librsvg @2.54.4: build fails for big sur; doc generation fails

[M-Rick]

I am trying to build ports that depend on librsvg. I always get the same error.

It looks like you don't have the full version of Xcode installed, only the command-line tools:

sysinfo Xcode none

Can you install the full version of Xcode, matching the CLT? It looks like you might be using version 13.0, but you can verify via xcodebuild -version.

Once that's been done, run sudo port clean --work --logs librsvg, and then try installing again.

[mascguy (Christopher Nielsen)]

You should also try forcing a binary install via sudo port -b install librsvg. That way, it won't have to be built at all.

I really like the idea because it reminds me the apt command in Ubuntu, but unfortunately, it failed 😞

Install as a binary sudo port -b install librsvg

I installed the complete version of Xcode. But same result, failed again 😞

With the full release of XCode

Ah, from the logs, I just noticed you installed MacPorts in a custom location:

/opt/local/gnome

And while that shouldn't cause any technical problems, there is one major consequence: Every single package must be built from source.

Was that intentional?

No worries regardless, though. I'll re-review the logs, and do some more digging.

[mascguy (Christopher Nielsen)]

Reviewing the logs, I noticed one key item: Version 2.54.4 is being installed, which suggests your ports tree is outdated. The current version is 2.54.5, and includes a change to specifically fix the issue you're encountering.

Can you update your ports via sudo port selfupdate, and then upgrade all installed ports via sudo port -N upgrade outdated?

Finally, once that's been done, try re-installing librsvg.

Yes because I didn't want to break my existing MacPorts installation.

No worries, everything should still work fine. Let me know how things look, after you've updated and retried the install.

[mascguy (Christopher Nielsen)]

Closing, since this is the same problem fixed via issue:65741.

If you're still encountering issues after updating, please let us know.

This It worked. libsrvg has built without problem. Thank you for your help.
