apple-gcc40: rev-upgrade says: crt3.o: Premature end of data, possibly corrupt file

Reported by: aroopsircar@… Owned by: macports-tickets@…
Priority: Normal Milestone:
Component: ports Version: 2.1.2

Description (last modified by ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt))

Hello,

I am trying to install the gcc48 port but it keeps returning an error. To that end I have tried to remove both gcc48 and apple-gcc40 and followed it with clean and have reinstalled both, but keep getting the same error:

Mac OSX: Version 10.6.8
Xcode: 3.2.6 (1761)
Processor: 2.66 GHz Intel Core i7
Memory: 8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3

Also if it does build successfully, where will I find (location) the gcc executable?

Thank you for your help,
Aroop

It's just a warning actually, not an error. This output is part of the "rev-upgrade" feature of MacPorts, which, after you install or upgrade any port, checks every installed port to see if there are any linking errors. It's trying to locate and check OS X Mach-O binaries and libraries. In this case, rev-upgrade has identified this particular file crt3.o as a Mach-O file, but I'm guessing that in fact it isn't, and so it prints a warning saying it might be corrupt. That's probably fine and normal for this file. It might be nice to enhance the rev-upgrade feature so that it recognizes this type of file and skips over it instead of reporting it as corrupt, but I don't know what criteria would be used to differentiate this file from the Mach-O files that it does need to check. I'm Cc'ing Clemens who designed the rev-upgrade feature.

This confirms there's no real problem. The gcc48 port is successfully installed.

Also if it does build successfully, where will I find (location) the gcc executable?

port contents gcc48 will show you what files were installed.
