apple-gcc42 defect: build fails (Leopard, ppc64 slice)

[petrrr]

The port does build on my system Mac OS X, ver 10.5.8.

OS version: Darwin Kernel Version 9.8.0: Wed Jul 15 16:55:01 PDT 2009; root:xnu-1228.15.4~1/RELEASE_I386 i386

Xcode 3.1.4 Component versions: DevToolsCore-1204.0; DevToolsSupport-1186.0 BuildVersion: 9M2809

Update to XCode 3.1.6 and try again.

Has anybody a pointer to this version, I can't find it.

And maybe the docu should be updated. See ​http://guide.macports.org/#installing.xcode.other

Thanks!

[jeremyhu (Jeremy Huddleston Sequoia)]

Sorry, I had an off-by-one moment. 3.2.6 is the last 3.2.x for SL. 3.1.4 is the last 3.1.x for Leopard. You're on the right version.

Does it work if you try using /usr/bin/strip?

Negative! The same error message.

I noted something else that might be relevant. The library above seems not to have been created put only copied there. Does it then make sense to strip it?

Just a few days ago, I installed Leopard fresh on a 32bit intel Mac I had lying around, and apple-gcc42 built fine. I really don't know what might be at issue here. =/

[jeremyhu (Jeremy Huddleston Sequoia)]

Note that I would highly recommend you update to Snow Leopard given that you're on an Intel mac. Leopard support in MacPorts is quickly fading. We don't intentionally break things, but it's not one of the top supported platforms. Our main supported OS versions right now are Lion and Mountain Lion, but enough people still use Snow Leopard that it continues to function well. =/

You are of cause right, Leopard is somewhat obsolete. I probably will update hardware as well in the next months. Then I will consider to update the old computer to SL. Will check if the version is available at our organization.

Please reopen if this is still an issue. I wasn't able to reproduce it last year.

I have no problems to build it on Mac OS X 10.8. I tried to rebuild the port on the 10.5 system. and it still fails on that system. The problem seems to be exactly the same as one year ago. Do you want me to attach an updated main.log?

[jeremyhu (Jeremy Huddleston Sequoia)]

Well, it worked for me a year or so ago, so unless you have more data or a patch, there's not much I can do =/
