inkscape: installation failure to version 1.1.2

[githubbjs (BJS)]

inkscape fails to build.

After cleaning and uninstallation of Inkscape @0.92.5 I tried to install the recent version 1.1.2 (on High Sierra 10.13.6).

Hi, can you see if inkscape-devel solves this problem? (It is a 1.2.0 pre-release.)

[evanmiller (Evan Miller)]

Also, it would help if you attached the entire build log. The only thing I can think of off the top of my head is it's not using the right lib2geom headers, but that could be irrelevant.

[githubbjs (BJS)]

main.log

[githubbjs (BJS)]

I also tried Inkscape-devel @1.2.0 without success (same error).

[evanmiller (Evan Miller)]

Hmm. It's building fine on High Sierra on the build bots. It looks like you have the latest Xcode, but the Clang version (10.0.0.10001044) may be slightly out of date. Looking at this thread:

​https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/120456

It appears that the Clang in Xcode 10.1 is actually newer than the Clang that comes with Command Line Tools 10.1. So maybe you can use xcode-select to switch to Xcode's clang. This page has some details:

​https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/technotes/tn2339/_index.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/DTS40014588-CH1-HOW_DO_I_SELECT_THE_DEFAULT_VERSION_OF_XCODE_TO_USE_FOR_MY_COMMAND_LINE_TOOLS_

Hopefully that will solve it, but the issue is probably worth reporting upstream since Inkscape is supposed to support 10.13.

@evanmiller: thx a lot for the hints.

Changing clang version with sudo xcode-select -switch /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/ compiles now Inkscape but nothing happened after calling it from terminal.

Hmm. Well, building is a good step, but obviously not enough. Are there any messages in the system log? Does inkscape exit or just hang with nothing on screen? Is X11 started?

[githubbjs (BJS)]

it just hang with nothing started. No X11 is activated. I also tried a clean Inkscape-devel installation (with same result) and I have also changed variants (I tried +quartz and +universal each deactivated +x11) without success.

[githubbjs (BJS)]

What system logs are needed?

[evanmiller (Evan Miller)]

Usually /var/log/system.log will have some info.

[githubbjs (BJS)]

after rebooting and new installation both variants +x11 as well as +quartz are working now (but the resolution is not the best which is not related to this ticket). /var/log/system.log had no relevant messages. Thx again @evanmiller.

[evanmiller (Evan Miller)]

Strange that rebooting fixed it, but I'm very glad to hear it's working now! Please open a new ticket if anything in Inkscape 1.1.2 isn't functioning as expected and might be a MacPorts issue (e.g. missing Python libraries). I did some basic testing but nothing too thorough.
