Apparently related to #30012

It looks like this error occurs when one has Xcode 4 installed on OS X 10.6, as the configure process on my machine picks up the llvm-gcc-4.2 compiler.

Patching as follows enables the build to get past the hipe error on OS X 10.6:

The "correct" thing is probably to first detect if XCode 4 is installed on OS X 10.6, then change the compiler flags. Can someone reference an example of such logic somewhere?

Or should we just force the use of gcc-4.2 under OS X 10.6?

Thanks so much for this! I was totally new to macports and in just few hours had to grok it upside down, just to find out why the f*k erlang build takes forever to complete. without any visible reason.

Any info on which particular optimization caused this?

comment:7 Changed 13 years ago by wbunton@…

Same Problem. Erlang hangs when installing.

Xcode 4.1.1 installed OSX 10.6.8

This is the verbose output from port install erlang (the last several lines anyway where things go wonky)

Entering application hipe

make[3]: Entering directory `/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_lang_erlang/erlang/work/erlang-R14B03/lib/hipe/rtl' erlc -W +debug_info +inline -o../ebin hipe_rtl.erl (no error logger present) error: "Error in process <0.1.0> with exit value: {{badfun,[<<5 bytes>>,<<142 bytes>>,<<9 bytes>>,<<3 bytes>>,<<2 bytes>>,<<5 bytes>>,<<14 bytes>>,<<2 bytes>>,<<8 bytes>>,<<8 bytes>>,<<5 bytes>>,<<7 bytes>>,<<5 bytes>>,<<11 bytes>>,<<2 bytes>>,<<11 bytes>>,<<15 bytes>>,<<4 bytes>>,<<145 bytes>>,<<5 bytes>>,<<1 byte>>,<<7 bytes>>,<<10 bytes>>,<<7 bytes>>,<<6 bytes>>,<<7 bytes>>,<<7 bytes>>,<<6 bytes>>,<<12 bytes>>]},[{erlang,apply,2}]}\n"

Hope it helps.

According to the link http://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=7883 from #30012 the problem stems from using LLVM itself rather than any particular optimization.

Please try the new R14B04 sources. The upstream Erlang team claims to have fixed this in the current source tree.

erlang @R14B04_1+ssl works for me.

Resolution: fixed
Status: closedreopened

unfortunately it looks like this bug has reappeared.

running OS X 10.7.2, Xcode 4.2.1, and getting the same error message previously reported.

as mentioned in a previous post, adding the following to the Portfile fixed the problem:

  configure.cflags-delete -O2
  configure.cxxflags-delete -O2
  configure.cflags-append -O0
  configure.cxxflags-append -O0

R15B builds fine.
