When I try to

why is port

Replying to Peter_Dyballa@…:

Undefined symbols:
  "_stpncpy", referenced from:
      _format_parse in format-kde-kuit.o
ld: symbol(s) not found

I'll check if this happens on my older systems too.

?

Because gettext is in the recursive dependencies of gcc48 and gcc49, and MacPorts always upgrades dependencies first. One example: gcc48 and gcc49 both have a library dependency on mpfr, which has an extract dependency on xz, which has a library dependency on gettext.

Has duplicate #48315. I confirmed the issue on Leopard and Snow Leopard. I filed a bug report with the developers: ​https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?45527

We've implemented strnlen​ for old platforms as well. Is a similar fix sufficient for this port? It might even exist elsewhere in dports already.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

No, because here stpncpy is already implemented, it just isn't being used at this particular place.

main.log for gettext failure under snow leopard

[attie.raphael@…]

Similar problem here (just added main.2.log) after trying to install gcc 4.9 with

sudo port install gcc49

Failure occurs in gettext, with Undefined symbols: "_stpncpy" according to my main.log.

I also tried

sudo port install gettext

same issue.

Jeremy seems to have fixed this in r138553.

Jeremy seems to have fixed this in r138553.

Can confirm that this fix works on 10.6.8. Thanks to Jeremy!

Thanks Jeremy.

Looks like upstream fixed it ​a different way but I'm happy whichever way it's fixed.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Replying to larryv@…:

Jeremy seems to have fixed this in r138553.

This introduces a circular dependency (gettext depends on autoconf which depends on gettext; see #48332) so we need a different fix.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Eh, I'll handle it in #48332.

[ballapete (Peter "Pete" Dyballa)]

On PPC Tiger, Mac OS X 10.4.11, the build succeeded today.
