BUG: tftp-hpa doesn't build

[seph@…]

I'm new to this project, so I hope I'm reporting this to the right place. I'm sorry if I directed it wrong.

When I try to install tftp-hba, the build fails when making the libs. It produces this error:

echo \#define VERSION \"tftp-hpa `cat version`\" > version.h
make -C  lib
rm -f libxtra.a
ar cq libxtra.a 
ar: no archive members specified
usage:  ar -d [-TLsv] archive file ...

Poking around a little, this seems related to the LDFLAGS='-L/opt/local/lib' block. I don't understand why, but without that, the ar line is:

ar cq libxtra.a xmalloc.o xstrdup.o

Which works just fine.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

I'm unable to reproduce this problem. tftp-hpa installs just fine for me, on a MacBookPro3,1 with Mac OS X 10.4.10, Xcode 2.4.1 and MacPorts from trunk (r30483). What LDFLAGS block are you referring to? The portfile contains no mention of LDFLAGS; MacPorts adds LDFLAGS=-L/opt/local/lib automatically for all ports.

[seph@…]

Yeah, I realize that the LDFLAGS arguement is generic to macports and reasonable.

Presumably this is somehow related to some package I have installed, which may be confusing tftp-hpa's configure into generating a bad Makefile. But I'm not realy sure. I've attached the list of things I have installed, does anything stand out as weird to you guys?

[seph@…]

I spent a bit peering at configure. Some more info...

Without LDFLAGS='-L/opt/local/lib' configure can't find an xmalloc, so sets itself up to build one into libxtra.a. However, with the LDFLAGS it notices that xmalloc is provided by binutil's libiberty.a.

Unfortunatly, it still tries to build libxtra.a only without anything in it. Which results in that ar error. I suspect this is an upstream bug.

[markd@…]

I don't know what the problem is; I've never seen this. Do you have manually installed open source software in /usr/local? Try renaming /usr/local to something else temporarily. I've also submitted and update to the port (to 0.4.8) in ticket #13115.

[markd@…]

tftp-hpa 0.48 is now current. Please test this and rename /usr/local/ if necessary. I just can't duplicate the problem.

[seph@…]

I don't have anything manually installed in /usr/local or /opt/local.

But, version 0.48 fixes this. I suspect it was an upstream bug.

Thanks for updating.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Great! Then it was fixed by #13115.
