mythtv-core.27 build fails if glib2 is not installed

[jgandrade11@…]

After clean install of mavericks, installation of Xcode 5.0.2, Command Line Tools for mavericks late Oct, macports 2.2.1 and using "sudo port install mythtv-core.27" I am unable to complete the installation.

What you've attached was not a log from a clean attempt, and the failure you experienced was likely because of that. Please ​clean and try again and if it fails again, please attach the new main.log file. Just attach the file as-is; don't convert it to an rtf file.

[jgandrade11@…]

Thank you very much for your quick reply. I did a clean install and same error happened. Here is the new main.log file. Thanks for looking into it

[ctreleaven (Craig Treleaven)]

Just to be clear, Ryan meant that you should do

sudo port clean mythtv-core.27

and then

sudo port install mythtv-core.27

and then post the resulting log if it still fails. The log attached appears to be the initial attempt to install?

Could you please either do that or confirm that is what you've already done? Thanks.

[jgandrade11@…]

I have attached the main.log after a your advised clean attempt and re-install using your mentioned commands. Thank you

[ctreleaven (Craig Treleaven)]

I can't recreate, see attached. Please execute the following in Terminal.app

sudo port clean --all mythtv-core.27

and then attempt the install again.

Thanks for your suggestion, got same error. I attached the newly created main.log file.

After processing fails and before running the clean command, what are the contents of the work directory? Enter:

ls -l $(port work mythtv-core.27)/mythtv-cb744f81

Mine is:

I think I know what is going on but I haven't experienced this before. Your logs contain the following warning:

:warn:archivefetch Your DNS servers incorrectly claim to know the address of nonexistent hosts. This may cause checksum mismatches for some ports.

I think you're actually getting an empty file when you try to fetch the MythTV source. I don't know how that is getting past the checksum stage. If that is the problem, we can bypass it by putting the file where MacPorts expects it. First, though, clean up your previous attempts with

sudo port clean --all mythtv-core.27

I've put the necessary file on my DropBox:

​https://www.dropbox.com/l/xYF4pyy4yLyZLoUWT4b7d9

In the Distfiles folder, you'll find an 85.9 MB file that contains all the source code to MythTV. Download it and move it, as it is, into

/opt/local/var/macports/distfiles/mythtv-core.27

Now attempt the install again. If that doesn't work, I've placed a copy of the compiled MythTV system (46.5 MB file) on my DropBox as well, in the Software folder. It would need to be downloaded and placed in:

/opt/local/var/macports/software/mythtv-core.27

Again, attempt the install. I may not have time to look in here for a couple of days--hope this solves your problem.

[jgandrade11@…]

I tried your suggestions but I still get the same message "Error: Processing of port mythtv-core.27 failed"
I have verizon fios, I was able to edit my router DNS settings to opt out of DNS Assistance. I no longer get the ":warn:archivefetch Your DNS servers incorrectly claim to know the address of nonexistent hosts. This may cause checksum mismatches for some ports." but I still cannot complete the installation of mythtv. I have attached a new main.log file for your viewing.

Thanks for your patience and help on trying to solve this issue.

The log says:

:info:fetch --->  mythtv-cb744f81.tar.gz doesn't seem to exist in /opt/local/var/macports/distfiles/mythtv-core.27

So the downloaded file can't be in the right place. Please verify and try again.

Verified and tried again. New main.log attached.

[ctreleaven (Craig Treleaven)]

Ahh, that is a completely different error. For my interest, please report the results of

port installed glib2

I think it is missing, so install it with:

sudo port install glib2

and then install Myth again. DO NOT do 'sudo port clean --all mythtv-core.27' anymore as it will wipe out the distfile and you'll have to put it back. Weird that this is the first time this missing dependency has come up.

[jgandrade11@…]

WOW, you are awesome!

That fixed the problem, installation is complete! I would like to support you/Macports for such a great app.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

I was able to reproduce this error if I forcibly deactivated glib2 on my system.

mythtv doesn't seem to need glib2, but it depends on libass, which depends on fribidi, which will use glib2 if it was found at the time fribidi was built.

r114832 might be the fix for this.
