#22621 closed defect (fixed)

ncbi_tools does not build in parallel, fails on 10.6/64-bit

Reported by: jashugan@… Owned by: mike.thon@…
Priority: Normal Milestone:
Component: ports Version: 1.8.1
Keywords: snowleopard LP64 Cc:
Port: ncbi_tools

Description

In Snow Leopard MacPorts is passing in the -j2 argument which breaks the build script, makedis.csh. Adding the following line to the Portfile for ncbi_tools fixes this problem:

use_parallel_build no

However there are some other upstream issues that still prevent the port from building.

  1. -Wno-long-double is now deprecated. Removing this argument from ncbi/platform/darwin.ncbi.mk and ncbi/platform/darwin-univ.ncbi.mk fixes this problem
  2. After that's fixed, there is another problem related to compiling vibutils.c. Basically it doesn't compile. Perhaps the header files have changed in /Developer/Headers/FlatCarbon?

I will report these last two points upstream; to the folks at NCBI.

Patch that disables graphics when building ncbi_tools. Only good if using the command line tools.

I talked to the upstream developers about this, and they gave me a patch along with this response:

Snow Leopard's default compiler (GCC 4.2) defaults to building 64-bit
executables; however, the C Toolkit's Vibrant GUI framework uses the
32-bit only Carbon API. :-/  If you are only interested in the
command-line applications, you can apply the attached patch to disable
Vibrant on Mac OS X.

If you want to build graphical applications and support libraries as
well, your best bet is to build as if on a 10.5 system, with

NCBI_CC = gcc-4.0 -isysroot /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.5.sdk

I hope that helps, and am sorry you ran into trouble; we are working on
addressing the compatibility issues for the next C Toolkit release.

Meanwhile, I believe I've answered your question, so I've gone ahead and
marked this ticket as resolved; however, please feel free to get back in
touch if you have further questions or concerns.
