rpm: error: implicit declaration of function '__dbsrv_timeout' is invalid in C99

[bushrachet (Büşra Çetin)]

Before installing the rpm, i installed manually Command Line Tool for XCode 12.2 and neon as a dependency of rpm. When i do port install rpm, it is not able to built.

I tried also rpm54, but it's same.

Interesting. The first error shown in the log is:

:info:configure cat: stdout: Broken pipe
:info:configure cat: stdout: Broken pipe
:info:configure cat: stdout: Broken pipe
:info:configure cat: stdout: Broken pipe
:info:configure ./configure[38578]: eval: line 1: 8393: Abort
:info:configure configure: error: ./configure failed for zlib

I don't know what's going on there. But the log also contains a second build attempt which failed in a different way:

:info:build db_server_svc.c:591:1: error: implicit declaration of function '__dbsrv_timeout' is invalid in C99 [-Werror,-Wimplicit-function-declaration]
:info:build __dbsrv_timeout(0);}
:info:build ^

This is a more expected type of problem that we are more familiar with fixing.

So what is the expected solution to this?

I downgraded Xcode and CLT to 11.7 version, since error of implicit declaration of function was solved in other tickets by this way. But when i did it, it produced and error about xcode version: it must be 12..2 or greater.

Now I'm back on Xcode its CLT 12.2, and my new error:

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

My new main.log is attached. What is my fault?

Is there any progress on this? This error still exists with a fresh install of MacPorts on macOS 11.5.1.
