Unable to build litecoind after update to Mavericks (OS X 10.9.2)

[rubymaniac]

Yesterday I updated (clean install) my mac to the latest OS X (10.9.2) and tried to build litecoind with no success. I am using homebrew to install the dependencies:

brew install automake autoconf berkeley-db4 openssl protobuf miniupnpc pkg-config boost

and are installing fine. Then I am cloning master-0.8 branch and patching as described in the docs: patch -p1 < contrib/homebrew/makefile.osx.patch.

After I cd src && make -f makefile.osx I get the following error regarding Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64

_VERSIONS_

1. autoconf 2.69
2. automake 1.14.1
3. berkeley-db4 4.8.30
4. boost 1.55.0_1
5. miniupnpc 1.8.20131007
6. openssl 1.0.1f
7. pkg-config 0.28
8. protobuf 2.5.0

I have seen this similar issue and have tried every possible solution those guys gave to no success :/ This is driving me crazy as I need this for my work and I am pretty stuck here. Any help is much appreciated :)

https://github.com/litecoin-project/litecoin/commits/exp-0.8.6.3-mark3 Did you try this branch?

Does any Bitcoin 0.8.x release build on Mavericks with homebrew?

[rubymaniac]

@wtogami No I haven't tried the branch you mentioned, although I managed to compile litecoind on Mavericks by compiling boost from source. I have documented it here for future reference.

[wtogami]

What version of boost is in homebrew? It sounds like there is a bug in homebrew.

[wtogami]

Note historically 0.8.x and earlier were built with macports so that is the only supported way to build this current version. 0.9+ will be supported by only Homebrew. If you can figure out how to fix Homebrew or adjust 0.8.x's makefiles to support Homebrew without breaking the legacy 0.8.x macports build then patches are accepted.

Test environment

1. Mavericks (OS X 10.9.2)
2. Command Line Developer tools for OS x Mavericks (version 5.1.0.0)
3. Macports 2.1.1 for Mavericks

What I have done for building:

1. sudo port install boost db48@+no_java openssl miniupnpc
2. git clone git@github.com:litecoin-project/litecoin.git litecoin
3. cd litecoin
4. cd src
5. make -f makefile.osx

[sikamedia]

I tried both homebrew and macports for the libs dependencies installation. It happened with the same compiling errors. It is not only wrong with homebrew packages.

[Kudos-Rewards]

Have the same error - did you get it working?

[Kudos-Rewards]

@rubymaniac could not get your fix to work
