py-spatialite 2.6.2 fails to build

[ian.rees@…]

Macports 2.1.2 updated ports tree 2013-01-14

Darwin 11.4.2

Xcode 4.2

spatialite 2.3.1 installed

Build fails with errors relating to finding geos_c.h .

The problem seems to be that setup.py in py-spatialite directory doesn't add my macports installation ${PREFIX}/include and ${PREFIX}/lib directories to clang search paths. I'm not sure on the proper way to fix this - the existing diff file for setup.py makes some changes to the include/lib directories to remove the wrong paths, but doesn't put anything in to replace them. I'd imagine there's a clever portfile construct to inject the desired macports prefix into the diff files, or otherwise get the proper include/lib directories to clang by the time it runs?

Have attached an updated patch-setup_py.diff that gets it going* assuming the macports installation prefix is /opt/local/ .

*This doesn't resolve (what I think is) a separate issue - src/connection.h redefines spatialite_init() from the existing /opt/local/include/spatialite.h, so I hackily fixed that in src/connection.h:

#ifndef SPATIALITE_DECLARE
int spatialite_init(int verbose);
#endif

I'd like to reproduce the error before patching. I'm on 11.4.2 as well, using Xcode 4.5.2 and I'm able to build py27-spatialite without errors.

What command are you actually running in order to install pyXX-spatialite?

Can you please run

port log py27-spatialite >~/Desktop/port_py-spatialite.log

and attach to this ticket the file that gets created on your desktop?

Change the python version according to your selection, I picked python 2.7 in the upward command.

Understood - it's entirely possible that my machine is in some weird state. In case it matters, I've got sqlite3 3.7.15.2 installed through macports as well.

What command are you actually running in order to install pyXX-spatialite?

I started with 'sudo port install qgis', then 'sudo port install py-spatialite' when that didn't fly.

Can you please run

port log py27-spatialite >~/Desktop/port_py-spatialite.log

and attach to this ticket the file that gets created on your desktop?

Sure, will do shortly.

Change the python version according to your selection, I picked python 2.7 in the upward command.

Thanks! -Ian-

Clang versions that support CPATH wouldn't have problems due to the missing -I flag.

Is there a reference to check what Xcode version and compiler combinations support what/whatnot?

Ran into the same issue during an install of qgis.

The patch for the existing setup.py patchfile (!) and the connection.h hack worked for me.

Are there plans to incorporate these fixes, or something cleaner?

Darwin 11.4.2 x86_64, XCode 4.2.1

What issue is the connection.h hack trying to fix?

[anddam (Andrea D'Amore)]

Committed r103345, ticket closed.

[jmroot (Joshua Root)]

You appear to have forgotten to commit the new patchfile?

[anddam (Andrea D'Amore)]

No, it's there. The proposed patchfile was an extension to the already existing one, compare the committed version​ and the proposed one​.

[jmroot (Joshua Root)]

#38211 says otherwise.

[anddam (Andrea D'Amore)]

Correct, I thought you were referring to file patch-setup_py.diff-new attached to this very ticket due to the "-new" in name, see comment:ticket:38211:3.
