libcaca 0.99beta1 does not build on Mavericks

[mouse07410 (Mouse)]

I'd like to start that I don't really want to run a beta - but there's no choice as I want/need to run gnu plot, which in turn needs imlib2, which in turn needs libcaca.

OS: Mavericks 10.9.5. Xcode-6.1.1. Oracle JDK-8 (1.8.0_31).

Main build log is attached. The complaint seems to be - unable to find file "caca.h".

Help is appreciated. Thanks!

This was not a clean build, so we don't know if that's the real problem. Please clean the port and try again.

[mouse07410 (Mouse)]

Somehow this time it did not even try to build the port - but downloaded a pre-built binary. I don't know what to say, but since the end result is that gnuplot and its dependent ports got installed - I've no grounds to complain...

It's not building for me on Yosemite (10.10.2):

Could you please run "sudo port selfupdate" and "sudo port clean libcaca" and then try again? I committed two changes—one (r133310) has a remote possibility of helping, and the other (r133312) will give us a more detailed log if the problem persists.

Replying to ryandesign@…:

I just did an update and libcaca now builds successfully on Yosemite.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Ok great.

beta19: Still does not build on Snow Leopard. Same error as reported in the first post. Manually fixed it by copying ./caca/caca.h to ./java/ and ./caca/caca_types.h to ./java/ So it looks like the ./caca/ path is not in the include path?

[dcelzinga@…]

Still does not build on Mavericks, with same errors as above. I tried many times cleaning and installing.

I WAS able to build by manually copying ./caca/caca.h to ./java/ and ./caca/caca_types.h to ./java/ as suggested 10 days ago by cpepper@…

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Has duplicate #48669.

log of successful build when libcaca is already installed

log of unsuccessful build when libcaca is not installed

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Testing on my Yosemite system, I see that the build succeeds if libcaca is already installed​ (so upgrades work), but the build fails if libcaca is not installed​ (so new installations fail).

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

I have ​reported this bug to the developers.

The latest release was fixed to build on Mavericks a few days ago, per the following blacklist-related commit:

​https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/commit/b327e973bfe6df9dfbe768afb3f3b279299cb988

That was subsequently improved upon by @evanmiller today, who removed the blacklist requirement:
