Qucs architecture is in-compatible with iverilog

Which version of OS X? (10.4, 10.5, 10.6)?

[macports@…]

This happens to me as well. Probably caused by #23776 which removed the universal variant for iverilog@0.9.3.

OSX 10.6.6, MacPorts 1.9.2

The problem is, that qt3-mac on which qucs reside (for output) don't work with 64 bit, so we disable 64bit for qucs. And since iverilog does'n work with universal the two versions (64 bit for iverilog and 32 bit for qucs) bite each other ...

Please try:

    port configure iverilog arch=i386
    port build iverilog arch=i386
    port install iverilog arch=i386

to configure, build and install iverilog for i386 before installing qucs. Afterwards try to configure and build qucs.

Kind regards,

Rolf

port install iverilog arch=i386

"arch=i386" is not meaningful; MacPorts does not have or use a variable called "arch". Perhaps you meant "build_arch":

sudo port install iverilog build_arch=i386

[dr2chase@…]

The corrected (build_arch=i386 for iverilog) workaround works; I built and installed qucs, and ran it, and also ran a simulation to see if it was basically functional.

O.k. - any suggestions how to put this into the port files?

Please any of the CC'ers confirm that this bug is still actual after three year.

I'm having issue with dependencies and cannot check at the moment.

[jmroot (Joshua Root)]

No longer depends on qt3 as of r112142.

[rowue@…]

The problem was, that iverilog only works on i386 (maybe also ppc). (qt3 was an other issue, which was fixed by a switch to qt4 in the latest qucs version). So up to now qucs only supprts i386 and ppc but not x64.
