Unable to build pulseaudio on Mavericks

[allamistakeo18@…]

Hi,

I am attempting to install gnucash on Mavericks, which in turn attempts to install pulseaudio, which fails to build (see attached log).

Thanks in advance for your support.

The following ports are also currently failing to build (most, if not all of them because they directly or indirectly depend on pulseaudio):

evince                         @3.10.3         gnome/evince
gnome-settings-daemon          @3.8.5          gnome/gnome-settings-daemon

Hi,

I have the same problem trying to build eog, which needs pulseaudio, which fails to build. I attach my log file (which looks a bit different to the other one).

I hope this can be fixed soon... Thanks for your help.

Since not much progress has been reported on this issue, I just decided to rename my /opt/ and /Applications/MacPorts/ folders, reinstall MacPorts from scratch, and attempt again to install gnucash. This time it failed when attempting to build libbonoboui, as reported in this other ticket:

#41562

allamistakeo18, your log was not a ​clean attempt. And yes, you should uninstall and reinstall MacPorts anytime you upgrade to a new OS X verison. There are other steps you should do as well; see wiki:Migration.

louis, your log shows "error: unknown type name 'Point'". This is an old QuickDraw type... not sure what the problem is yet; pulseaudio builds fine for me on Mavericks. Did you install Xcode 5.x and its corresponding command line tools?

Replying to ryandesign@…:

Hi, thanks for your reply.

I have XCode 5.0.2 and its corresponding command line tools installed. I reinstalled Macports after Mavericks upgrade and reinstalled all my ports afterwards (too many build errors before that). Everything went fine, except for pulseaudio (and hence eog and a couple more dependencies).

Does the "QuickDraw" error mean I miss some header files somewhere? Or is it not supposed to rely on those libraries?

Thanks again!

I see -I/Developer/Headers/FlatCarbon/ in the compile lines in the log. Do you still have the /Developer directory, left over from a previous version of OS X? In other tickets, we've seen this interfere with builds, so it should be removed.

That was indeed the problem. pulseaudio and eog build fine now. Thanks a lot for your time and help!

Glad that worked.
