nds2-client fails install

[watsodw]

Might be a java issue. See log.

The log says:

gcj: error trying to exec 'ecj1': execvp: No such file or directory

And I see that this port is using gcc48.

This is a known problem in gcc48 and other versions; see #22066.

gcc47 was already fixed, but this port has no variants for selecting any other gcc version.

It looks like the dependency is written as bin:javac:gcc48. So you could avoid the problem by installing Java on your computer, such that /usr/bin/javac then exists.

This dependency is in the swig_java variant, so if you don't need java support in nds2-client, you could install it without that variant.

The web site says swig_java is a dependency, but I tried again with "-swig_java" and it worked. Thanks.

In [8803dd4681/macports-ports], when the nds2-client port variants were split off into subports (e.g. nds2-client-java), the fallback dependency on GCJ (from gcc48) was also removed; so I believe this issue should no longer be present, and this ticket can be closed.

(The Java dependency for nds2-client-java should instead be managed by the Java portgroup, which I have opened a PR for: ​https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/8022; see #60206)
