I obviously didn't need XFree86 with the outgoing versions of
expat, freetype, pcre and php5 ... so why is it now a prerequisite?
The following is the Terminal output which has all been produced
without intervention since the sudo port upgrade outdated
instruction.
Short answer: "sudo port sync" and then "sudo port upgrade php5".
X11 is no longer required by php5, as of today. You caught the
update at a bad time; php5 only required X11 for a period of about
28 hours.
Long answer: php5 has always been built with support for gd2, and
the php distribution has always included a copy of gd2. When my
comaintainer Jyrki updated php5 to 5.2.3 in r25792 on 2007-06-02
05:17:19 -0500, a dependency on the gd2 port was added, because php
would not build correctly with its built-in gd2 for some reason.
The gd2 port requires an X11 installation, and as the message said,
your Apple X11 installation was incomplete as far as MacPorts was
concerned. So it tried to install XFree86, but that conflicted with
the parts of Apple X11 that you already had installed. To fix that,
you could either install all of Apple X11 (you need both X11SDK.pkg
from the Xcode installer disk image, which is installed by default
when you install Xcode, and X11User.pkg from your Mac OS X DVD,
which is not installed by default when you install Mac OS X) or
remove all of Apple X11 and install XFree86. I recommend using
Apple X11, if you need it. But you don't, not for php5, because as
of r25841 of 2007-06-03 09:18:20 -0500 php5 no longer depends on
the gd2 port -- a solution was found to let php5 use its built-in
gd2 again -- so you can just "sudo port sync" and then "sudo port
upgrade php5" as usual and MacPorts will no longer attempt to
install any X11.
Yes,
one can see the php.net ticket at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?
id=41555. They fixed something else, and broke the build by modifying
the configure script to try to load something with an empty -L
switch. But now the fix is in place, both in our port and in php
sources. Sorry for the mess!
At next release the patch is not needed anymore.
