gdb @13.1+multiarch: crash when LC_MESSAGES is undefined

[tcwan (TC Wan)]

This was caused by gdb 13.1 +multiarch installed on macOS Sonoma running on MacBook Air (Apple Silicon), but I have seen ​similar error reports due to stringByStandardizingPath.

The workaround is to define LC_MESSAGES, but I believe it should be done centrally since it would affect multiple ports?

You're saying that running ggdb outside of MacPorts crashes unless LC_MESSAGES is set? MacPorts doesn't set environment variables that affect things outside of MacPorts but you can edit your shell startup file to do that if you want.

However, the issue you linked said the fix is to add -framework CoreServices when linking whatever program it is. This was also the fix we had to apply to curl; see #67953.

[tcwan (TC Wan)]

@ryandesign I don't know for which port / library the fix should be applied to address this properly.

Of course, a solution which does not require defining environment variables would be best, since that is difficult to enforce as a requirement.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Well, based on your report, apparently the gdb port or one of its dependencies needs this fix, but all software that links with CoreFoundation apparently as of macOS 14 now needs to link with CoreServices as well to avoid this problem so this probably affects many ports.

[tifrueh (Timo Früh)]

The aria2 issue you linked to is closed by now and it seems the problem was was solved by using the newest version of gettext, which is not yet available here on MacPorts. We're still on 0.21.1, I believe, while the latest release is 0.22.3. Might this be part of the issue?

(This is still a problem.)
