can't build i386-elf-binutils

[vvv@…]

Hello,

I can't build i386-elf-binutils on snow leopard :

Error: Target org.macports.build returned: shell command " cd "/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_cross_i386-elf-binutils/work/build" && /usr/bin/make -j2 all " returned error 2

Bye

[jmroot (Joshua Root)]

That one line of output doesn't tell us anything beyond "the build failed". Attach a full debug log. Also please read the ticket guidelines regarding the milestone field.

I'm observing the same problem. Here's the debug log you requested.

Argh, I said to attach it, not to paste it into a comment. At least use WikiFormatting (I've added it to your comment)...

According to ​this post from Rainer Müller to the Mac Ports user list, this can be addressed by changing line 100 in the strings.c file referenced in the error message.

Rainer suggests replacing the line with #if 0. I replaced the 0 with an undefined variable, from:

#ifdef 0

to

#ifdef SOMETHING_NOT_DEFINED

and then re-execute sudo port install i386-elf-binutils. Don't know why I did that instead of trying #if 0, but this worked for me.
