Build fail on git-core

[renehh@…]

Hello,

I've been trying to install git-core, but it fails with error messages I'm not able to decipher. I think I might be missing some vital libraries, but I'm not sure how to fix it. This is the output of "sudo port -vc -d install git-core":

What version of Xcode are you running?

What version of Xcode are you running?

Currently running 3.1.2 and my installed gcc:

i686-apple-darwin9-gcc-4.0.1 (GCC) 4.0.1 (Apple Inc. build 5490) Copyright (C) 2005 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

If that is of any relevance :)

I have nearly the same installation (Xcode 3.1.3) but it works for me. I was able to build it on a clean Snow Leopard installation as well.

Just to make sure, if you have Xcode 3.1.2, you're using 10.5 right? If 10.6, you'd need to update to 3.2.

Yes, I'm running Leopard 10.5.8 to be exact. I'll try upgrading XCode, see if it's the problem...

Just downloaded the newest iPhone SDK with XCode 3.1.4. Still having the same problem...

[maccheck@…]

Could you do a

sudo port clean --all git-core

and try it again, please?

I'm a little bit confused you see these LINK statements that early in the build process.

[renehh@…]

I ran

sudo port clean --all git-core

And then tried installing againg:

sudo port -vc -d install git-core

No dice... ​Here's the output

[maccheck@…]

The command line before the error looks a little bit odd because their is a line break right behind the cd command. But I don't know if that may inject such an error.

Besides that odd newline I have the same command line parameters in the assembled command and it works flawless here. Do you have another git installation where MacPorts may try to use the libraries from? (Random guessing here)

[renehh@…]

Yes, after it wouldn't compile, I proceeded to download the git-osx-installer from ​http://code.google.com/p/git-osx-installer/, I've removed it, ran "sudo port clean --all installed" and tried again, but same failure occures:

I tried to install the SPIM emulator and it complains similarly:

[maccheck@…]

Okay, so it seems that it isn't a git-core specific issue but has something to do with your MacPorts and build tools installation. I have to admit that I don't have any clou how to deal with that besides removing MacPorts completely and trying to reinstall.

[renehh@…]

I'll look into that as soon as I can. Only, I use a lot of the installed programs on a regular basis, so it might be awhile...

[david@…]

I'm having this same problem on a Snow Leopard machine with a brand new MacPorts install. Interestingly, I'm also having this problem with graphviz.

I'm also having this problem with graphviz.

Right, that's #23537. Let's see some complete debug output so we can start comparing this with known-good systems.

Results of sudo port -d install git-core failing on 10.6

[david@…]

At least in my case, this was due to user error. I had a botched boost installation which had a regex.h file being detected before the system's, which was causing all this problem. Removing the offending file (in my case, from /usr/local/include) completely solved this problem.

[renehh@…]

Inspiring. I did a find / -name regex.h and sure enough, I too had remnants of a past Boost installation. I nuked all Boost directories I could find and now, for the first time since I opened this ticket, I've actually been able to upgrade all my installed ports without fail.

Glad you got it working.
