mapnik failed to build on 10.8.2

[myersjustinc]

Trying to install Mapnik on a Mac Pro (early 2009) with 10.8.2, but it isn't building for me.

The gist requested in the troubleshooting instructions is here: https://gist.github.com/4111928

There weren't any numbered make logs available, so I just included the config.log in ~/Library/Logs/Homebrew/mapnik; if there are any other files that might be useful instead, just let me know.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

Looks like a problem with the new Boost and ICU bottles.

[myersjustinc]

I know nothing about Boost and ICU, but I did attempt to build them from source instead of using the bottles to see if that would affect anything. Boost wouldn't build from source for me (I can add a ticket for that, too, if you'd like), but ICU built just fine.

Using ICU installed with brew install --build-from-source icu4c and Boost installed from the bottle, I get the same error in the same place. (The only difference in the output of HOMEBREW_MAKE_JOBS=1 VERBOSE=1 brew install mapnik is the mention of this open issue.)

[2bits]

Boost will build with the older icu4c-49.1.2, but the current one Homebrew updated to, 50.1, has API changes. For now, if you want to build with icu4c support, you will have to downgrade icu4c. Use this to examine your options:

cd `brew --prefix`
brew versions icu4c

[2bits]

Interesting is that boost-1.52.0 will build against icu-50.1 if you do this:

brew install --with-icu --with-c++11 boost

Don't know why, but there you go. Thanks for the bug report.

[MikeMcQuaid]

Perhaps we should default to c++11? This stuff is going to get used more and more.

[myersjustinc]

Thanks for that. I went ahead and used that information to build Boost from source as well, but Mapnik still wouldn't build despite neither Boost nor ICU being from a bottle anymore.

I've updated the gist with the new brew install log. The build fails in the same place, and I think it generally looks similar to how it looked before, except for some added references to -DBOOST_REGEX_HAS_ICU. I also tried it with --with-c++11 (even though I'm not sure that's a valid option for the Mapnik build), but I got the same results.

[2bits]

That pull request of mine may not work. The only proper way to do this from what I now have learned about c++11 compatibility is that we should leave boost the way it was and have you downgrade to icu4c-49.1.2 and use that with the unaltered boost formula. That builds a working boost like we've always had. Then using that, try to do mapnik again.

cd `brew --prefix`
brew rm -f icu4c boost
brew versions icu4c
git checkout c25fd2f `brew --prefix`/Library/Formula/icu4c.rb
brew install icu4c
brew install --with-icu boost
brew install mapnik

I'm trying this right on 10.8.2 with system Python.

[myersjustinc]

That worked great, @2bits; everything built just fine when I did that. Thanks for the help!

[adamv]

What's the status here? I don't use bottles on my current machines, and things seem to build from source, but I also don't have Mountain Lion to test with.

[myersjustinc]

I don't have access anymore to the machine I originally noticed this bug on (changed jobs), but here's what happened yesterday when I tried it on my own computer (also on Mountain Lion):

• I ran brew update followed by brew install icu4c, brew install --with-icu boost and brew install mapnik, and everything succeeded; when I actually tried to import mapnik from Python, though, I got this:

  Fatal Python error: PyThreadState_Get: no current thread Abort trap: 6

• Per the Mapnik docs, I checked which Python got used for building boost with otool -L brew list boost | grep python.*dylib | grep -i python, and I got this:

  /usr/local/Cellar/boost/1.52.0/lib/libboost_python-mt.dylib: /usr/local/lib/libboost_python-mt.dylib (compatibility version 0.0.0, current version 0.0.0) /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/Python (compatibility version 2.7.0, current version 2.7.2)

  Since I'm running a homebrew Python (2.7.3), that's probably the problem.

• When I try to install boost with HOMEBREW_MAKE_JOBS=1 VERBOSE=1 brew install --with-icu --build-from-source boost, sure enough, it decides on the system Python instead of my homebrew:

  ==> Downloading http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/boost/boost/1.52.0/boost_1_52_0.tar.bz2 Already downloaded: /Library/Caches/Homebrew/boost-1.52.0.tar.bz2 /usr/bin/tar xf /Library/Caches/Homebrew/boost-1.52.0.tar.bz2 ==> ./bootstrap.sh --prefix=/usr/local/Cellar/boost/1.52.0 --libdir=/usr/local/Cellar/boost/1.52.0/lib --with-icu=/usr/local/opt/icu4c ./bootstrap.sh --prefix=/usr/local/Cellar/boost/1.52.0 --libdir=/usr/local/Cellar/boost/1.52.0/lib --with-icu=/usr/local/opt/icu4c -n Building Boost.Build engine with toolset darwin... tools/build/v2/engine/bin.macosxx86_64/b2 -n Detecting Python version... 2.7 -n Detecting Python root... /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7

Any idea how I can get boost to build against the homebrew Python instead?
