Happend for me to on Darwin MBP15.local 10.8.0 Darwin Kernel Version 10.8.0: Tue Jun 7 16:32:41 PDT 2011; root:xnu-1504.15.3~1/RELEASE_X86_64 x86_64 using gcc

I just wanted to mention that this still happens for libquicktime-1.2.4_8. See attached main.2.log

I’d guess libquicktime @1.2.4 is not compatible with the version of ffmpeg we have in MacPorts. libquicktime-devel @1.2.4_20130920 builds fine, however, so use that for now, until a new stable version of libquicktime is released.

Yes, that's the case. Ports depending on libquicktime should probably be updated to build with libquicktime-devel by default for now.

I uninstalled mjpegtools and all dependencies:

sudo port uninstall mjpegtools
sudo port uninstall --follow-dependencies leaves

and then tried to reinstall it:

sudo port -v install mjpegtools

This time it used libquicktime-devel as dependency. But libquicktime-devel has it's own problems:

:info:configure checking for GL/glx.h... yes
:info:configure ./configure: line 16948: syntax error near unexpected token `ALSA,'

[mojca (Mojca Miklavec)]

What about patching libquicktime just enough to make it work? There are some issues with CVS on the buildbot among other problems (#43198).

[mojca (Mojca Miklavec)]

a minimum patch to avoid compile errors

[mojca (Mojca Miklavec)]

full patch against CVS

CCing maintainer of libquicktime-devel.

[mojca (Mojca Miklavec)]

Please not that the patches weren't tested extensively. I just made sure that the code compiled.
