The intention was that MacPorts gettext should not be doing anything with Java (#48651). When the gettext port was split into several subports (#58526) we only added the Java-disabling code to the gettext and gettext-runtime subports, but evidently it is also needed in at least the gettext-tools-libs subport. We should probably disable Java in all gettext subports, just to be safe, if that doesn't cause configure errors. We had the same problem with CSharp support which had only been disabled in some of the gettext subports (#65334).

Hi! Any update? A lot of ports depend on gettext-tools-lib...

[vrepetenko (VR)]

the problem is fixed by last macOS/Xcode command line update. ticket can be closed. thanks!

I can't reproduce this either:

% port -v installed | grep gettext-tools-libs
  gettext-tools-libs @0.21_0 requested_variants='' platform='darwin 22' archs='arm64' date='2022-12-25T19:23:20-0800'
  gettext-tools-libs @0.21_0+universal requested_variants='+universal' platform='darwin 22' archs='arm64 x86_64' date='2022-12-28T23:17:46-0800'

does it only happen if java is installed, or some similar special situation?

[kencu (Ken)]

doesn't seem to matter if java is installed. I installed the current java19 from Oracle, and then reinstalled gettext-tools-libs without issue.

% sudo port -v installed gettext-tools-libs
The following ports are currently installed:
  gettext-tools-libs @0.21_0 (active) requested_variants='' platform='darwin 22' archs='arm64' date='2022-12-29T15:34:36-0800'

so will close this as fixed, unless someone reopens with new information .

gettext-tools-libs: Don't try to use Java

We don't want it and it may cause build failures for some users.

Closes: #66286
