plplot @5.9.9_12+aquaterm+python27+x11: build failure

[rms414@…]

I am having some issues with compiling plplot and cannot figure out how to solve it. There were some changes made to the portfile which was necessary for the compilation. This could potentially be the source of the problem. I have attached both the log file for the plplot compilation and the portfile. To save some time reading through the portfile, the changes made were the following:

1.) Replacing the post-patch section with:

post-patch {
#    reinplace "s|-framework AquaTerm|-F${prefix}/Library/Frameworks -framework AquaTerm|" ${worksrcpath}/cmake/modules/aqt.cmake
    reinplace "s|-ObjC|-ObjC -framework AquaTerm|" ${worksrcpath}/cmake/modules/aqt.cmake
    reinplace "s|-framework AquaTerm|-F${frameworks_dir} -framework AquaTerm|" ${worksrcpath}/cmake/modules/aqt.cmake
    if {[variant_isset python]} {
        reinplace "s|find_package(PythonLibs)||" ${worksrcpath}/cmake/modules/python.cmake
        reinplace "s|get_python_lib\(1,0,prefix='$\{CMAKE_INSTALL_EXEC_PREFIX\}'\)|get_python_lib()|" ${worksrcpath}/cmake/modules/python.cmake
    }
}

2.) Adding a new variant

variant python27 description {Add support for python27} {
    depends_lib-append      port:python27 \
                            port:py27-numpy \
                            port:swig-python
    configure.args-delete   -DENABLE_python=OFF
    configure.args-append   -DENABLE_python=ON \
                            -DHAVE_NUMPY:BOOL=ON \
                            -DPYTHON_INCLUDE_PATH=/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/Current/include/python2.7 \
                            -DPYTHON_LIBRARIES=/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/Current/lib/libpython2.7.dylib
}

If anyone has any idea on what can potentially be the problem, it will be greatly appreciated.

Plplot Portfile

[rms414@…]

I forgot to add, in order to compile plplot with Macports, I used the command "sudo port -v install plplot +python27"

[larryv (Lawrence Velázquez)]

Thanks. In the future, please Cc relevant port maintainers, use WikiFormatting in ticket descriptions, avoid setting the Priority field, include port version information in the ticket summary, and attach unified diffs instead of whole portfiles.

Installed Ports

[rms414@…]

Ok thank you, I will make sure to do that. Just in case its useful I attached the ports currently installed on my MacBook Pro

It seems that you need some improvement to python27 variant but got into a trouble. What is the problem with the current python27 variant? It is up to you to modify Portfile to make it suit your needs, but in that case you're on your own.

[rms414@…]

Sorry for the delayed response. To be honest, I am not sure why the python27 varient was changed, I was told to change the Portfile to the one attached because it has been shown to work in the past. Just out of curiosity I changed everything back to the original Portfile and tried to recompile the same way as before (sudo port -v install plplot +python27), but it seems like the same error occurred. I have attached the log file again in case it is helpful.

Updated Log File

[rms414@…]

I found out the main reason for making these changes in the Portfile was because plplot will not be able to be imported into the current version of python on my laptop (2.7.5). Is there possibly another way to do to this?

[tenomoto (Takeshi Enomoto)]

Your build failed because CMake found QT_MAC_USE_COCOA against -DENABLE_pyqt4=OFF -DENABLE_qt=OFF and try to use QtSvg framework but not found. I'll see if I could fix this, but in the mean time you could deactivate your Qt installation and install plplot +python27. If you have non-MacPorts Qt, you might have to uninstall it or need to find a way to hide it from CMake.

[rms414@…]

Ok thanks I will try that. How exactly do I deactivate the Qt installation?

[rms414@…]

I looked through all of my installed ports, and as of now I do not have any Qt ports. I do have Qt installed outside of Macports, maybe this is the cause of the problem?

[tenomoto (Takeshi Enomoto)]

I think I made a progress with Qt4 and plplot in r108177.

Similar problems in #38688 and #39673
