Can't build on Ubuntu

[rudloff@…]

===> making all in src/macports1.0
make[2]: Entering directory `/home/pierre/Bureau/MacPorts-2.0.3/src/macports1.0'

gcc: error: CoreFoundation: No such file or directory
gcc: error: SystemConfiguration: No such file or directory

I do have the gnustep-core-devel package installed.

I don't really expect anyone to work on that, it is just so that you guys know.

Did you tell configure to use GNUstep?

./configure --with-objc-runtime=GNU --with-objc-foundation=GNU

[rudloff@…]

It works, thanks !

Now the install phase is not working :

===> making install in doc
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/pierre/Bureau/MacPorts-2.0.3/doc'
/usr/bin/install -c -d -o root -g root -m 0755 /opt/local

/bin/bash: -U: command not found
make[1]: *** [install] Error 127
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/pierre/Bureau/MacPorts-2.0.3/doc'
make: *** [install] Error 1

[rudloff@…]

Oh, I just had to add /usr/lib/freebsd to my path (see ​here, sorry. MacPorts is now installed and seems to work fine.

[skyskipper@…]

Hey, i also have the same problem at make install.

i tried to install freebsd-buildutils to get mtree where another error message popup

checking for Apple Foundation library... no
checking for GNUstep Foundation library... no
configure: error: Could not find a working Foundation implementation

and after i remove the freebsd-buildutils package

checking for GNUstep Foundation library... yes
configure: Using GNUstep Foundation library

this is my PATH

/usr/lib/freebsd:/usr/lib/lightdm/lightdm:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games

Cc Me!

[rudloff@…]

I will try to provide an Ubuntu package for you to use.

[skyskipper@…]

Thank you.

[rudloff@…]

​Here is a package that you can try. It won't magically make the ports work on Linux though.

Made configure fail if mtree is not present in r91520.

I can confirm MacPorts base currently builds fine on Ubuntu and Debian (after installing lots of packages). I think this issue is fixed.

What is the current list of packages that need to be installed? I am writing a .travis.yml file for my fork of MacPorts on GitHub and would like to know what to sudo apt-get install in my "install:" phase... So far I am using the old .dsc file in browser:trunk/base/portmgr/ubuntu as reference, but not all of the package names line up exactly with the ones that are currently available according to launchpad.net (or at least the search on it)...

You can find the list of dependencies ​here.
