libstdcxx is not building for me. main.log attached.

Can you please try this as a workaround:

It took a while but it worked. FYI, this was on a Mac Pro 2008 with 6 GB RAM.

I spoke too soon. Macports keeps finding linking errors and rebuilding it.

Please install libstdcxx using port install --no-rev-upgrade libstdcxx, run port -d -y rev-upgrade and attach the output.

This is fixed in llvm's r163761, so we'll just have to try future XCode releases to see when the fix makes it to us.

So... there have been a few XCode releases since then... has the fix made it to us yet?

[jeremyhu (Jeremy Huddleston Sequoia)]

Yeah, it's fixed in clang-3.2 and clang-3.3

So does this mean that libstdcxx can have --disable-bootstrap added back to it now? Bootstrapping it takes so long...

[jeremyhu (Jeremy Huddleston Sequoia)]

Right now, we can either bootstrap libstdcxx or add clang-3.2 as a dependency.

XCode 4.6 contains clang-425.0.24 which is based on llvm-3.2, but I'm not sure if it was before or after r163761 was merged in ... you can always just give it a try ;)

I'll take a look at this when I get some free cycles, but cpu cycles are MUCH cheaper than human cycles ;)

Would it be possible to add a variant to let the user choose? Or would that be too difficult considering that libstdcxx is already a sub-port?

[jeremyhu (Jeremy Huddleston Sequoia)]

I'm not a fan of compiler variants, so I'm going to say no for now. Please just be patient (or report back if clang-425 works).

[larryv (Lawrence Velázquez)]

clang-425.0.24 works fine, without bootstrapping.

[jeremyhu (Jeremy Huddleston Sequoia)]

great, thanks.
