octave fails due to gcc34 failure on Tiger

sudo port install octave fails. Output below

Please update your DP installation using the 'selfupdate' command and try again. This bug was believed to have been fixed a month or so ago.

after selfupdate, new error is as below:

sudo port -v install octave

Unable to execute port: couldn't compile regular expression pattern: quantifier operand invalid

octave portfile to test

[stephen.thomas@…]

Probably because I'm not doing something right, but after replacing the Portfile ...

sudo port install octave

Portfile changed since last build; discarding previous state. Unable to execute port: couldn't compile regular expression pattern: quantifier operand invalid

[gwright@…]

Could you run 'sudo port -dv install'? The -dv options produce verbose debug output. I can't reproduce your error, so I'll need more information to fix it.

sudo port -dv install

portfile to test, version 2

[gwright@…]

I've made a new version of the portfile ot test. The regexps that seem to be the trouble are replaced with the 'port:' dependency specifier.

Let me know if it works.

Thanks, Greg

Output from sudo port -dv install

[gwright@…]

Stephen,

Try this:

sudo port clean gcc34 sudo port -dv install gcc34 > gcc34.log 2>&1 sudo port -dv install octave > octave.log 2>&1

It looks as if the gcc34 port is not cleaning and rebuilding (it should automatically whenever the portfile changes), so you're just hitting the same old failure over and over.

If it doesn't work, send me the log outputs. There may still be a bug in the DP infrastructure.

Best Wishes, Greg

Greg,

I ran into (what seems to me) the same problem as Stephen. Carrying out the steps you outlined in comment #10 fixed the problems and octave would install correctly. Here is what the terminal output looked like.

Oh, btw, the log file is rather huge (15 MB) - let me know if you need it and I will try to get it to you somehow. You can catch me on fgrasser at dplanet dot ch.

Stephen,

Took forever, but that worked. As Felix notes, the log files are absolutely huge, but I can attach them if they're helpful.

[gwright@…]

So everyone is happy and I can close this bug?

I think what you've discovered tells us that we need a new target for the port command, say 'cleanall', which cleans a port _and_ all of its dependencies so you are certain to get a fresh build of everything.

Best Wishes, Greg

[gwright@…]

Bug closed. I'll work with the DP team to find the best way to clean up dependencies.

Best Wishes, Greg
