audacious@3.8: Failed to install libftdi1 dependency, failed build on test_libftdi1 target; either bad or missing XML

[sanchezelton (Elton Sanchez)]

I am first time poster and new Mac acolyte but with decent (Ubuntu and CentOS) exposure. Loved using Audacious in lieu of WinAmp pushing digital flowers. Building a MacBook Pro running Sierra 10.12.2.

Followed instructions here for installation of Xcode, MacPorts, X server and command line tools to permit system to use port for building: ​https://lifeforms.nl/20140303/building-audacious-os-x-mavericks (Note: Link targets Mavericks, but was able get /opt/local/bin on my PATH to locate port by adding it to /etc/hosts)

Currently using zsh, and attempted to install: sudo port install audacious

Initially had issue building doxygen, but I ran 'port clean oxygen' and rebuilt and the build continued. The same approach is not working with libftdi1.

Output:

Error: Processing of port audacious failed

I looked at the main.log file referred to above and noted the like where things broke (see attached). What I saw relevant was at line 210:

:info:build make: *** [all] Error 2
:info:build make: Leaving directory `/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_devel_libftdi/libftdi1/work/build'
:info:build Command failed:  cd "/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_devel_libftdi/libftdi1/work/build" && /usr/bin/make -j8 -w all VERBOSE=ON 
:info:build Exit code: 2

I tried running make myself and got a permissions issue. I tried running the same make with sudo and the build was not successful. The location of cmake (used which cmake) agrees with the Makefile script, at /opt/local/bin/cmake). Error from make:

Built target test_libftdi1

make[2]: Leaving directory `/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_devel_libftdi/libftdi1/work/build'

make: Leaving directory `/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_devel_libftdi/libftdi1/work/build'

Thinking there was an XML formatting issue, I looked for but could not locate the ftdi_8c.xml file (used a recursive find from the /opt/local/var/macports directory), so it is either not present at all or elsewhere in my filesystem.

Please close this ticket; I had mistakenly created a duplicate.
