Install of junit on OS X 10.8.1 fails at patch time

[james.mountifield@…]

System Version:	OS X 10.8.1 (12B19)
Kernel Version:	Darwin 12.1.0

vpn17:~ mounty$ sudo port version
Version: 2.1.2

vpn17:~ mounty$ xcodebuild -version
Xcode 4.4.1
Build version 4F1003

When attempting to run install subversion-javahlbindings I get an error when trying to install junit as a dependency:

vpn17:~ mounty$ sudo port

Error: Processing of port junit failed

I have reviewed the PriblemHotlist and have confirmed that the xcode licenses is accepted for both the current user, and root. I tried with an alternative compiler as described, but the error occurs before that stage.

Having looked at the log file (attached) I see the patch command fails. Running the same patch command manually as root also fails.

The interesting part is how the patch command fails:

:info:patch /usr/bin/patch: **** Can't rename file src/main/java/org/junit/matchers/package-info.java to src/main/java/org/junit/matchers/package-info.java.orig : Permission denied

That shouldn't happen. I wonder why it doesn't have permission on your system. It works fine for me.

Right, thanks for the tip. I've managed to get junit to install!

I did the following:

1. chmod +s /usr/bin/patch
2. port uninstall/clean/install junit (this failed, but post patching step)
3. chmod -R 777 /opt/local/var/macports/build (to fix the build permissions error introduced by the chmod above)
4. port install junit
5. chmod -s /usr/bin/patch

My original task of installing the Subversion JavaHL packages can now complete, so I'm happy

Guess we'll call this closed then.
