py27-sip, py26-sip, py25-sip, py-sip won't build universal

[Veence (Vincent)]

py26-sip botches universal install. It does not take into account any universal flags, so it does not build universal, and it has a wired up universal configuration set to i386 and ppc. in the various .py files, leading to false universal builds thereafter. The (rather lengthy) attached patch solves (I hope) this issue.

[Veence (Vincent)]

In fact, it's even worse. There is an insidious additional bug I chased all the afternoon. It should be *really* fixed now with another Portfile and a patch

Patch for Portfile (should replace old version)

This patch fixes a vicious bug

@vince: I don't have an easy way to test this because I don't use +universal when I build ports. If this patch works for you, please commit it. The port is openmaintainer.

Has duplicate #23103. Cc'ing reporter.

This issue would apply to py25-sip and py-sip as well, no? Cc'ing maintainers. (Why aren't all three ports maintained by the same maintainer?)

[andre.david@…]

Can't we simply add

configure.universal_args-delete --disable-dependency-tracking

to the Portfile? This works for me (for py26-sip).

I hate to come back, but I tried upgrading py26-sip recently and found myself applying the same patch I mentioned above.

Some other py2X ports to do the following to get +universal working:

variant universal {
	configure.universal_args
	configure.post_args	LFLAGS="-F${frameworks_dir} -L${prefix}/lib \
								${configure.universal_ldflags}"
	configure.post_args-append	CFLAGS="${configure.universal_cflags}"
	configure.post_args-append	CXXFLAGS="${configure.universal_cxxflags}"
}

Adding this chunk into py26-sip allows "sudo port install py26-sip +universal" to work, all of the binaries are correctly universal (as reported by 'file'), and "import sip" works for +universal or without it. I'm using MacPorts 1.9.99 (latest from SVN), OSX 10.6.4 x86_64, XCode 3.2.3, and SIP is now version 4.11.1 -- maybe things have changed enough since the original ticket was posted that this "simple" change is enough?

I've checked in the above change in r72221 - given that nobody is responding and these ports are either nomaintainer or openmaintainer, and this is such a simple fix. Please do:

sudo port clean py2X-sip
sudo port selfupdate
sudo port install py2X-sip

and see if it works for you. I'm closing this ticket as fixed; please reopen if the changes don't work for you.
