mpeg4ip won't build on Yosemite

[myk@…]

When installing mpeg4ip, the file can't be found on the default mirror servers:

:info:archivefetch --->  mpeg4ip-1.5.0.1_3.darwin_14.x86_64.tbz2 doesn't seem to exist in /opt/local/var/macports/incoming/verified
:msg:archivefetch --->  Attempting to fetch mpeg4ip-1.5.0.1_3.darwin_14.x86_64.tbz2 from http://packages.macports.org/mpeg4ip
:debug:archivefetch Fetching archive failed:: The requested URL returned error: 404 Not Found
:msg:archivefetch --->  Attempting to fetch mpeg4ip-1.5.0.1_3.darwin_14.x86_64.tbz2 from http://lil.fr.packages.macports.org/mpeg4ip

:debug:archivefetch Fetching archive failed:: The requested URL returned error: 404 Not Found

I obtained a copy of the file from a previous installation on another machine. Then ran into:

:error:checksum org.macports.checksum for port mpeg4ip returned: mpeg4ip-1.5.0.1.tar.gz does not exist in /opt/local/var/macports/distfiles/mpeg4ip

Again got the file from another machine.

When MacPorts tries to compile mpeg4ip the following files are misplaced:

:info:build ./../include/bitstrm.hpp:48:10: fatal error: 'istream.h' file not found
:info:build #include <istream.h>
:info:build          ^
:info:build 8 warnings and 1 error generated.
:info:build ./../include/istream.h:31:10: fatal error: 'backward_warning.h' file not found
:info:build #include "backward_warning.h"
:info:build          ^
:info:build 8 warnings and 1 error generated.
:info:build ./../include/istream.h:32:10: fatal error: 'iostream.h' file not found
:info:build #include "iostream.h"
:info:build          ^
:info:build 8 warnings and 1 error generated.
:info:build ./../include/bitstrm.hpp:49:10: fatal error: 'ostream.h' file not found
:info:build #include <ostream.h>
:info:build          ^
:info:build 10 warnings and 1 error generated.
:info:build sys_tps_enhcbuf.cpp:39:10: fatal error: 'fstream.h' file not found
:info:build #include <fstream.h>
:info:build          ^
:info:build 1 error generated.

I found all the files available on my machine. Once I copied them to the corresponding folders, mpeg4ip built fine and works well.

Hopefully, an easy fix as it appears to just be a matter of placing a few files in the right place.

In the future, please use WikiFormatting and Cc the port maintainers (port info --maintainers mpeg4ip), if any. Also, please attach the complete main.log file after running port clean on the port.

BTW, the binary not being found on the mirrors is totally normal and not an actual problem.
