#42959 new defect

libjpeg not found when building emacs from source

Reported by: holtzermann17@… Owned by: macports-tickets@…
Priority: Normal Milestone:
Component: ports Version: 2.2.1
Keywords: Cc: ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt), cooljeanius (Eric Gallager)
Port: emacs

Description

Here's what I see when I try to configure the latest bzr Emacs from source: 

$ ./configure
[...]
configure: error: The following required libraries were not found:
     libjpeg libgif/libungif
Maybe some development libraries/packages are missing?
If you don't want to link with them give
     --with-jpeg=no --with-gif=no
as options to configure

I have the jpeg port installed. Any advice?

As in #42928, I have to ask what happens when you install the emacs port, since it installs fine for me. If that's the case for you as well, but you still want to build emacs from source, then you need to tell the emacs configure script how to locate the libraries that MacPorts installed. You can examine the emacs port's main.log file to see the various environment variables and configure arguments that MacPorts uses to accomplish this.
