put anything in /usr/local. In this particular case I don't think this is a problem. I thought maybe you had some more generic libraries in /usr/local which would have been more problematic.

2. Ok, so libdv.dylib is provided by libdv. And mjpegtools already has a libdv variant, and an sdl variant. So the port just needs to be enhanced to not link against those libraries when those variants are not chosen.

3, 4: So gtk1 doesn't find your X libraries either. I cannot reproduce that either; gtk1 installs without error for me on Tiger and Leopard on Intel on the systems I mentioned above. Check the config.log for more details, like it says, or attach it here and I'll have a look at it.

P.S: In the future, please remember WikiFormatting.

[mroman@…]

Sorry for waiting so long. I've reinstalled os and everything seems compiling well. I suppose this problem was occured becouse I had not installed X11 from leopard dvd, but XQuartz.

Sorry for troubles.

[mf2k (Frank Schima)]

Actually XQuartz works fine with MacPorts. I highly recommend it.

Glad you solved the problem!

Filed as #16606.

[detto-brumm@…]

I had the exact same problem on my fresh 10.5.4 installation upgraded to 10.5.5 , installed xquartz-2.3.1 , installed Xcode3 (latest version) , and macports-1.6.0.

The diff change in Portfile did work.

Would be nice to see it fixed tho.
