julia: target architecture mismatch error

[cdeil (Christoph Deil)]

I'm getting the following error on Mac OS X 10.9.5 with Xcode 6.0.1 :

So, is this machine an i386?

This is a Macbook with a pretty modern Intel Core i7 : ​http://ark.intel.com/products/64891

If it helps to debug / resolve this issue, I can give you ssh access to a Mac server where I get the same error.

I see the same error on a Mac Pro late 2013. It's a problem with the pre-built binary on the buildbot. When I rebuild from source it works fine.

[mf2k (Frank Schima)]

I committed a minor fix (r125983) and now the buildbot is rebuilding it, maybe that will help?

[mf2k (Frank Schima)]

The binary on the buildbot is still broken.

[seanfarley (Sean Farley)]

I have a fix for julia Using The Right Compilers but that might not be enough. Since it needs to build its own OpenBLAS, we might want to disable binary archives?

Now I updated to Mac OS X 10.10 and did a fresh Macports install.

At the moment port install julia tries to install llvm-3.3 which fails.

I do have llvm-3.5 installed ... can't julia use that?

Historically, this has been turbulent. See, for example, ​here and ​here. It seems the julia devs are working on making it work with llvm 3.5 and I will try this out. This will take a while since I just installed Yosemite. In the meantime, if you want to experiment on this yourself, you can try to edit the portfile to change llvm 3.3 to 3.5.

I updated this in r128079, which should fix these issues. Please open a new ticket if something doesn't work.

I get this error in destroot, I think when it tries to install blas: ​https://gist.githubusercontent.com/cdeil/1ab3ff55f12c735d53b2/raw/gistfile1.txt

julia downloads its dependencies (except for the ones already in macports) while building. The error in your gist is curl: (6) name lookup timed out which would indicate that it might have had some network problems while building. Try cleaning and rebuilding.

Tried again from work ... now it fails because git clone via the git protocol is not possible due to network security restrictions: ​https://gist.github.com/cdeil/b5aaf6a069ac0e1bdef2#file-gistfile1-txt-L1433

I guess that's just how Julia install is ... downloading things in various ways from the internet?

Or is there an option to get one tarball like most other ports do that contains everything?

If no, do you think it would be useful to ask the Julia devs to distribute Julia in this way?

Your question made me stop and think. I believe I started this portfile when Julia had no stable releases. Since that has changed, I'll look into the tarball distribution.

Ok, pushed a fix in r128125.

Thanks, Sean ... now it works for me. Now I to go learn Julia ... :-)
