gmic-lib-3.3.2_0+x11.darwin_19.x86_64 - build error - build failure

[MeNdMont (MeNdMont)]

Log attached.

Current active gmic ports are

port -v installed gmic
The following ports are currently installed:
  gmic @3.2.4_0+x11 (active) requested_variants='+x11' platform='darwin 19' archs='x86_64' date='2023-04-30T11:30:56-0700'

First error in the log appears to be:

:info:build Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64:

final error message is

:error:build Failed to build gmic-lib: command execution failed
:debug:build Error code: CHILDSTATUS 84155 2

The first thing I noticed is that the main.log file lists your machine architecture as i386 while your are attempting to install the x86_64 binary.

The second, possibly more important issue, is that you haven't run sudo port sync in a while, as the current version of gmic is 3.3.2. Likely other packages gmic depends on need to be updated.

​https://ports.macports.org/port/gmic-lib/details/ shows gmic-lib to have a clean build on Big Sur (x86_64).

[MeNdMont (MeNdMont)]

I believe that my machine is x86_64, based on the result of this query.

getconf LONG_BIT
64

Is this a configuration issue in Macports?

I sync the port tree and got the same result.

At least your machine is building the correct version.

A quick search has found a missing dependency: ilmbase.

I've never seen this error, but trace mode no longer works on my build machine, and I have ilmbase installed.

In 26232abb58882fdc95052dabd1c121b7d9dcc6e0/macports-ports (master):

gmic: add ilmbase dependency

See: #68876

[MeNdMont (MeNdMont)]

I manually installed ilmbase, cleaned gmic, and got what appears to be the same error. New log attached.

Replying to Schamschula:

[Schamschula (Marius Schamschula)]

It's been a while since I looked at ilmbase and openexr. It seems the later has subsumed the former. Hence I added the wrong dependency.

You probably should to uninstall ilmbase.

[Schamschula (Marius Schamschula)]

openexr was already in the dependency list. Si I'm at a loss what's going on here.

Can you run sudo port diagnose, and paste the output here?

Replying to Schamschula:

The first thing I noticed is that the main.log file lists your machine architecture as i386 while your are attempting to install the x86_64 binary.

You misinterpret the log. At that point in the log, MacPorts is printing the value of ${os.arch}. The only values you will ever see for that option are arm, i386, and powerpc. They only indicate the general processor architecture, not the bitness.

[MeNdMont (MeNdMont)]

It appears that something changed and now it builds.

gmic just built when I ran port upgrade outdated

Do you have HomeBrew installed?
