Error when compiling on OS X 10.6.7 w/ Git repo and MacPorts

[p3k]

Hi there

I tried to install OLA following the information at http://www.opendmx.net/index.php/OLA_on_OS_X using the MacPorts libraries and a fresh checkout via git – but I get an error after issuing make:

libtool: compile:  g++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I../../.. -I/opt/local/include -I../../../include -Wall -Wformat -W -Werror -Wconversion -W -I/opt/local/include/ -g -O2 -MT libolae131core_la-CID.lo -MD -MP -MF .deps/libolae131core_la-CID.Tpo -c CID.cpp  -fno-common -DPIC -o .libs/libolae131core_la-CID.o

CID.cpp: In member function 'std::string ola::plugin::e131::CID::ToString() const':

make[3]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1

Would be glad if someone could help.

Out of interest what does g++ --version return?

Strange, that's the same one I'm using. I've pushed a change to the
git repo, please update and try again.

Thanks, now the compilation continued but another error is popping up later:

PS. I tried if switching to another compiler might help (by using sudo port select --set gcc mp-gcc45) but I get the same error.

[Simon Newton]

You've got the OSSP version of uuid installed in
/opt/local/include/ossp/uuid.h . You can confirm this with

$ port list installed | grep uuid

Mac OS comes with it's own version of uuid so you don't need this.
That said OLA is designed to work with either, but the mac version in
/usr/include/unistd.h is overriding the ossp version. Let me see if I
can shuffle the header order and fix it.

In the meantime if you don't need ossp uuid you should remove it.

[p3k]

OK, deactivating ossp-uuid did the job and OLA compiled without further error. 

Thanks for your help!

I can confirm olad generally working now although one test failed when invoking “make check”:

RootLayerTest.cpp:50: Assertion

Test name: ola::plugin::e131::RootLayerTest::testRootLayer

assertion failed

- Expression: false

Failures !!!

This is fixed now (but you've uninstalled anyway which is the better solution).

[Simon Newton]

That's strange. Is it only that test that fails? Does the same thing
happen every time you run it?

What's you're firewall policy set to? If you machine blocks packets
this will fail.
