Can't build gettext 0.18_1

E

epoxy

Hello.. I am trying to update a server of mine and can't seem to upgrade gettext. I've updated my ports and even did a fresh 'portsnap fetch extract' on a newly created /usr/ports directory.

I also tried rebuilding the only dependencies gettext required (libiconv and libtool).

No matter what I do, I get the same exact error.

(gettext-0.17_1-> 0.18_1)

Try
Code: 
pkg_add -r gettext
Read this. Maybe help: http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?t=15759
 
I just build gettext as part of a bigger build and it built just fine. It doesn't look like the OP has any special compiler options turned on in /etc/make.conf. One thing I can think of is not having the correct version of libtool installed. Make sure it's devel/libtool22.
 
Thanks for the comments... and the nudge to post correctly ;)

libtool22 is installed (and reinstalled, etc!)

The only thing I have in make.conf is
Code: 
CLAMAVUSER=vscan
CLAMAVGROUP=vscan
OVERRIDE_LINUX_BASE_PORT=f8
OVERRIDE_LINUX_NONBASE_PORTS=f8
# added by use.perl 2009-11-07 13:14:23
PERL_VERSION=5.8.9
I have also tried the pkg_add route, but gettext-17 is what is there and is also what is installed.

And you are correct.. I have built gettext no problem on my other servers as well as in a VM... never coming to the same conclusion.

This is just a strange one :-/ I've never really encountered such a stubborn compile with _ports_. OF COURSE it had to be such a foundation package hehe
 
1... copy the two old .so. to /usr/local/lib/compat
2... in /gettext/ "touch __remove_stale_so_files.REMIND"
3... pkg_delete -f /var/db/pkg/gettext- [something] | tee -a gettext.deps
4... /bin/rm -rf work && make install
...
Here, the commands above are mostly coincidental, but the reason
for this post is, I had to deinstall gettext before it would
build. You might be facing the same issue.

hm, I tried following your suggestion (and plain reinstalling gettext)... but no luck.

jb_fvwm2: Did you get the same error I am experiencing?

Any debugging ideas? I have looked at the lines of code in question, but I don't see an immediate remedy. Thanks for all your comments so far.
 
no luck?
...
some things I try...
...
deinstalling the port first (sometimes pkg_create first)
building in sh or bash rather than the default shell
rebuilding dependencies
removing non default options
renaming /etc/make.conf
...
 
>>> Assuming you're using 7.x <<<<
This error is caused by a rogue /usr/include/spawn.h which might be left over if you previously tried to upgrade to 8.x and then downgraded back to 7.x later.
Remove /usr/include/spawn.h and gettext will build again.
Don't remove /usr/include/spawn.h if you're on 8.x!

Awesome... you are correct. I had tried the remote upgrade to 8 and failed.
 
I have the same problem:

I'm also using FreeBSD 7.4, and didn't notice that that release is no longer maintained, and encountered the same problem as you. I've resolved it by make ac_cv_header_spawn_h=no. I'm not sure why its configure script considers that <spawn.h> exists:
Code: 
checking for sched.h... yes
checking for signal.h... (cached) yes
[color="Red"]checking for spawn.h... (cached) yes[/color]
checking stdarg.h usability... yes
