Cairo build problem : Unknown instruction for architecture x86_64

[madduluri@…]

While installing cairo on Lion, the build broke with the following error:

   :info:build ld: lto: could not merge in .libs/cairo-analysis-surface.o because Unknown instruction for architecture x86_64

The whole log file is attached.

As a workaround, use:

sudo port clean cairo
sudo port install cairo configure.compiler=gcc-4.2

With both llvm-gcc-4.2 and gcc-4.2 I receive the same error.

(see attached main.2.log)

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Andrew, can you show me the log with gcc-4.2?

[andrew@…]

Actually, looks like I was wrong. I only have llvm-gcc-4.2, and not straight gcc-4.2. Currently running Xcode 4.2 Developer Preview 7.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

In that case, please try:

sudo port clean cairo
sudo port install apple-gcc42
sudo port install cairo configure.compiler=apple-gcc-4.2

sudo port clean cairo

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

Works perfectly. Thank you.

Someone's going to file a radar about this, I hope?

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

I would recommend that the person using the developer preview of Xcode 4.2 do so, since I would be nothing more than a middleman. The address to report bugs to Apple is ​http://bugreport.apple.com/

[andrew@…]

I'm happy to - as I'm not overly familiar with what Apple requires for these sorts of things, do I just include the output log and suggest that the llvm-gcc-4.2 compiler is broken?

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

When you create a new problem report on their site, there will be a number of fields to fill out. You'll probably also want to attach a log of the problem and your system profile, so they know what version of OS X and Xcode you're using.
