Re: Incompatible library version

[Chris Jones]

Do not set DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH, doing so is a bad idea. If MatLab requires 
this (is it really needed ??, I am quite surprised this is done into 
internals inside an application in /Applications), report this as a bug 
against MatLab...

Re: Incompatible library version

[Jeremy Huddleston Sequoia]

Contact Matlab.  There's no reason that they should require you setting 
DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH globally.  Was this done by an installer?  If so, shame on 
them big time.  Or was this done by you following some bad advise from some 
website?  If so, can you point me to that website, so I can help point them in 
the right direction?

Thanks,
Jeremy

Why?

I've already checked the temp of those waters. I know MacPorts comes from BSD 
originally, but I cannot say I felt right at home at once on PC-BSD in that 
aspect. Maybe MacPorts has been on a divergent evolutionary path from its BSD 
ancestor ...

There's also the question of hardware support, and software that exists for 
Linux but not BSD. I like the fact PC-BSD uses ZFS (so does my Linux box :)) 
but I'm not convinced about its choice as an OS for a generic 
desktop/workstation instead for server purposes.

Ok, so you have 2 options.

1. Downgrade qt4-mac to the version before the change in filesystem layout, and 
then you can activate your already-installed older version of 
openmodelica-devel and it will work. of course, you'll break all the ports that 
require the new qt4-mac layout, and if you want to continue using them, would 
have to downgrade them to pre-layout-change versions as well.

2. (probably the better option) Follow the InstallingOlderPort instructions, 
except where it tells you to look in the MacPorts Subversion repository's log 
to find which revision of the port to use, you'll instead be consulting the log 
of whatever revision control system the Open Modelica developers use for their 
ports, and you'll get the old version

Also, why no use Gentoo or other existing ports-based Linux variants ?

To me anything that uses "ports" is kind-of BSD by definition (or BSD
wannabe) so why not use the real thing to begin with! Being able to install
from binary and/or from fine-tuned source compile is priceless in my book.
Which of course can be done with most Linux variants (and pretty elegantly
if done correctly) it is never as elegant as a true ports system.

Anyway, just my 0.02 here. I am no expert in software distribution systems
by any means, but IMHO OS X and BSD seem a much better coupling than OS X
and Linux. Also, PCSBD is pretty cool:

Hardware support I don't believe is an issue, IMHO anyway, unless you have
very exotic hw.  You can run PCBSD on UFS too, but I think BSD will be more
compatible in general with your Mac, because OS X also derived mainly from
FBSD.

It just makes sense to me that if you use Mac and MacPorts any BSD variant
should be more attractive than a Linux one. Ubuntu and all it's derivatives
have become extremely bloated, but I guess it all dependes on your use
case. E.g. for a household user perhaps Linux is a better choice but if you
are developer or more technical user perhaps PCBSD is a better alternative.

I particularly dislike the way Debian derivatives _heavily_ modify original
software and I don't like their Perl Policy. I prefer the BSD-way where
original software is kept very closely to the original source. At the
beginning I thought dpkg was cool, but over time I prefer the ports way,
where software is only minimally modified and ported. Moreover, the binary
package managers in FBSD have been getting better and better over time and
are compatible with ports, something that I don't know of any Linux capable
of (i.e. you can interchangeably install something via ports or binary
package and to they system it's the same thing).

I don't know what to tell you. I don't completely understand your issue. 
InstallingOlderPort explains how to install an older version of a port. "sudo 
port install" does not support an "@version" modifier.

Maybe it would help if you told us what version of what port you're trying to 
build, and, since you said it's not hosted on MacPorts, where it's hosted, or 
where you got it.

Sure.  Sorry that my description was not detailed enough.
I have openmodelica-devel installed, and it was working fine.  And, I have 
often done upgrades with no problem.  
Some install details are here:  https://openmodelica.org/download/download-mac 

And, they keep the source code here:  
http://build.openmodelica.org/apt/pool/contrib/ 


Yesterday I upgraded qt4-mac.  That caused macports to determine that a few 
ports were broken (since qt4-mac seems to have changed the location of some 
files) and to cause them to rebuild.  One that it tried to rebuild was 
openmodelica-devel.  The problem is that I was not using the most recent 
version.  They upgrade every few hours typically, as this is develop code.  
Some recent change that they made has caused the recent versions not to build 
correctly.  The developers are aware of that, and it will get fixed eventually. 
 
So, I just wanted to keep using the version I had from a few days ago.  The 
problem is that macports saw the broken install of openmodelica-devel was not 
the newest so downloaded the new source and tried to build it, and failed due 
to the bug mentioned earlier.  Now the problem is that if I activate the older 
version (a few days old) it activates, but doesn’t run (because it linked 
against the old location of qt4-mac libraries).  
So, my current situation is I have old versions installed but not activated.  
And, I can’t get old ones to work, and I can’t build a new version, since there 
is a bug that is yet to be fixed in openmodelica.  
So, would like to do is to rebuild an old version from the source that was 
downloaded when I last did a successful upgrade and build.  Since that build 
worked, and left the source stored in macports, it seems like there should be a 
way to reactivate that version, but let it use the source and rebuild it, 
instead of just doing the typical activate from the binaries that macports 
build and saved.

Does that make more sense?

I don't need to have a front-row seat for everything. In fact, I much prefer a 
stable OS with LTS, one that I can work done on/with, rather than one on which 
I have to spend my time keeping it up to date. Coolness is really the last and 
least of my concerns, as opposed to "doesn't get in the way" and "you forget 
it's there".

