Apache-ivy fails to install on OS X Mavericks

Reported by: lgo@… Owned by: macports-tickets@…
Priority: Normal Milestone:
Component: ports Version: 2.2.1
Keywords: mavericks haspatch Cc:
Port: apache-ivy

Description

Trying to update apache-ivy to 2.3.0_0 on a MacBook Pro recently updated to OS X Mavericks fails with a 'JAVA_HOME not defined correctly' error.

This appears to be caused by OS X Mavericks not including Java 6. Two ways to solve this:

  1. as a workaround, installing a JRE 6
  2. applying attached patch to the apache-ivy portfile

Since this issue hasn't been resolved, i tried hand patching my Portfile with the "PortGroup java 1.0" but that still didn't work for me.

I just horribly kludged it by pasting my actual JAVA_HOME path onto the "build.env" line, and that worked.

Is anyone working on this?

Not likely since this port does not have a maintainer. Please attach your patch.

I had the same problem on OS X 10.10 (whatever it's code name is)

Just installing a JDK from Su..er..Oracle didn't do the trick. Instead:

$ sudo su
Password:
sh-3.2# ln -s /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_60.jdk/Contents/Home/ /Library/Java/Home 
sh-3.2# ls -l !$
ls -l /Library/Java/Home
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  64 Sep  4 16:39 /Library/Java/Home -> /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_60.jdk/Contents/Home/
sh-3.2# exit

The Cassandra installation fails for a different reason, FWIW.

It seems that /Library/Java/Home was used in earlier versions of Mac OS X, but is no longer defined (I'm on 10.10.5). The robust way to specify the JAVA_HOME variable on Mac OS X is

export JAVA_HOME=`/usr/libexec/java_home`
