libgcc @4.8.1 Compile error on Mavericks macports 2.2.1 package (Error: conflicting declaration 'typedef enum pointer_t pointer_t')

[William.Capehart@…]

Macports' Mavericks 2.2.1 package has been removed and reinstalled several times. Xcode license has been accepted several times. xcode-select --install has been installed. I've also done the normal selfupdate step. From what I've seen I've covered most of what other people who have reported simpler problems with libgcc and gcc4x compile errors have done. From what I can see, this does not resemble the error in #40857 or #40810, for example.

Attempts to install GCC 4.8 and 4.7 have been blocked by the same error each time with the following error in the libgcc build. (each attempt has been preceded by a clean of gcc48/gcc47 and libgcc)

The same error emerges when installing ONLY libgcc. The error message for the libgcc build is below and log is attached.

Note that fortran is a critical requirement for me. I should not disable this. Additionally installing gcc48 on macports a month ago met with no error.

In the future, please use WikiFormatting and Cc the port maintainers (port info --maintainers libgcc).

[William.Capehart@…]

I have found what is likely not a best practices-friendly solution by trespassing into the /usr area:

I have commented-out line 40 of /usr/include/mach/vm_types.h Before this, I DID try to comment out its counterpart line in libgcc/work/gcc-4.8.1/gcc/fortran/module.c but this produced far more errors, and went to vm_types.h instead. I was able to compile libgcc (4.8.2) and gcc48. And I restored the vm_types.h to before and moved forward with building mpich, netcdf, and other macport builds. I have only had a problem with ncarg but that may be an unrelated matter and am submitting the problem there' under separate cover.

I do not know if this qualifies as a "works for me fix."

[William.Capehart@…]

I just tried to repeat this build on my second newly upgraded Mavericks machine and got the same error. I did not make any changes to /usr/include/mach/vm_types.h for this second machine.

[jeremyhu (Jeremy Huddleston Sequoia)]

I can't reproduce, and this is GPL3 code, so I'm not going to be looking at it. My suggestion is to remove the conflicting typedef in gcc's sources or otherwise fix it there.

Why is the SunOS malloc fix being applied (“Applying sun_malloc”)? I’m not seeing this behavior in my Mavericks VM:

Perhaps it has something to do with developer tools?

The /usr/include/{malloc,sys}/malloc.h are fine; they’re installed by the Xcode Command Line Tools. /usr/include/malloc.h is a non-standard header that basically no systems install anymore.

The problem is that GCC’s build sees this mystery symlink /usr/include/malloc.h, assumes that you’re running SunOS, and fixes up its own copy. This screws up includes later on.

What’s the output of this, if any?

% pkgutil --file-info /usr/include/malloc.h

Well then is it possible that you put it there yourself? Perhaps years ago, you got an error about malloc.h not being found during a compile, and you followed some advice on stackoverflow.com that told you to symlink malloc.h to stdlib.h or something like that.

Well then is it possible that you put it there yourself? Perhaps years ago, you got an error about malloc.h not being found during a compile, and you followed some advice on stackoverflow.com that told you to symlink malloc.h to stdlib.h or something like that.

I'd call that *possible*. The files were last modified fairly recently, however (but before I installed 10.10). It'd be interesting to hear if @William.Capehart has any other details

Or maybe a rogue build/installer took it upon itself to diddle with your /usr/include?

In any case, you need to get rid of that symlink.

done.

Okay, that should take care of the issue. Run these commands, and you should be set.

% sudo port clean libgcc
% sudo port selfupdate
% sudo port install libgcc

If you run into the mystery software that needs /usr/include/malloc.h, kindly tell its authors to cut it out.

[William.Capehart@…]

I have no specific recollection of putting /usr/include/malloc.h in there but I must wonder if it was associated with the HPC gcc compiler set that Mac users can get at source forge?

But if it's not supposed to be there in the naturalistic mac environment I certainly can make it go away. Thanks for the help on this.

libgcc installed successfully! Thank you!
