gcc46 fails to build on OS X 10.4.11 PPC

[Dudemac]

Trying to build gcc46 +gfortran on Os X 10.4.11 on a G4 PowerPC with freshly updated Macports. I do not know whether this error is OS version specific. Xcode 2.5 (i.e. latest for Tiger) is installed on this system. main.log is attached. Here is some output:

The main.log you attached shows a successful build of mpfr. Please attach the main.log that shows the failure to compile gcc46.

Also, if you're really running MacPorts 1.9.1, please "sudo port selfupdate" to get 1.9.2.

log of new attempt to build, with -d flag

Replying to ryandesign@…:

The main.log you attached shows a successful build of mpfr. Please attach the main.log that shows the failure to compile gcc46.

Also, if you're really running MacPorts 1.9.1, please "sudo port selfupdate" to get 1.9.2.

I did the selfupdate before my initial attempt to build gcc46, but the update of Macports to 1.9.2 failed. The ports tree did update successfully, though. (This is an old issue for me, having apparently to do with no user "501" on this system. I gave up on this one.)

I reran the build attempt of gcc46, after "sudo port clean gcc46" to get rid of old crap. This time I added the -d flag to the install command. I have attached the log file (which now shows the fail). I believe this attach has overwritten the previous attachment.

I saved the screen messages on my machine, but the logfile seems to have the same info so I am not uploading the screen messages.

Is this still an issue with 4.6.3? Note that we can't offer any support if you're not using the current version of MacPorts.

[darylew@…]

I can't directly get gcc46 to build on my PPC/32-bit Tiger system either. On my system, all the object files are built, but the linking stage fails, with missing symbols for C++ runtime functions. But I've gotten around this by forcing Apple's GCC 4.2 (from MacPorts) to be used to build. (The default is the built-in GCC 4.0.1 compiler.) You can force this with a line similar to ​this comment or messing around with the Portfile. I think that should be added full time (which adds a dependency on apple-gcc-42).

[mww@…]

so does adding

platform darwin 8 { configure.compiler apple-gcc-4.2 }

fix the problem?

[darylew@…]

I got my build of GCC 4.6 to work by using

sudo port install gcc46 configure.compiler=apple-gcc-4.2

I could not use "upgrade" as the port command; I guess it only pays attention to the compiler setting when "install" is used. I just saw the post by mww, so I don't know if it would work.

[mww@…]

I've added this to the Portfile in r96428 -- if someone with 10.4 could try and report if this works, that would be great; if not, please re-open this ticket!

I believe I'm getting the same error. macports 2.1.2 trying to install gcc46 on mac os 10.4.11 and it fails with some missing symbols. It first installs gcc 4.2, then looks like it's trying to install 4.7 ?? I tried the command "sudo port install gcc46 configure.compiler=apple-gcc-4.2" but it looks like it's still using apple's gcc 4.0.1 in the log:

[ifn22@…]

For some reason gcc46 needs gcc47, so I copied the lines in r96428 from the gcc46 portfile to a similar location in the gcc47 portfile and it looks like that fixed it. And to reiterate: sudo port install gcc46 configure.compiler=apple-gcc-4.2 did not work for me.
