unison 2.40.102: Xcode project hard-codes SDK location

[neukomp@…]

Using sudo port install unison +aqua, the build fails with following error.

build error: There is no SDK with the name or path '/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.5.sdk'

I'm on OSX 10.8 and typically only build for 10.8. (Sometime for 10.7 & 10.6) but this port won't build because I don't have 10.5 sdk installed.

This is not a high-priority issue; please do not set the Priority field in the future.

The unison build probably hard-codes that path somewhere.

[neukomp@…]

Understood.

For someone who uses unison multiple times per week (sometimes multiple times per day), this is a high priority to get fixed. But I understand that in the bigger scheme of Macports this may not be high.

As a suggestion, don't allow someone posting a bug to set the priority???

Understandable.

We generally reserve High priority for security issues.

We’ve talked about it, but no one’s really bothered to look into it. It’s not a very pressing concern for us at the moment.

patch for the patch that patches the Xcode project

As I thought.

Can you try this patch​?

% sudo port clean unison && sudo port selfupdate
% curl 'https://trac.macports.org/raw-attachment/ticket/40052/remove-sdk.patch' | patch -d $(port dir unison) -p0
% sudo port -d install unison

(If the patch command bails out and complains about permissions, run it as superuser.)

[neukomp@…]

I can't get the patch to work. I've also tried sudo but it errors out with

sudo curl 'https://trac.macports.org/raw-attachment/ticket/40052/remove-sdk.patch' | patch -d $(port dir unison) -p0

I'm totally lost.

Sorry this is a bit beyond my capabilities.

[larryv (Lawrence Velázquez)]

Other way around. Put “sudo” before “patch”, not “curl”.

[neukomp@…]

Thanks, that helped. The patch was applied but now I have another problem. The compile failed.

I've attached a new log.

Not sure why it is building for i386 when I'm running x64 (os x 10.8.4)??

Duplicate of #24721.

Because you're using the +aqua variant, and it probably hardcodes that somewhere as well. Duplicate of #21862 I think?

[neukomp@…]

Looks like #21862 (not 64 bit clean)

But likely also #24721 (hard-coded paths).

I'll follow the these two reports. We seemed to make quite a bit of progress over the past week or so. Would it be possible to continue to fix these other two bugs? I'm happy to help test as we go.

Thanks!
