Unable to reproduce using a build I made on 10.8 running on 10.9. It appears to be crashing on a particular frei0r plugin in /opt/local/lib/frei0r-1. You can try removing them one-by-one to see if their is a particular plugin causing the problem.

[mkae (Marko Käning)]

Thanks for the hint!

I've found these three plugins to be crashing the application:

rgbparade.so
scale0tilt.so
vectorscope.so

How to proceed?

[ddennedy (Dan Dennedy)]

The patches in ticket #39505 need to be checked in. Thought, it looks like the version number needs bump now. I have been using my local port with this change, which is why I did not crash. I have yet to migrate my macports install since upgrade to 10.9. So, it would take me a while to update the patches and test them. Can you help in this regard?

[ddennedy (Dan Dennedy)]

Actually, revision was bumped in that patch. I think that should be enough, right?

[mkae (Marko Käning)]

Yep, those patches do the job. Shall I commit those changes?

[mkae (Marko Käning)]

Done in r113609.

[mkae (Marko Käning)]

Since the three plugins crash kdenlive this ticket should not be marked closed and the behaviour get reported upstream instead.

[ddennedy (Dan Dennedy)]

Oh well, I have done all I am going to do on this. If you want to clutter your bug tracker with the bugs for upstream project bugs instead of just build-related issues, then so be it.

[mkae (Marko Käning)]

Yup, I just didn't want to forget about this one, since I am referencing it on ​https://trac.macports.org/wiki/KDEProblems/KDETickets and it appeared there as resolved up to now... And, no, I didn't want to make you do more on this! ;-)

[mkae (Marko Käning)]

Hi Dan,

I was wondering whether I should simply add

conflicts gavl

to the Portfile... That should fix it for everyone trying to install this port?

Marko

[ddennedy (Dan Dennedy)]

Is the problem that if one installs gavl manually before building the frei0r port, then the frei0r build sees gavl and builds the gavl-dependent plugins?

[mkae (Marko Käning)]

Dan, I haven't analysed this any further, just stumbled over this and thought I could avoid the trouble by not making gavl and kdenlive coinstallable. I have don't have any experience with all these ports and their (conflicting) inter-dependencies, sorry... :-/

[ddennedy (Dan Dennedy)]

Yes, I think so although it appears conflicts keyword is under-documented. In any case, probably the conflicts line should be added to frei0r-plugins/Portfile, not Kdenlive since it is frei0r upstream that has the optional dependency on gavl. I still have to migrate my macports install since the upgrade to 10.10. So, I can do it eventually, probably within a week or two. I like to test my changes since I do not edit portfiles on a daily basis. :-) Or, you can make and commit that change.

[mkae (Marko Käning)]

Dan, if you don't mind I stay patient and leave it to your testing. Yes, you're right, the conflicts should surely go to frei0r-plugins/Portfile then. Thanks for caring! :)

[ddennedy (Dan Dennedy)]

fix by adding conflicts gavl

[mf2k (Frank Schima)]

Assigning this to mk since he is the current port maintainer.
