imagemagick not finding zlib/libxml2 on 10.9

[jeroen]

Building imagemagick with --enable-static --disable-modules --with-fontconfig=yes. Since a few days I am getting an error below. It looks like libMagickCore is missing -lz somewhere?

==> ./configure --disable-osx-universal-binary --prefix=/private/tmp/homebrew/Cellar/imagemagick/6.9.5-1 --disable-silent-rules --disable-shared --enable-static --without-modules --with-fontconfig=yes --disable-openmp --without-gslib --with-gs-font-dir=/private/tmp/homebrew/share/ghostscript/fonts --without-pango --without-openjp2 --without-x --with-freetype=yes

The problem is that the configure script is not picking up in system libraries:

checking for ZLIB... no
checking for XML... no

I think this is related to @DomT4's change in pkg-config path in 289b677. I noticed there is a space in pc_path that shouldn't be there I think? Maybe this is tripping up the configure script?

jeroen$ pkg-config --variable pc_path pkg-config
/private/tmp/homebrew/lib/pkgconfig:/private/tmp/homebrew/share/pkgconfig:/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/lib/pkgconfig:/private/tmp/homebrew/Library/Homebrew/os/mac/pkgconfig/10.9 /private/tmp/homebrew/lib/pkgconfig:/private/tmp/homebrew/share/pkgconfig:/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/lib/pkgconfig:/private/tmp/homebrew/Library/Homebrew/os/mac/pkgconfig/10.9

For a fully reproducible try installing imagemagick out of the standard directory:

BREWDIR=/tmp/homebrew
mkdir -p $BREWDIR
curl -fsSL https://github.com/Homebrew/brew/tarball/master | tar xz --strip 1 -C $BREWDIR
$BREWDIR/bin/brew install imagemagick

I think this is related to @DomT4's change in pkg-config path in 289b677

Only if you've updated homebrew/core without updating homebrew/brew. The change to the pkg-config formula only reflects where Homebrew's vendored .pc files now live.

--disable-modules

This isn't a valid argument syntax FWIW. You're looking for --without-modules.

Gist logs:

It's worth mentioning here that we don't CI test non-default options, so unless you know better, fontconfig could have been a broken option for a period already. This may seem to be the case, given the PR here (Tweaking Mike's changes, not mine 😉) doesn't resolve the build failure on this.

[jeroen]

Thanks. Actually the problem appears with the default options when building in a custom directory (I included a reproducible example on at least 10.9).

It was all working 2 days ago (I build daily on travis) and now the same formula fails. The only thing that has changed in pkg-config.

Are you sure the space in pc_path is intended?

[jeroen]

Updated gist-logs of building without fontconfig:

BREWDIR=/tmp/homebrew
mkdir -p $BREWDIR
curl -fsSL https://github.com/Homebrew/brew/tarball/master | tar xz --strip 1 -C $BREWDIR
$BREWDIR/bin/brew install imagemagick

Output: https://gist.github.com/jeroenooms/6b621e1c13523e3171abd13c3476f5a5.

[DomT4]

Are you sure the space in pc_path is intended?

Can you elaborate? I'm not seeing a space, either in the formula or on the printout?

~> pkg-config --variable pc_path pkg-config
/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/local/share/pkgconfig:/usr/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/local/Library/Homebrew/os/mac/pkgconfig/10.11

[jeroen]

The space only appears if brew is installed in a custom directory other than /usr/local. See my example (and output) above:

jeroen$ pkg-config --variable pc_path pkg-config
/private/tmp/homebrew/lib/pkgconfig:/private/tmp/homebrew/share/pkgconfig:/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/lib/pkgconfig:/private/tmp/homebrew/Library/Homebrew/os/mac/pkgconfig/10.9 /private/tmp/homebrew/lib/pkgconfig:/private/tmp/homebrew/share/pkgconfig:/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/lib/pkgconfig:/private/tmp/homebrew/Library/Homebrew/os/mac/pkgconfig/10.9

[DomT4]

jeroen$ pkg-config --variable pc_path pkg-config

Are you running two unique Homebrew's on that system? It's strange the path was printed twice, unless that's a copy-paste error?

@UniqMartin If you're around, I vaguely remember your Homebrew lives elsewhere, can you check for spacing in your pc_path?

See my example

Thanks. I don't always bother scrolling to the top of the page again, so letting me know if you've added extra info there is helpful.

[DomT4]

Can't encounter the spacing myself:

~> homebrew/bin/pkg-config --variable pc_path pkg-config
/private/tmp/homebrew/lib/pkgconfig:/private/tmp/homebrew/share/pkgconfig:/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/lib/pkgconfig:/private/tmp/homebrew/Library/Homebrew/os/mac/pkgconfig/10.11

Do you have PKG_CONFIG_PATH set in your env at all?

[jeroen]

Maybe that is not related then. You should be able to reproduce the problem by trying to build inside a temporary directory:

BREWDIR=/tmp/homebrew
mkdir -p $BREWDIR
curl -fsSL https://github.com/Homebrew/brew/tarball/master | tar xz --strip 1 -C $BREWDIR
$BREWDIR/bin/brew install imagemagick

After it's done you can just wipe the dir again rm -Rf $BREWDIR.

The problem looks slightly different on my macbook (10.11) than our build server (10.9) but they both fail at the linking step.

[DomT4]

Yeah, that was inside a temporary directory. Can you the whole process again afresh now that we've tweaked & merged Homebrew/brew@3560185?

[jeroen]

Thank you, it looks like Homebrew/brew@3560185 was indeed the culprit!

[DomT4]

Aye. pkg-config was pointing to the right place but Homebrew's environment wrapper wasn't allowing it to access there because the environment wrapper was pointing to somewhere else. Isn't refactoring fun.

[UniqMartin]

@UniqMartin If you're around, I vaguely remember your Homebrew lives elsewhere, can you check for spacing in your pc_path?

Sorry, wasn't around to check. But don't have the space, even when my Homebrew is in a state where pkg-config has been updated after the refactoring, but Homebrew/brew@3560185 hasn't been merged yet, so I guess I'm missing a piece of the puzzle. But if things are resolved now, that's great!
