ccl 1.7.1 fails to build on OS X Lion

[gary.verhaegen@…]

See attached log.

The problem seems to be the following line in the Makefile:

SVN_REVISION=$(shell svnversion || echo "unknown")

which outputs Unversioned directory instead of a revision number. As that is two words, when the compilation command is later assembled, the option -DSVN_REVISION=Unversioned directory is incorrectly parsed and the compilation aborts due to the not-found directory file. See the numerous i686-apple-darwin11-llvm-gcc-4.2: directory: No such file or directory lines in the log.

---

Another small problem is that in cases such as this one, when the build does not work, it is not possible to try it again, as it looks like the build script removes the bootstrapping executables whether or not it successfully rebuilt them.

---

I tried to change the Makefile in ccl/lisp-kernel/darwinx8664 to include quotes around the SVN_REVISION variable declaration, but that only changed the error message to directory" not found, so I instead tried replacing it directly by unknown, giving

SVN_REVISION=unkown

in the Makefile did allow it to compile and finish the installation. And it looks like it's working.

It is not useful to Cc openmaintainer.

This problem is occurring because you're using Subversion 1.7 or greater; in Subversion 1.6.x and earlier, svnversion gave the single-word "exported" response for unversioned directories.

Replying to ryandesign@…:

Indeed - I should have thought about writing the full versions of the relevant softwares.

1.8 seems to build OK.
