meson fails to build if py3*-setuptools is not installed #52

Closed Tatsh closed 4 years ago

Tatsh commented 4 years ago

The log showed it was looking for setuptools. Solution for me was to install py35-setuptools at least temporarily.

Also, this package is out of date. MacPorts now has version 0.51.1.

Thanks, will look into it when I get a chance.

EDIT: I actually have some time right now. As you must have seen, the dependencies (build & run) on setuptools are already declared. I'm surprised that this didn't work for you, what variant did you install?

I think I may have had my system in a strange state at the time. I will close this for now.

I am not able to run a normal port upgrade outdated because I'm on Catalina and this means building everything from source. A number of packages in the main tree do not build (likely because they haven't been under any serious maintenance for a long time). Because I am dealing with this issue (where I upgrade packages individually), I may have had my system in a weird state trying to fix something else.

The joys of upgrading the OS way earlier than strictly necessary. If I wanted that I'd be running Gentoo or Arch ;)

Ran into this issue again. Trying to upgrade glib-networking (currently broken from source). Your Meson port does not pull in py3*-setuptools.

Workaround is to manually install py35-setuptools.

I was running into a strange error when trying to install glib-networking (from core) and could not really find related issues on Meson's issues. The patch I made patches the call to darwin_get_object_archs so the PosixPath object is cast to a string. Newer versions of Meson have this area of code different as of 3 months ago so this may have been fixed but it's not back-portable.

How so, my port doesn't pull in pyXY-setuptools?

Meson appears to be up-to-date according to livecheck, so I don't really see what the probem is here. As to glib-networking: does it no longer have the option to build with configure (autoconf/automake)?
