#44288 closed defect (fixed)

pyport.h FreeBSD/Mac OS X "fix" causes errors in C++ compilation

Reported by: mbrethen Owned by: jyrkiwahlstedt
Priority: Normal Milestone:
Component: ports Version: 2.3.1
Keywords: Cc:
Port: python27

Description

I have experienced build errors (example below) with pyport.h The issue is documented in Python's bug tracker here:

http://bugs.python.org/issue10910

The problem is that pyport tries to replace the ctypes definion of the isascii(ch) and related functions by a replacement that works better with UTF-8 on FreeBSD and OSX. That replacement is incompatible with the localfwd.h header.

A workaround is provided at the site, which I'm attaching.

In the future, please fill in the Port field and actually Cc the port maintainers by running the following command in Terminal to get them - (port info --maintainers python27).

I patched my local python installation and confirmed the issue resolved. I have uploaded patches for pyport.h and the Portfile.

I think python34 and python35 need the same kind of patch.

comment:5 Changed 9 years ago by kylegoetz@…

Is there anyone who can implement a similar fix for python34? I am having problems installing a package, and the package maintainer linked me to this and said this was the issue.

Have you tried patching it locally to confirm it works? See https://trac.macports.org/wiki/howto/PatchLocal

You can manually apply the change in the patch-Include-pyport.h.diff​ attachment to /opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.4/include/python3.4m/pyport.h and then try port install py34-graph-tool again.

I can confirm that the patch works for python35.

I suggest opening a new ticket for python3 with the patch and updated portfile.

Note: See TracTickets for help on using tickets.
