Re: Cannot build glib2

if glib2 now links against dbus (and it seems at least one test does) then dbus will need to be added to the build deps of glib2 so that macports can work out the architecture matching needed to prevent this. I can't see any indication that any of the installed glib2 files link against dbus,

You can also look into how to use pkgconfig and cmake to find needed libraries. They can suffice for simpler header and library path additions, and often that might be all you need for a simpler project with just one or two things needed. K

If you are doing your own compilation using the compilers and libraries from MacPorts, you need to direct your build to use the specified tools, headers, and libraries. You can look at what MacPorts sets up itself for each build for a clue, for example this is setup for a generic build of

Re: For anyone looking for a worthy project -> not one of the boost ports can build universal x86_64/arm64, which prevents a lot of ports from building universal

2023-02-17 Thread Ken Cunningham
building boost 176 universal on my M1 bogs down in the selection of the assembly context files. All the correct assembly files are not included, so the link phase fails. It looks fixable, but have to sort out how to get them right.

At least some of the buildbot ghc builds might be fixable — one of them failed due to a missing png-config I believe, for example. Because of the way upstream builds ghc on macos, their older system support has become more limited. They use homebrew, and current systems, with an older

although the 10.9 one needed has not as yet been built it seems.You would also have to manually access and download the 10.9 binary on older systems, as the automatic mechanism to install it wouldn’t work where it’s needed.KOn Dec 22, 2022, at 05:02, Ken Cunningham wrote:they are thereIndex
