What you've reported is slightly confusing because the output you show in the ticket description is libewf failing to build but the logs you've attached are testdisk failing to build. I believe you're saying that both libewf and testdisk do not build with clang and they both need llvm-gcc-4.2 instead.

This ticket will be only about libewf. Ticket #33219 already exists for testdisk.

Yes, it is confusing, sorry! Initially, libewf failed to build.

Per the ProblemHotlist, I tried rebuilding with llvm-gcc-4.2, and the build succeeded. Then I realized I should have attached the libewf build failure log, but it was gone --- perhaps as a result of the eventually successful build.

I tried to uninstall libewf and tried to reproduce the failed build by using port uninstall testdisk; port uninstall libewf; port install testdisk , but could not reproduce the failed libewf build. I don't know why.

Yes, MacPorts deletes logs of successful installs. If you want to keep logs of successful installs, edit macports.conf and set "keeplogs" to "yes".

I don't have Xcode 4 or Lion, but I cannot reproduce the problem when I tell MacPorts to build libewf with clang; it builds fine with either Apple clang 1.7 that comes with Xcode 3.2.6 ("sudo port -d destroot libewf configure.compiler=clang") or clang 3.0 that's available in the MacPorts clang-3.0 port ("sudo port -d destroot libewf configure.cc=clang-mp-3.0 configure.cxx=clang++-mp-3.0").

Since you're not able to reproduce the build failure with clang either, and we have no main.log to go on, I'll close this as invalid. If further information comes to light later, feel free to re-open.
