Is anyone working on this?

Is anyone working on this?

Sorry for dropping the ball on this. The error seems very strange:

1434	:info:build netcdf4_eightbyte.f90:754:0: internal compiler error: Abort trap: 6
1435	:info:build gfortran-mp-4.8: internal compiler error: Abort trap: 6 (program f951)
1436	:info:build ../libtool: line 1150: 16607 Abort trap: 6           /opt/macports/bin/gfortran-mp-4.8 -pipe -Os -m32 -c netcdf4.f90 -fno-common -o .libs/netcdf4.

I just built this from source on my Mountain Lion machine successfully but will try to build on my Mavericks buildbot. In the meantime, have you tried to run the self update, clean, then rebuild dance?

[seanfarley (Sean Farley)]

This built on my Mavericks bot fine. The only difference I can see is that you have a different prefix /opt/macports instead of the usual /opt/local but that, in theory, shouldn't be a problem.

[watsodw]

I cleaned and tried again. I don't see the error you referenced. What I see is build failure when trying to stage into destroot. I have attached a new log file.

Likely caused by a newer version of texinfo. Replacing @item with @itemx in the file might help.

That's what I am thinking too but I still can't reproduce it. David, do you have anything installed in /usr/local?

There was a patch submitted here for reference:

I don't have anything that would cause this error. I removed /usr/local from my path and tried again, but no luck.

You'd have to move /usr/local to another place, like ~/Desktop/usr-local-backup so that it's not automatically found.

[watsodw]

Moving /usr/local didn't help either. I tried applying the patch mentioned earlier but I had to modify the file in the original tar archive, which changed the checksum, so macports wouldn't unpack the archive.

[neverpanic (Clemens Lang)]

You can run sudo port extract netcdf-fortran, edit the file below the path returned by port work netcdf-fortran and continue the build using port install netcdf-fortran.

[watsodw]

Didn't work. Same result.

[watsodw]

I could extract and edit the file, but when I port install, Macports extracted the archive again, overwriting my edits. If the above patch is a fix, it will have to be applied by Macports itself.

You should probably port clean netcdf-fortran then use port -vs extract netcdf-fortran then apply the patch, then port -vs destroot netcdf-fortran to see if it works.

It shouldn't do that unless the Portfile changed, and even then you can avoid it by using port -o.

If the above patch is a fix, it will have to be applied by Macports itself.

Yes, in the end that will have to be the way it's done, but it's usually easier to test it that way.

I'm trying to reproduce your problem now.

[neverpanic (Clemens Lang)]

I cannot reproduce either; my build log doesn't show any calls to makeinfo.

[neverpanic (Clemens Lang)]

Does /opt/local/bin/makeinfo exist on your system? If yes, what's the output of port provides /opt/local/bin/makeinfo?

Also, what are the file modification dates on $(port work netcdf-fortran)/netcdf-fortran-4.2/man4/netcdf-f77.texi and $(port work netcdf-fortran)/netcdf-fortran-4.2/man4/netcdf-f90.texi?

I also don't understand why the builtin "restore the .info file from the backup if it fails to build from scratch" doesn't kick in here, but I guess we should just apply the patch from upstream linked earlier to fix this.

[watsodw]

Sorry for taking so long to respond. I did port -vs extract netcdf-fortran, applied the patch, then port -vs destroot netcdf-fortran, and it worked. Thanks again for the help.
