BUG: monotone build fails on Panther/XCode 1.5

[dhazeghi@…]

First attempt to build montone on Panther fails because c/c++ compiler are set to gcc-4.0 and g++ -4.0 respectively, neither of which exist on Panther:

cygnus:~ dara$ sudo port install monotone Password: ---> Configuring monotone Error: Target com.apple.configure returned: configure failure: shell command "cd "/opt/local/var/db/ dports/build/ file._opt_local_var_db_dports_sources_rsync.rsync.opendarwin.org_dpupdate_dports_devel_monotone/ work/monotone-0.18" && LDFLAGS=-L/opt/local/lib CC=gcc-4.0 CXX=g++-4.0 ./configure -- prefix=/opt/local" returned error 77 Command output: checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c checking whether build environment is sane... yes checking for gawk... no checking for mawk... no checking for nawk... no checking for awk... awk checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes checking for C++ compiler default output file name... configure: error: C++ compiler cannot create executables See `config.log' for more details.

If you hack around this, the build continues, but g++ appears to go into an infinite loop compiling cryptopp/rsa.cpp . Killed the build after consuming 700MB, 15 minutes...

Again this is with... Reading specs from /usr/libexec/gcc/darwin/ppc/3.3/specs Thread model: posix gcc version 3.3 20030304 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 1671)

Yep, I definitely observed that issue back when I first tried to get monotone ported to OS X. Not sure if there's a viable fix.

Actually, never mind. Just noticed you're compiling monotone 0.18, which never actually worked. Update your ports and try again (0.22 is latest)
