Plugins fail to build on osx-packager: libexif libtool problem?

[mythtv@…]

osx-packager builds work only if noplugins has been specified. With plugins enabled, the build dies in trying to make libexif, with the messages quoted below.

Directly unpacking libexif and running configure inside it results in a successful build, though I note that in building it uses ar rather than libtool. Also for what it's worth it does not default to setting LIBINTL, POSUB or USE_NLS whatever those are.

This is the limit of my autoconf- and makefile-fu.

but this is on a Core Duo machine (i.e. 32bit). I will try on a 64bit machine tonight.

On a Core2Duo (which forces the -m32 flags), under 10.5.8, it also builds libexif OK for me:

so I suspect your Mac has some Fink packages installed, or DYLD_LIBRARY_PATHS set in the shell, or something else weird in the environment?

[mythtv@…]

I made some real sleuthing progress here. (No Fink and nothing weird in the environment. I created a new user account and rebuilt just to be sure.)

I dug further by comparing this failed build on a Mac Pro to an attempted build on a Mac Mini. A major difference is that the Mac Pro system enjoys a copy of libintl whereas the Mac Mini lacks it.

/usr/local/include/libintl.h
/usr/local/lib/libintl.3.4.3.dylib
/usr/local/lib/libintl.3.dylib
/usr/local/lib/libintl.a
/usr/local/lib/libintl.dylib
/usr/local/lib/libintl.la
/usr/local/share/gettext/libintl.jar

I moved libintl aside and the build then completed. I'll file a more specific bug report accordingly.

The Mac Mini build fails, on an undefined symbol

_sem_timedwait

. If I can get better info I'll file on that one.
