emacs-app @23.3 +universal fails compiling with "unexec: input file not in Mach-O format" error

[philippe.bernery@…]

I use MacPorts on Lion with Xcode 4.2.

I found a similar ticket about emacs @22 (#24913) and applied the given patch. The compilation went further but failed at some point. Here is an extract of the error:

I tried with both clang (the default) and llvm-gcc-4.2 compiler.

Same error occurred here. When the destroot phase stopped with an error No such file or directory with muniversal workaround, working directory for i386 contained only one symbolic link.

The main.log at line 8079 seems to be the creation of this file since there were no files named ../libexec in that directory.

I tried universal build for i386 and x86_64 on OSX 10.6.8, macbook pro early 2011.

[jmroot (Joshua Root)]

Is this still a problem with 23.4? The buildbot succeeded in building that version.

[jmroot (Joshua Root)]

Oh I see, you're building +universal. You should really mention that in the summary.
