upgrading port `py27-scipy` fails with `ld64`

[evandrix (Lee Wei Yeong)]

I'm on OS X Yosemite 10.10.1

Trying to update my outdated port py27-scipy, where partial output of sudo port list outdated, showing only relevant line, is below: ...

py27-scipy                     @0.15.0         python/py-scipy

...

Following is also an extract of the last bit just before the port upgrade via sudo port -d upgrade py27-scipy fails:

src/ld/parsers/lto_file.cpp:41:
src/abstraction/MachOFileAbstraction.hpp:510:10: fatal error: 'mach-o/arm/reloc.h' file not found
#include <mach-o/arm/reloc.h>
In file included from src/other/dyldinfo.cpp:39:
src/abstraction/MachOFileAbstraction.hpp:510:10: fatal error: 'mach-o/arm/reloc.h' file not found
#include <mach-o/arm/reloc.h>
         ^
         ^
2 warnings and 1 error generated.

Indeed, my $PREFIX = /opt/local (as default), and the directory /opt/local/include/mach-o doesn't contain a subfolder arm. However, files similar to /mach-o/arm/reloc.h seems available within Xcode (I'm on v6.1.1 currently) for my OS platform version (ie. 10.10):

Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.10.sdk/usr/include/mach-o/arm64/reloc.h
Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.10.sdk/usr/include/mach-o/ppc/reloc.h
Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.10.sdk/usr/include/mach-o/reloc.h
Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.10.sdk/usr/include/mach-o/x86_64/reloc.h

The exact file exists here, but they are not my OS platform, nor the right version either:

• Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneOS.sdk/usr/include/mach-o/arm/reloc.h
• Developer/Platforms/iPhoneSimulator.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneSimulator.sdk/usr/include/mach-o/arm/reloc.h

Any ideas how to resolve this issue I'm facing?

Much appreciated

In the future, please use WikiFormatting and Cc the port maintainers (port info --maintainers ld64), if any. As reporter, you do not need to Cc yourself.

This is not a clean build log. Please clean the port and try again. Then attach the new main.log file.

ld64 has:

depends_build           path:include/mach-o/dyld_priv.h:dyld-headers \
                        path:include/mach-o/arm/reloc.h:libmacho-headers

Your log shows that it is installed:

DEBUG: libmacho-headers 862_2  is active

What's the output of:

port contents libmacho-headers

As requested:

$ sudo port contents libmacho-headers

Port libmacho-headers contains:
  /opt/local/include/mach-o/arch.h.mp_XXX
  /opt/local/include/mach-o/arm/reloc.h.mp_XXX
  /opt/local/include/mach-o/arm64/reloc.h.mp_XXX
  /opt/local/include/mach-o/fat.h.mp_XXX
  /opt/local/include/mach-o/getsect.h.mp_XXX
  /opt/local/include/mach-o/i386/swap.h.mp_XXX
  /opt/local/include/mach-o/ldsyms.h.mp_XXX
  /opt/local/include/mach-o/loader.h.mp_XXX
  /opt/local/include/mach-o/nlist.h.mp_XXX

  /opt/local/include/mach-o/ranlib.h.mp_XXX
  /opt/local/include/mach-o/reloc.h.mp_XXX
  /opt/local/include/mach-o/stab.h.mp_XXX
  /opt/local/include/mach-o/swap.h.mp_XXX
  /opt/local/include/mach-o/x86_64/reloc.h.mp_XXX

...where .mp_XXX represents .mp_<epoch at which time the files were moved>, as done by MacPorts.

tyvm for suggesting I try to run that command, because my issue seems to have been resolved (will need to test on 1 more machine before I confirm this)

anyway, I usually would delete any *.mp_* files under my $prefix, so this does explain why I'm encountering the error I've previously stated in this ticket.

solution is of course to reinstall libmacho-headers, so that sudo port contents libmacho-headers would now show that same filelist, but w/o the trailing .mp_XXX, and the files would also be there as needed.

Yes, I can verify that this suggested fix works perfectly across all my machines. Thanks again
