Helo
to whoever, who wants to install the kile-devel port on OSX 10.4 Tiger:
That is not possible. I want to state this here, if someone plans to try
it.
But if ever there is someone who installed the kile-devel port on OSX 10.4
with success, I'm still interested, how you succeeded!
On the way to it, I have had help and advice by the MacPorts people, but
after installing - with help - automoc (one of the prerequisites) and
gtk-doc - I could not go further and finally gave up.
See if interested the threads on this macports.user list:
kile-devel port failed on Tiger
automoc install failed on OSX 10.4 intel
kile-devel & deps ports failing on Tiger OSX 10.4-intel
The last advice, I followed with success had been (see last row of the
message below):
"In the mean time, install the gtk-doc port to work around it."
So I have: gtk-doc @1.13_0 (active)
but no further $ sudo port install kile-devel
succeeded.

The last message I got from MacPorts' side had been:

This is a problem unique to Tiger that affected many ports. I think the
proper fix had to do with making sure the library is named on the link
line (e.g. making sure "-lzlib" is specified in LDFLAGS). But that
would involve editing the Portfile or maybe the Makefile, and a simpler
fix is to just go into /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk and make a
symlink "opt" there pointing to /opt, like this:
sudo ln -s /opt /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk/opt
Hi, I did this and after this, $ sudo port install automoc
run without errors.
Great!
So I'm very thankful. Supposing you are belonging to the MacPorts
developers, I propose to integrate this in a way into the port or to
give in the presentation/specification of this port (perhaps also
others) this advice, too (to prevent other users of MacOS10.4 to get the
frustration).
So we don't forget, I have filed a bug report for this problem:
http://trac.macports.org/ticket/23584
Hopefully in the future I will have time to reproduce this problem on
Tiger and work on the proper solution. But please understand that users of
Tiger will encounter increasing frustration with MacPorts as time goes on,
as port maintainers and software developers test with Tiger less and less
frequently because it is years out of date now. If possible, please
upgrade to Snow Leopard. I'm glad I did.
Encouraged I than run $ sudo port -d install kile-devel
which is the aim of my endeavor. It now seemed long to go well, but
unfortunately it ended after long installing and configuring processes
with:
-- Installing ./html/tutorial.html
-- Installing ./html/up.png
/bin/sh: line 1: gtkdoc-rebase: command not found
This is:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=562310
I have filed a ticket for this problem so that we can fix it:
http://trac.macports.org/ticket/23583
In the mean time, install the gtk-doc port to work around it.
