Error: Failed to fetch xkbcommon: The requested URL returned error: 404 Not Found

which is rather dated and fails. Is the port https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/tree/master/x11/i3 maintained?

There isn't a port called xkbcommon in the current ports tree, and i3 does not list that as a dependency:

% port info xkbcommon       
Error: Port xkbcommon not found
% port deps i3              
Full Name: i3 @4.18.1_0
Build Dependencies:   asciidoc, docbook-xml-4.5, pkgconfig, xmlto
Library Dependencies: cairo, dmenu, gettext, glib2, libev, libiconv,
                      libxkbcommon, libxkbcommon-x11, pango, pcre, perl5,
                      startup-notification, xorg-libxcb, xorg-xcb-util,
                      xorg-xcb-util-cursor, xorg-xcb-util-keysyms,
                      xorg-xcb-util-wm, xorg-xcb-util-xrm, yajl

Can you make sure your ports are up to date and attach your log if the problem persists?

comment:2 Changed 20 months ago by jenstroeger (Jens Troeger)

I updated my local ports before I attempted to install i3.

Also, the package libxkbcommon is a library

https://ports.macports.org/port/libxkbcommon/
https://ports.macports.org/port/libxkbcommon-x11/

and i3

https://ports.macports.org/port/i3/

lists both:

https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/blob/12d32da89a6d275f9de6dd4e4e4f3dc6c0aea369/x11/i3/Portfile#L41-L42

The question is, why is i3 pulling in the outdated lib and why is that failing. A little poking around:

https://github.com/xkbcommon/libxkbcommon/releases/tag/xkbcommon-0.5.0

The log is here:

Replying to jenstroeger:

I updated my local ports before I attempted to install i3.

Also, the package libxkbcommon is a library

https://ports.macports.org/port/libxkbcommon/
https://ports.macports.org/port/libxkbcommon-x11/

Yes, but your log says xkbcommon, not libxkbcommon. It looks like you have a local ports tree at /Users/savage/opt/ports, which is listed earlier than the official tree in your sources.conf, and contains this port and quite likely a modified i3 port.

comment:4 Changed 20 months ago by jenstroeger (Jens Troeger)

@jmroot Dang, you’re right! I removed cleared out the ~/opt/ports/ folder which contained an i3 and xkbcommon port and then I was able to build the i3 port.

However, it doesn’t run:

dyld: lazy symbol binding failed: Symbol not found: _cairo_xcb_surface_create
  Referenced from: /opt/local/bin/i3
  Expected in: /opt/local/lib/libcairo.2.dylib

dyld: Symbol not found: _cairo_xcb_surface_create
  Referenced from: /opt/local/bin/i3
  Expected in: /opt/local/lib/libcairo.2.dylib

Abort trap: 6

and I noticed that

cairo @1.17.4_0+quartz (active)

was built with the quartz variant (so is pango) whereas

> port info i3
i3 @4.18.1 (x11)

...

requires x11, and it doesn’t list _any_ variants. Could that be an issue?

comment:5 Changed 20 months ago by jmroot (Joshua Root)

Yes, it may well need cairo +x11. Depending on a variant isn't possible, so the best that can be done without refactoring cairo into separate subports for x11 and quartz components is to use the active_variants portgroup. Unfortunately the i3 port currently has no maintainer.

comment:6 Changed 20 months ago by jenstroeger (Jens Troeger)

I think I’m getting somewhere: added x11 as a variant to both:

  cairo @1.17.4_0+quartz+x11 (active)
  pango @1.50.7_0+quartz+x11 (active)

and then I could start i3. However, the i3bar doesn’t show and I’m trying to get that sorted.

That’s when I noticed that there’s no i3status port. So I installed the libconfuse port and the pulseaudio +x11 port, and built it locally. Did you want a ticket for that?

I suppose we can close this ticket then.

A GitHub PR is preferable for contributions, but a ticket also works.

OK, closing.