Building Qt5 on the netbook in question takes between 12 and 24 hours 
(depending on how often I have to interrupt the process in order to be able to 
do other things, or how often it hangs because its 8Gb RAM isn't enough). You 
can imagine what the overhead of running something like Gentoo would mean.

For me, MacPorts is just an additional distribution system (and more of a build 
system) for certain things that I would otherwise build "by hand". That's also 
why I've made some changes to relax the principle of building as much as 
possible against libraries provided by MacPorts (into the opposite principle, 
in fact).

See, that's where you're wrong. MacPorts actively tries to NOT be a build 
system,
but a package manager. That's why we focus on getting things done the right way
and ensuring the tuple (os, port, variants) always behaves the same and builds
the same way. Please note that this tuple does not include "already installed
dependencies" or "stuff that's already in /usr/lib or /usr/local".

That's not the idea that most MacPorts developers currently have. It may suit
your expectations, but you're on your own.


Regarding your Linux endeavours… maybe Linuxbrew would fulfill your needs? I
don't see the manpower needed to support MacPorts on Linux appear anytime
soon.

port not installed according to registry, yet depends_lib didn't "react"?

[René J . V . Bertin]

Hey,

Something weird just happened. I had triggered an incremental rebuild (build 
and destroot) of a KDE4 port that depends on port:libical via depends_lib. The 
build system uses cmake, which detected that a re-configure was in order:

- cmake failed to detect libibcal
- upon verification, `port installed libical` confirmed this
- `port build` had *not* attempted to install the missing dependency (or if it 
did I missed it and it also had not updated the registry). It completed 
successfully from what I could see; I didn't use -p. (For the code, libical is 
an optional dependency.)
- I did have an image in var/macports/software/libical
- installing (a new version of) libical showed that (most) all files were still 
present under ${prefix}

I *really* that my update to 2.3.4 yesterday (from source) didn't cause ports 
to be dropped from the registry!

Apart from that, what could explain that no attempt to install the missing port 
was made OR that I didn't get an error?
Sadly the build log had already been overwritten when I realised I might have 
run into a bug.

Gentoo currently has 1240 orphaned packages and there only exists a very
small group of active proxy maintainers.

So I would not use Gentoo as any alternative...which pains me to say
because I used to love Gentoo.

Re: pet project : LnxPorts

Cal

You are misinterpreting what Rene is saying. He is not trying to garner
support for a Linux based Ports system, he is just sharing - after all he
did state 'pet project' in the title and also states very clearly that  "...
 this is not an announcement that I'll be forking off MacPorts to begin a
fully supported Linux variant! :)"

I personally disagree with blindly installing a pre-built package from any
type of package managing system. Simply because in my experience I do not
trust a package I do not build myself.

Several things bring me to this opinion...different hardware types, whether
specific variants are used, and yes, even the skill level of the person
building the package...because simply knowing how to run
configure/make/make install may not be enough to properly build a package
that can be distributed.

I prefer compiling myself...most newer systems can do this a lot quicker
now, and with proper patching done I have run into very little
issues...with most issues being trivial to fix myself.

Just my $0.02

We may not agree on the term, but it *is* a system that also allows to build 
(and install) a variety of packages/source projects with a unified syntax.

Never heard of it before, but if it's like HomeBrew on OS X it'll probably 
fulfil my needs just like that whatever-you-call-it :)
Or if it's like Gentoo Prefix and pkgsrc, it just won't work on Debian and 
Ubuntu.

An update to a python module port broke portindex. I believe they're

I meant the registry of installed ports, the much more complex one to restore.

Ouch, that's what you get from depending on "internal" software and not on 
something stable provided by the host :)
I sure hope they're working to fix what they broke!

Portindex is for indexing the available ports in a ports tree; is it also used 
to maintain the (sqlite) reqistry of what ports are actually installed? Fixing 
a broken portindex through a port update will be tricky, if the breakage is 
serious enough, btw.

What module and update were that? I have only updated base, but not done the 
usual selfupdate/upgrade outdated (since a long time, actually), so I should 
have noticed this before if it's not a recent update.

The problem with Tcl is you can't just read a Portfile, you have to *run*
it. Certain classes of bugs can derail the train. :(

Maybe that has (had) to do with the fact that you can install the newer version 
of a port, reactivate an older version, and not get bugged by port outdated 
about it?

Doubtful: `port installed libical` claimed the port wasn't installed. That 
shouldn't happen after deactivating a port.

Which part? The fact that portindex apparently uses a python module shipped 
through MacPorts, and that can be broken by someone who upgrades the module a 
bit overzealously?

How are you going to get `port outdated` to consider the fact a port has been 
updated if portindex is too broken to generate a valid port index?

Anyway, I understand now that it probably wasn't the portindex command that was 
broken (on every uptodate MacPorts install), but the port index wasn't rebuilt 
properly because of a syntax error in a Portfile.

I was under the impression that syntax errors were caught and excluded only the 
affected ports from the index? I'm pretty sure that's how it use(d) to work 
under 2.3.3 and before, in any case.

I know I've encountered situations where a port failed to build because one of 
its dependencies was inactive. I'm sure I had forcibly deactivated it at some 
prior time for some forgotten reason. I don't know why MacPorts wouldn't have 
reactivated it, but it didn't. Maybe that kind of thing is what happened to 
you. The solution is to reactivate the port.

Eneko,

The .dmg package for Gimp 2.8.2 is rather out of date. The MacPorts version 
2.8.14 corresponds to currently available source code.

Also note: you will want to install Gimp-app as well (this adds the OS X icon, 
etc.)

Hi,


14 is a higher number than 2, so 2.8.14 is newer than 2.8.2 - You will

That does not occur.
