mpv @0.29.1_10: failed to configure

[mrkapqa]

Hello ,

i still get error for mpv on mavericks

--->  Attempting to fetch mpv-0.29.1_10+audiocd+bundle+dvd+libarchive+network+opengl+osd+python27+rubberband.darwin_13.x86_64.tbz2 from http://nue.de.packages.macports.org/mpv

Error: Failed to configure mpv: configure failure: command execution failed

hope there is a solution available;

the error seems to be:

waf: error: no such option: --nocache

that is likely related to this commit where the --nocache was changed to be a configure.post_args and the removal of this argument in the mpv should likely become configure.post_args-delete --nocache

[reneeotten (Renee Otten)]

can you try:

cd `port dir mpv`
sudo vi Portfile

and change on line 69: configure.args-delete to configure.post_args-delete

then do:

sudo port clean --all mpv
sudo port install mpv

and let us know if that solved the issue?

Thank you Renee Otten,

this has been solved. Now it is functioning :)

okay, I can commit that change later tonight or in the weekend. I guess the only question is whether the “-nocache” option should be added by the PG as default. It doesn’t seem supported by some versions of waf, but I haven’t looked in detail to see which versions can ise it and how many ports actually use the waf PG.

multimedia/mpv: delete --nocache argument from configure.post_args instead of configure.args.

Fixes: #59164

Sorry, I didn't realize there were ports that removed this option. I'll fix the others.

The comment in the mpv port says that "current waf doesn't support --nocache anymore" so indeed maybe the portgroup shouldn't be setting it at all.
