fontforge @20110222 compile fails on Xcode 4.4 (OS X 10.8)

[machsna (J. ‘mach’ Wust)]

I guess this might be pretty much the same error as Ticket #33284, an absolute path that no longer exists in the new Xcode version.

:info:build giomime.c:68:10: fatal error: '/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Headers/FlatCarbon/Files.h' file not found
:info:build #include </Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Headers/FlatCarbon/Files.h>
:info:build          ^

This issue (if I am not mistaken) has been reported to the fontforge developers: ​https://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=29601573

Has duplicate #35411.

It looks like we may be able to simply change the post-patch phase to accomodate using the 10.7 SDK on 10.8.

[nerdling (Jeremy Lavergne)]

By using the 10.7 SDK I get past the original error and down to this one:

/System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/Frameworks/ATS.framework/Headers/SFNTLayoutTypes.h:1791:41: error: typedef redefinition with different types ('struct AnchorPoint' vs 'struct anchorpoint')
typedef struct AnchorPoint              AnchorPoint;
                                        ^
./splinefont.h:512:3: note: previous definition is here
} AnchorPoint;
  ^

[nerdling (Jeremy Lavergne)]

use 10.7 SDK for Carbon

[nerdling (Jeremy Lavergne)]

use 10.7 SDK and find/replace AnchorPoint

[nerdling (Jeremy Lavergne)]

I have a successful build with the latest suggested patch​. Anyone else have success or failure with it?

[nerdling (Jeremy Lavergne)]

Committed in r96396.

Using an older SDK isn't ideal; it would be better to use framework includes instead of FlatCarbon.

Wouldn't Xcode 4.4 on 10.7 still fail the same way? Shouldn't the test be for ${xcodeversion} and not ${os.major}?

[nerdling (Jeremy Lavergne)]

Probably not a bad idea. Do you know if it's xcode 4.4 that should serve at the first version having issues?

fontforge fails to build for me as well on 10.8, I have no idea from the above on how to fix it. Hoping there will be a fix soon.

Make sure you set developer_dir appropriately in macports.conf (typically /opt/local/etc/macports/macports.conf):

for instance... developer_dir /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer
