Hi,
I am trying to install gimp and noticed that in the D-Bus 1.0.2 build
that it is "building unit tests" and then gives a warning:
NOTE: building with unit tests increases the size of the installed
library and renders it insecure.
NOTE: building with unit tests but without assertions means tests may
not properly report failures (this configuration is only useful when
doing something like profiling the tests)
Warning: Target configure has an undeclared dependency on pkgconfig
Now, this is a bit worrysome. Anyone know what the "unit tests" does
in D-Bus?
Also, with a number of the ports (libxml2, dbus, glib2, ...), when it
is going through the configuration, it looks for a fortran compiler
and cannot find one. I have both g77 (v. 3.4.4) and gfortran
(version 4.2.0) in /usr/local/bin, as well as gfortran-dp-4.0 in /opt/
local/bin (note: I am running on a G4 mac not an intel mac). I can
make a link of gfortran in /opt/local/bin, or I suppose in /usr/bin,
but am not exactly sure where it should point. I know certain ports
require the gfortran-dp-4.0 and that it has something to do with
talking to libraries created with gcc [at least I think this is the
reason]. D-Bus' configure has the statement: appending configuration
tag "F77" to libtool, and I am not exactly sure what that means either.
Does anyone have any insight or recommendations about what to do
regarding the fortran compiler and what it means that the installed d-
bus libraries are "insecure"?
Thanks,
- M.
