Porting pythonocc-core

[HayPhil]

I am trying to port pythonocc-core.

I created a jail with freebsd-14.3-RELEASE for this.
The output of make build brings following error:

The installed Perl 5.40 version is 5.40.2

Having a look at FreshPorts show:

I am a bit surpised, 5.40.2 exists as package and is installed with pkg install git.
What could be a workaround for this?

 

[SirDice]

The installed Perl 5.40 version is 5.40.2

No, it's 5.42.0, /usr/local/bin/perl5.40.2@ is a symlink and probably a dangling one now. Look at ls -l /usr/local/bin/perl*

Ah, I think I see where you went wrong. You've mixed quarterly packages (where Perl 5.40 is the default) with a recent (aka latest) ports tree (where 5.42 is the default).

ports - FreeBSD ports tree

cgit.freebsd.org

 

[HayPhil]

I installed perl 5.42 after (with pkg install) to try to solve the problem.

The port tree is 2025-Q3

 

[SirDice]

What does git -C /usr/ports branch show?

 

[HayPhil]


[root@14_3_release /usr/ports/cad/pythonocc-core]# git -C /usr/ports branch
* 2025Q3



 

[SirDice]

Looking at it again, the confusion is probably caused by the port being updated to 5.40.3 but the packages haven't been built yet (or at least not distributed). Packages will always lag a little behind the ports tree as it takes time to build and distribute.

Last quarterly build started yesterday, finished 25 hours later, it included a package for Perl 5.40.3: https://pkg-status.freebsd.org/beefy20/build.html?mastername=142amd64-quarterly&build=5e9ac41ee645

In case you don't have IPv6:


Looks like those haven't been pushed to the package mirrors yet, or is in the process of doing so.

 

[SirDice]

On a side note, if you want to submit your port, make sure to work from main, not the quarterly branches.

 

[nxjoseph]

Can you share your Makefile too? Otherwise we can't help much.

 

[HayPhil]

Sure

This solved the original problem of Perl5.40, and also maybe not needed anymore. (Perl 5.42 is used)

I now run in some new troubles, (libxslt deprecated for example) or some recursion problems between gobject-introspection-bootstrap and glib (===> glib-2.84.1_3,2 depends on file: /usr/local/gobject-introspection-bootstrap/bin/g-ir-scanner - not found)

Before I post unneccessary details here, I think to upgrade the host to CURRENT, actually it is a 14.3 STABLE, and it could brings me some more flexibility.

Thread 'Which version of FreeBSD should I use if I want create a new port?'

Aug 25, 2024

I guys, I'd really want to try to became the maintainer of one of my favorite software which is Speedata Publisher, I have time to dedicate and I've gotten a spare laptop which is fairly recent (AMD Ryzen 2300 APU), and I wonder which version should I use to make the port, if the development release (aka current) or the stable release?

Also do I need to use Poudriere if I use a machine to explicitly create such port?

Thanks! ?

I had some success last week, I could:
-compile the source by installing the missing components with pkg install (in the host 14.3 stable).

And after this (in the jail 14.3-RELEASE):
-create the Makefile
-create the patch
-make fetch
-make extract
.make patch
-make build
-make stage

Now it fails to make build, and I must say I feel me a little bit lost...

Anyway, the previous Makefile had an big error in LIB_DEPENDS, another one in attachment which does not mean this one is correct.

I also do not use poudriere for now, I only use portlint.
My question now is would poudriere help at the stage of making the port?

poudriere-testport(8) does a lot of automated additional checking, the result is very informative.

Yes, indeed, and I also make some progress.
