geoclue: build failure with gpsd 3.14

[dershow]

I have geoclue 0.12.99_4 installed. It depends on gpsd. I had gpsd 3.11_0 installed, but it just upgraded to 3.14_0. However, after that upgrade macports finds that geoclue is a broken port and attempts, but fails, to rebuild it:

Oh dear. We are using a patch in the gpsd port to set the library's install_name but we're setting it to the same value as the current_version and the compatibility_version which is almost certainly wrong.

and attempts, but fails, to rebuild it:

I have also attached the full log of the geoclue rebuild attempt.

:info:build geoclue-gpsd.c:379:33: error: no member named 'tag' in 'struct gps_data_t'
:info:build         char *tag_str = gpsd->gpsdata->tag;
:info:build                         ~~~~~~~~~~~~~  ^

Oh dear. That sounds like the API has changed between 3.11 and 3.14 which would be an unfortunate contravention of the usual meaning of the version numbering. The ​documentation still says "Your packet parser is also responsible for setting the tag field in the gps_data_t structure" so if the tag field has now been removed from the gps_data_t structure then the documentation is also out of date.

It looks like someone (ryandesign?) just fixed this....almost. I just did a port sync. Now, it shows geoclue2 as outdated, with me having 2.1.10_0 and current is 2.2.0_0. I don't recall that I ever explicitly installed geoclue2. So, I'm guessing that this was a bump to the new API. I then did an upgrade, and it correctly built geoclue2. But, then gave the same error as before for geoclue. So, I just uninstalled geoclue.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

I didn't fix geoclue; I looked to see if there was a new version, and only found a new version for geoclue2, so I updated that.

geoclue was needed for old versions of webkit-gtk, which are still used on older systems, but if you have a newer system, then newer versions of webkit-gtk are used which use geoclue2. If you were able to uninstall geoclue without error, then nothing you had installed needed it.

We should still fix the problems.

Yes, geoclue will fail to build for all users at this time.

Note that netpbm has nothing to do with this. netpbm does not require geoclue. However, after installing or upgrading any port, MacPorts checks if any ports are broken, and it found geoclue was broken, and tried to rebuild it, which will fail until we solve this problem somehow.

I expect this would also apply to the other ports that depend on gpsd: marble and viking.

Many ports require webkit-gtk3-2.0, and then geoclue, to work properly!

If these ports were going to ask webkit-gtk3, and then geoclue2, everything should work!

[basmac]

We are in the same situation webkit-gtk3 cannot be removed (4+ other ports rely on it) and it needs geoclue.

webkit-gtk-2.0 geolocation support using geoclue was made a non-default option in r135273. Use +geolocation to re-enable. This allows the default build to proceed without error.

geoclue gpsd support disabled in r135300. This old version of geoclue will not build with gpsd API 6.0+ (gpsd 3.12+). Current geoclue2 versions no longer support gpsd, so this makes the two behave in a similar fashion. This change allows the webkit-gtk-2.0 +geolocation option to build (without the gpsd suport) if desired.

These changes, of course, apply to subport webkit-gtk3-2.0 as well.

webkit-gtk3-2.0 is used when your C++ library is libstdc++. Usually, this is the case on OS X 10.8 and earlier.

webkit-gtk3 is used when your C++ library is libc++. Usually, this is the case on OS X 10.9 and later.

That's what I meant when I said "webkit-gtk [is] still used on older systems, but if you have a newer system, then newer versions of webkit-gtk are used which use geoclue2".
