xorg-libXxf86misc 1.0.4: Failed to configure xorg-libXxf86misc: No package 'xf86miscproto' found

Description

Here's what I get when trying to install xorg-libXxf86misc (as a dependency for xorg-server):

# sudo port install xorg-libXxf86misc

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables XXF86MISC_CFLAGS
and XXF86MISC_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.

xf86miscproto has been replaced by xorg-xorgproto recently:

sudo port install xorg-xf86miscproto                                                                                                                                                               1 ↵

It seems as if that change has not been promoted to all required places in the ports tree and/or build system yet. Manually installing xorg-xorgproto does NOT solve this issue.

Please find the build and log folders attached for analysis.

I can reproduce this error when I try building from source, but somehow there is a binary available for 10.14.

Built against an older version of xorg-xorgproto perhaps?

xorg-xorgproto: revert to 2018.4 release as 2019.1 breaks xorg-libXxf86misc
Closes:#58658

comment:6 Changed 5 years ago by lhaeger (Lothar Haeger)

Just to complete the process for those not too deep into macports: if xorg-xorgproto @2019.1 is already installed (it's a dependency many ports have after all):

  1. run "sudo port sync"
  2. run "port list xorg-xorgproto" and verify the latest version in the tree is now 2018.4 again
  3. run "sudo port uninstall xorg-xorgproto" (which ill uninstall @2019.1 and likely break some other ports)
  4. run "sudo port install xorg-xorgproto" to install 2018.4 and provide the dependencies removed with step 3

Now installing xorg-libXxf86misc should work as well as installing higher-level ports like xorg-server

comment:7 Changed 5 years ago by cjones051073 (Chris Jones)

Steps 3. and 4. above are not required. I bumped the epoch when reverting back to 2018.4 so it is considered an update, and hence a simple sudo port upgrade outdated will suffice.

comment:8 Changed 5 years ago by lhaeger (Lothar Haeger)

That's good to know, thanks for the fix, btw! I might have tried "port upgrade xorg-xorgproto" too early when the server side tree was not yet updated and nothing happened. An hour later the above did the trick for me then, sorry for any confusion caused by my posting too quickly.

comment:9 Changed 5 years ago by yan12125 (Chih-Hsuan Yen)

xf86miscproto is declared "LEGACY" in the latest version (1). An alternative to downgrading the port might be adding --enable-legacy to configure arguments.

Replying to cjones051073:

Steps 3. and 4. above are not required.

Neither is Step 2 because it does not tell you anything useful in this case. The output of port outdated or port outdated xorg-libXxf86misc is helpful however.

So now we have the necessary steps documented for other "users" like me to find, goal achieved. :-)

Yes....

Guess now is a good time to try out that --enable-legacy option...

comment:16 Changed 5 years ago by chrstphrchvz (Christopher Chavez)

Note that --enable-legacy to xorg-xorgproto introduces a conflict with xorg-printproto:

Error: Failed to activate xorg-xorgproto: Image error: /opt/local/include/X11/extensions/Print.h is being used by the active xorg-printproto port.

comment:17 Changed 5 years ago by cjones051073 (Chris Jones)

OK, so then that is not an easy quick fix option.

As I have already reverted this once, and as Jeremy updated it this time, I am going to leave it to him to decide how to fix this.

Replying to chrstphrchvz:

Note that adding --enable-legacy to xorg-xorgproto introduces a conflict with xorg-printproto:

xorg-fontcacheproto is another conflict I found. Not sure those are the only possible conflicts, but once those were both deactivated then xorg-libXxf86misc could configure and install.

comment:20 Changed 5 years ago by cjones051073 (Chris Jones)

As far as xorg-libXxf86misc goes the number of ports depending on it is only two...

> git grep libXxf86misc
gnome/gnome-control-center/Portfile:                    port:xorg-libXxf86misc \
x11/xorg-libXxf86misc/Portfile:name            xorg-libXxf86misc
x11/xorg-libXxf86misc/Portfile:description     X.org libXxf86misc
x11/xorg-libXxf86misc/Portfile:distname        libXxf86misc-${version}
x11/xorg-libXxf86misc/Portfile:livecheck.regex libXxf86misc-(\\d+(?:\\.\\d+)*)
x11/xset/Portfile:                    port:xorg-libXxf86misc

So probably the best solution going forward is to look to removing these dependencies. Does xset or gnome-control-center really still need this ?

comment:21 Changed 5 years ago by cjones051073 (Chris Jones)

xset seems OK without the dep...

comment:22 Changed 5 years ago by cjones051073 (Chris Jones)

gnome port is also fine with the dep removed.

Will push an update committing this shortly. With this, nothing in the ports tree directly depends on xorg-libXxf86misc.

I cannot rule out other ports implicitly depending on it though, for instance I have already stumbled over xscreensaver that linked against it, even though it did not declare it as a dependency. rev-bumping should fix that.

Could it be possible that this issue is still causing https://travis-ci.org/macports/macports-ports/builds/563422410 to fail with xcode 7 and 8?

comment:25 Changed 5 years ago by cjones051073 (Chris Jones)

I don't see how.
