    I am following directions to install JavaHL bindings for Subversion from: http://subclipse.tigris.org/wiki/JavaHL

    It says to run sudo port install subversion-javahlbindings +no_bdb +universal when I do that I get an error

    :info:configure configure: error: Cannot compile JavaHL without a suitable JDK.
    :info:configure                   Please specify a suitable JDK using the --with-jdk option.
    :info:configure Command failed:  cd "/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_devel_subversion-javahlbindings/subversion-javahlbindings/work/subversion-1.8.1" && ./configure --prefix=/opt/local --disable-dependency-tracking --with-apr=/opt/local/bin/apr-1-config --with-apr-util=/opt/local/bin/apu-1-config --without-apxs --mandir=\${prefix}/share/man --with-serf=/opt/local --with-sasl=/opt/local --with-libmagic=/opt/local --without-gnome-keyring --enable-javahl --without-jikes --with-junit=/opt/local/share/java/junit.jar --without-berkeley-db

    I manually edited the Portifle and added the following to config.args:

    --with-jdk=/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.6/Home 
    

    I get the same error although I see that it did pass that argument to configure.

    How do I specify a JDK for this operation to use?

    I solved this problem by installing the latest version of Subclipse. I thought I had the latest installed through Eclipse Marketplace, but it was Subclipse 1.8.x. The latest is 1.10.x . I installed that using the Eclipse URL then running sudo port install subversion-javahlbindings with no options and everything works.

    I'm not evne sure the macports install of the javahl bindings is necessary.

    If you already have verified that your JAVA_HOME is pointing to the correct JDK, then try to export your variables with sudo's -E switch:

    sudo -E port install subversion-javahlbindings +no_bdb +universal

    osx - Error installing pkgconfig via macports
  • Greg K

    I installed Macports 1.8.2 from a DMG. That seemed to install fine. I ran sudo port selfupdate to make sure my ports tree was current. I then tried to install bindfs as I want to mount some directories in my OS X file system (like you can do with mount --bind in linux).

    pkgconfig and macfuse are two dependencies of bindfs. I had trouble installing bindfs due to errors installing pkgconfig, so I tried to just install pkgconfig, here's the debug output from sudo port install pkgconfig:

    I have only recently installed Xcode 3.2.2 (prior to installing macports). Am I right in thinking this the issue here:

    Re-installing Xcode with UNIX development tools enabled me to install pkgconfig.
