Firefox needs libpng12

Deleted member 2077 · Aug 5, 2010

Firefox fails to compile, saying it needs libpng12.

In /usr/ports/graphics/png I installed that, but says it's libpng 1.4.3

How do I install libpng12? Thanks.

firefox:

Code:

fire2# cat distinfo

libpng

AUTHOR: dinoex@FreeBSD.org

The PNG library has been updated to version 1.4.1. Please rebuild all
ports that depend on it.

If you use portmaster: make sure you update to portmaster version 2.20 or
newer, then do:

portmaster -r png-

If you use portupgrade:

portupgrade -fr graphics/png

www/firefox uses bundled libpng12 under WRKSRC/modules/libimg/png/. In order to use system/external libpng14 you'd have to compile graphics/png with APNG option and hack the port a bit (e.g. ports/146231).

But the error you're seeing is due to graphics/cairo still depending on libpng12.

I have no idea what any of this means. I don't use portupgrade or portmaster.

Also, why is there 3 different port "managers"?
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ports-using.html
Which port "manager" is the official FreeBSD approved and supported one for doing things?

Why doesn't 'make; make install' just work, I thought that is how ports were handled in FreeBSD?

I tried rebuilding cardio and it failed:

The cause of your build failure is not known to gnomelogalyzer.sh.  Before
e-mailing the build log to the FreeBSD GNOME team at freebsd-gnome@FreeBSD.org,
TRY EACH OF THE FOLLOWING:

  * If you are generating your own logfile, make sure to generate it with
    something similar to:
          "make 2>&1 | tee /path/to/logfile" (sh/bash/ksh/zsh) or
          "make |& tee /path/to/logfile" (csh/tcsh)
        * Make sure your cvsup(1) configuration file specifies the 'ports-all'
          collection
        * Run cvsup(1) and attempt the build again
        * Check /usr/ports/UPDATING for information pertinent to your build
          failure
        * 99% of the commonly reported build failures can be solved by
          running "portupgrade -a"
        * Read the FAQs at http://www.FreeBSD.org/gnome/
        * Search the archives of freebsd-gnome@FreeBSD.org.  Archives can be

If you have not performed each of the above suggestions, don't bother asking
for help.  The chances are good that you'll simply be told to perform one of
the aforementioned steps.

I'm just trying to install fire fox. I have no idea why it's trying to reinstall my samba. There is no good reason why Samba should be any way involved when installing firefox. That seems like an absurd way to manage packages.

Because people don't always agree, and monocultures are bad. portmaster is probably the closest to "official"

make install works fine unless you have some outdated ports already installed. If the new software you're trying to install depends on newer versions of those other ports, it fails.

portmaster/portupgrade try to help automate the process of upgrading those old ports.

ok, thanks. portmaster it is then.

I tried this as suggested:
portmaster -r png-

(using newest portmaster from /usr/ports/ports-mgmt/portmaster)

This might take awhile, it looks like it's going though a lot of things and updating them.

Actually, a lot of these are coming up with a text GUI to configure some ports. Is there anyway to just accept default config? I didn't see anything in the man page about this. I don't want to sit here hitting [enter]. --force-config, is that what I want?

edit:

hrm, portmaster -r png- is failing with:

Always read /usr/ports/UPDATING before you start updating. There's an entry in there just for GMP.

And use

Code:

 tags for system output ... you should really know that after 51 posts and ~2 years.

ok, gmp is installed and re-doing all the -r png stuff.

I'm not clear on why I can't have two versions of libpng installed? What everything was using and what is required by firefox.

Also why does firefox/cario need libgpng12 when it's been officially deprecated in the ports? Shouldn't everything that needs libpng be transitioned and tested on new version before deleting the old one?

This is really odd. After that finished, it broke bash, saying it couldn't find libintl.so.8.

I did make install for bash and that fixed it, but also broke courier-imap. I remade both courier-imap and authlib, but still getting this even after reinstall/restart:

Code:

Aug  5 19:44:14 fire2 imapd-ssl: /libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libintl.so.8" not found, required by "libidn.so.16"

How do I find what port libintl.so belongs to?

wblock@ · Aug 6, 2010

libintl.so is part of devel/gettext (see UPDATING). When you have old ports, you should go back in the UPDATING file to the last time you updated and work forward from there. Since a lot of things depend on gettext, you'll end up rebuilding a lot of ports. The good news is if you use portupgrade you won't have to rebuild a port multiple times. portmaster doesn't use a database to keep track of things, so sometimes it rebuilds a port multiple times.

SPlissken · Aug 9, 2010

Same problem for me when triyng to install grisbi
It complains about libpng12.pc but libpng14 is installed
Don't know what to do.
With netbsd , i have both installed

Firefox needs libpng12
