Description (last modified by ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt))

Hello everyone,

I was trying to install opendx on a newly build Snow Leopard system. However, the installation stops when I it is building gcc42. The error while building gcc42 is posted below. I have the latest version of xcode installed (3.2.1), and the latest updates from Apple. I also updated macports, no help. Any suggestions?

Same issue compiling gcc42 under Snow Leopard. It gets a very long way through process but fails with libgfortran - here's some more complete output of the failure:

I ran into a similar issue installing GNUstep a couple of hours ago; initially, I'd run into a similar problem, but I found a, um, "fix". It's rather inelegant and it isn't recommended, but I'm going to share anyways.

First, sudo port install gcc43.

When installing GNUstep, the first port built is gnustep-make. The Portfile specifies port:gcc42 for depends_lib and macports-gcc-4.2 for configure.compiler. I changed them to port:gcc43 & macports-gcc-4.3, respectively.

Next, the remaining GNUstep ports are still going to look for g++ and friends in the 4.2 paths, so I symlinked them:

sudo ln -s /opt/local/bin/g++-mp-4.3 /opt/local/bin/g++-mp-4.2
sudo ln -s /opt/local/bin/gcc-mp-4.3 /opt/local/bin/gcc-mp-4.2
sudo ln -s /opt/local/bin/gccbug-mp-4.3 /opt/local/bin/gccbug-mp-4.2
sudo ln -s /opt/local/bin/gcj-mp-4.3 /opt/local/bin/gcj-mp-4.2
sudo ln -s /opt/local/bin/gcov-mp-4.3 /opt/local/bin/gcov-mp-4.2
sudo ln -s /opt/local/bin/gfortran-mp-4.3 /opt/local/bin/gfortran-mp-4.2
sudo ln -s /opt/local/include/gcc43 /opt/local/include/gcc42
sudo ln -s /opt/local/lib/gcc43 /opt/local/lib/gcc42
sudo ln -s /opt/local/lib/gcc43/gcc/x86_64-apple-darwin10/4.3.4 /opt/local/lib/gcc43/gcc/x86_64-apple-darwin10/4.2.4

Now, sudo port install gnustep-core gnustep-base gnustep-back works! This is where you can invoke sudo port install on whatever project needed gcc42 and wasn't working.

Obviously, if the project uses any of the changes between 4.2.x and 4.3.x, this isn't going to work - and problems may not be immediately evident. Again, not recommended. I've been following GNUstep since 2007 and have failed trying to install it on many occasions - inside and outside of MacPorts, during that timeframe. This post is for those that are in a similar situation & state of frustration at the ever-changing list of reasons a project refuses to build; you don't care anymore and are willing to open a whole 'nother can of worms just to get past the same failed build phase every time.

Also reproduced on MacPorts 1.9.1, OS X 10.6.4, while installing GNUStep.

comment:16 Changed 14 years ago by ivan@…

A thought crossed my mind, by the way; why isn't a detection of Snow Leopard added, in which case only Fortran would be disabled?

Apparently, Fortran is what's causing issues; it's blocking several other packages such as GNUStep from building. So perhaps the maintainer of the GCC4.2 portfile should just kill Fortran?
