memcached compile fails with clang

[chimerafun@…]

When trying to install memcached with the command:

port install memcached

I'm getting a failure here is the appropriate part of the main.log:

I have tried updating ports and I have cleaned the ports and reinstalled.

Please attach the entire main.log.

Perhaps an issue related to clang; you could try working around it by using a different compiler.

I attached the main.log

I'll look into using a different compiler

[chimerafun@…]

I used:

llvm-gcc-4.2

and it worked great. Thank-you for the help.

I'm not up for using a different compiler here. Is there some update on getting this working again?

It's so easy just run the following commands, the first cleans out any of the failed junk and the second compiled it flawlessly on my computer.

sudo port clean memcached
sudo port install memcached configure.compiler=llvm-gcc-4.2

I'm sorry the commands ran together

sudo port clean foo
sudo port install foo configure.compiler=llvm-gcc-4.2

Chimerafun, You are the man.

I had this exact same problem on Mavericks. I could get memcached to compile with installing gcc48 and using configure.compiler=macports-gcc-4.8.

Please do not compile with gcc48; the mixture of libc++ and libstdc++ will cause problems. Please file a new ticket about the problem you're experiencing so that we can investigate a proper solution. This ticket is closed.
