liblas: build failure

[kevinecahill@…]

I upgraded to Sierra and installed the Xcode stuff. The command

sudo port upgrade outdated

failed at this point:

--->  Computing dependencies for liblas

Error: org.macports.build for port liblas returned: command execution failed
Please see the log file for port liblas for details:

This log is not clean. Please run sudo port clean liblas, try building again, and attach the new log if it fails.

I just upgraded to Sierra and I also can't get liblas to build. I have attached a clean build log.

According to ​https://ports.macports.org/port/liblas the port should now build on 10.9 and newer? Is this still an issue?

Hi, I'm having trouble to execute port install liblas on Catalina. I've already executed port clean liblas, but it still fails with

Error: Failed to build liblas: command execution failed
Error: See /opt/local/var/macports/logs/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_macports_release_tarballs_ports_gis_liblas/liblas/main.log for details.

Please see the build log after clean was executed attached.

There are two completely different errors reported in this ticket:

1. the original one reported in 2016 on macOS 10.12 against liblas 1.7.0 which began:

error: typedef redefinition with different types ('struct GTIFS *' vs 'struct gtiff')

2. the new one reported in 2019 on macOS 10.15 against liblas "1.8.1.99" (which is actually 1.8.1 with upstream modifications up to 20190809):

:info:build Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64:
:info:build   "OGRSpatialReference::GetRoot()", referenced from:
:info:build       SetCitationToSRS(gtiff*, char*, int, geokey_t, OGRSpatialReference*, int*) in gt_citation.cpp.o
:info:build       _GTIFGetOGISDefn in gt_wkt_srs.cpp.o
:info:build       _GTIFSetFromOGISDefn in gt_wkt_srs.cpp.o
:info:build ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture x86_64

In the future, please make sure to file separate errors in separate tickets because they may have separate solutions that we want to track separately.

I have just updated liblas to 1.8.1-20200508. It builds fine on the systems not blocked by #60619 so I'm going to close this ticket. If you are still experiencing a build error with this version of liblas, please open a new ticket.

Replying to atzimler:

Please see the build log after clean was executed attached.

The log shows that a GDAL installed outside of MacPorts is being used. There are references to /Library/Frameworks/GDAL.framework in the log. Please remove that directory any anything else you've installed in /Library/Frameworks. See wiki:FAQ#libraryframeworks.
