bug#5252: 23.1.90; configure prevents the use of MacPorts packages |
|
Date: |
Sun, 20 Dec 2009 21:39:44 +0100 |
Hello!
Two package management systems, Fink with its /sw root and MacPorts
with its /opt/local root, provide useful software packages for Mac OS
X. GNU Emacs' configure script hard-codes /sw (line #2729ff):
## Apple Darwin / Mac OS X
*-apple-darwin* )
case "${canonical}" in
i[3456]86-* ) machine=intel386 ;;
powerpc-* ) machine=macppc ;;
x86_64-* ) machine=amdx86-64 ;;
* ) unported=yes ;;
esac
opsys=darwin
# Define CPP as follows to make autoconf work correctly.
CPP="${CC-cc} -E -no-cpp-precomp"
# Use fink packages if available.
if test -d /sw/include && test -d /sw/lib; then
GCC_TEST_OPTIONS="-I/sw/include -L/sw/lib"
CPP="${CPP} ${GCC_TEST_OPTIONS}"
NON_GCC_TEST_OPTIONS=${GCC_TEST_OPTIONS}
fi
;;
This prevents the use of C header files in /opt/local/include and of
libraries in /opt/local/lib. Even when I use "--x-libraries=/opt/local/
libs --x-includes=/opt/local/include/X11" it ends in invocations like
gcc -I/sw/include -L/sw/lib -c ...
and I continuously run into the bugs #3895 and #5250. Without patching
the configure script I cannot even compile temacs.
When I now comment the above Fink related block in configure and
perform configuration with
./configure --without-sound --without-pop --without-dbus --x-
libraries=/opt/local/libs --x-includes=/opt/local/include/X11 --enable-
locallisppath=/Library/Application\ Support/Emacs/calendar23:/Library/
Application\ Support/Emacs CPPFLAGS="-no-cpp-precomp -I/sw/include"
CFLAGS="..." LDFLAGS="-dead_strip -multiply_defined suppress -L/sw/lib"
(paths to Fink are included because GIF, JPEG, TIFF, and RSVG
libraries are in Fink – and also in some Mac OS X frameworks) still
resources from MacPorts are not used because their paths are appended
and therefore files are searched in /sw before /opt/local. The only
cure is to patch the above with /sw -> /opt/local. So might be useful
to add configure switches --with-Fink and --with-MacPorts on Mac OS X...
BTW, configure checks many times for pkg-config:
configure:11340: checking for pkg-config
configure:11358: found /opt/local/bin/pkg-config
configure:11371: result: /opt/local/bin/pkg-config

I have commented out this code, opened a new bug about finding a
way to bring in back in some improved form, and am closing this report.
