Description (last modified by mf2k (Frank Schima))

Under MAC 10.8.2, latest macport release, I try to install virtualbox @4.2.6, but error occurs during compilation kmk :

Ok, Thanks. It's my first request with Trac.

The actual relevant first error seems to be:

:info:build   File "/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_emulators_virtualbox/virtualbox/work/VirtualBox-4.2.6/src/VBox/HostServices/SharedOpenGL/crserverlib/server_retval.py", line 49

Summary: virtualbox compilation error under Mac OSX Lionvirtualbox: SyntaxError: invalid syntax

What version of Xcode do you have?

And what output do you get for xcodebuild -version and clang -v?

Do you still get this problem with virtualbox @4.2.8?

Hello,

What version of Xcode do you have? And what output do you get for xcodebuild -version and clang -v?

Xcode 4.6.1, Build version 4H512
Apple clang version 4.1 (tags/Apple/clang-421.11.66) (based on LLVM 3.1svn)
Target: x86_64-apple-darwin12.3.0
Thread model: posix

Do you still get this problem with virtualbox @4.2.8?

virtualbox-4.2.8-OSX.dmg works fine.

That version of clang came with an older version of Xcode. Please update it by opening Xcode and going to the Preferences window, to the Downloads section, and clicking the appropriate button.

virtualbox-4.2.8-OSX.dmg works fine.

I was talking about building virtualbox 4.2.8 with MacPorts, which I can see from your new attachment still didn't build right. After updating the Xcode command line tools as above, please clean virtualbox and try again.

After Xcode update:

Ok, same error. It's complaining about a Python file. What version of Python do you have? What's the output of:

python --version

If it's not 2.7.x, try installing the python27 port and running:

sudo port select python python27

Then clean virtualbox and try again.

comment:10 Changed 11 years ago by frederic.leger@…

With python27 compilation is a success.

I suggest that the package maintainer adds a dependency with this python version.

Thanks Ryan.

comment:11 Changed 11 years ago by ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)

It's not just a matter of adding a dependency. It's also that virtualbox is running "python", which means it's affected by whatever version of python you may have selected or installed. virtualbox needs to be patched to run "python2.7" instead.

Resolution: fixed
Status: newclosed

In 80709efdc0b4154e6c0b26d01a28d9bae04850a9/macports-ports (master):

virtualbox: delete port

Port has not been successfully updated in 7 years, has reported build
problems, has broken dependencies (vde2), and is unbuildable on recent
macOS versions (requires apple-gcc42).
