sdcc does not build on 10.6.3

[john.rayfield@…]

sudo port install sdcc gives (from the logfile)...

log from building sdcc

[john.rayfield@…]

I have attached the full log file.

[nerdling (Jeremy Lavergne)]

Looks like this line:

asranlib: /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_lang_sdcc/work/sdcc/device/lib/build/large/liblong.lib: No such file or directory

That's one of sdcc's own files, so this might be indicative of an inability to build in parallel.

[nerdling (Jeremy Lavergne)]

Let's try the build again like so:

sudo port clean sdcc && sudo port install sdcc build.jobs=1

Please let me know if it has the same error or successfully builds.

[john.rayfield@…]

I already successfully built by just building a second time (without a clean) suggesting that it could be build order.

[nerdling (Jeremy Lavergne)]

It build fine for me without any changes on 2 cores. If this is a >2 core issue I have no way of testing it.

[jmroot (Joshua Root)]

The nature of parallel build problems is that they are non-deterministic. You can't say that because it built in parallel for you once (or n times) that it always will.
