apple-gcc42 @5666.3_14 +bootstrap on Tiger PPC fails to build

[snipsnipsnip@…]

Hi, I noticed that building the port apple-gcc42+bootstrap on Tiger PPC fails with message like /CoreOS/Standard/Standard.make: No such file or directory.

$ sudo port clean apple-gcc42
$ sudo port -v install apple-gcc42 +bootstrap

... fetch and patch ...

Relevant lines in the GNUmakefile are:

ifndef CoreOSMakefiles
CoreOSMakefiles = $(MAKEFILEPATH)/CoreOS
endif
include $(CoreOSMakefiles)/Standard/Standard.make

It seems that both $(CoreOSMakefiles) and $(MAKEFILEPATH) hasn't been set on my Mac, making $(CoreOSMakefiles) to be /CoreOS.

I added CoreOSMakefiles="/Developer/Makefiles/CoreOS" to build.args then built successfully.

Not sure if this is the right way, nor if the problem is only for me, but I attach a patch for information:

Build log of non-bootstrap build (after built +bootstrap with apple-gcc42.patch)

[snipsnipsnip@…]

Build failed again in an attempt to reinstall without +bootstrap. I updated patch to handle both case.

Now please reinstall apple-gcc42 without the bootstrap variant by running:

sudo port install apple-gcc42

This will ensure that apple-gcc42 uses MacPorts versions of cctools and ld64
which are newer than the ones included with Xcode and will work better and
prevent some ports from failing to build.

apple-gcc42 install fail main log

[dsmithhfx@…]

I also can't (re)install apple-gcc42 (no -bootstrap), after successfully upgrading apple-gcc42 -bootstrap with this message in output:

Now please reinstall apple-gcc42 without the bootstrap variant by running:

sudo port install apple-gcc42

This will ensure that apple-gcc42 uses MacPorts versions of cctools and ld64 which are newer than the ones included with Xcode and will work better and prevent some ports from failing to build.

(Tiger ppc, port version 2.3.3)

[dsmithhfx@…]

Long story short, I was able to get apple-gcc42 to install by manually installing following dependencies one by one, in reverse order (from main.log): :error:build The following dependencies were not installed: cctools ld64 ld64-97 dyld-headers libmacho-headers

[jeremyhu (Jeremy Huddleston Sequoia)]

Ryan, can you look into this? I don't have Tiger.

[jeremyhu (Jeremy Huddleston Sequoia)]

dsmithhfx, is the issue just that we didn't give you the explicit instructions:

sudo port upgrade --force apple-gcc42 -bootstrap

[dsmithhfx@…]

Replying to jeremyhu@…:

dsmithhfx, is the issue just that we didn't give you the explicit instructions:

sudo port upgrade --force apple-gcc42 -bootstrap

??? Terminal output after successful installation of apple-gcc42 -bootstrap:

Now please reinstall apple-gcc42 without the bootstrap variant by running:

sudo port install apple-gcc42

This is what failed until manual pre-installation of dependencies (as in my previous post).

[dfifer19@…]

I'm Having The Same Problem But apple-gcc42 does not build what do I do? I'm using Mac Os X 10.4.11 Tiger PPC

sudo port install git-core

[larryv (Lawrence Velázquez)]

Has likely duplicate #46852.

[larryv (Lawrence Velázquez)]

Scratch that, no evidence in #46852 that anything is actually wrong.

[larryv (Lawrence Velázquez)]

Is this still an issue with apple-gcc42 @5666.3_15?

[patrick@…]

I've just hit this problem with a clean install of 10.4.11 (PPC). The bootstrap variant installs fine, i.e.

/opt/local/bin/port -d install apple-gcc42 +bootstrap

results in:

DEBUG: Skipping activate (apple-gcc42 @5666.3_15+bootstrap) since this port is already active

But then attempting to install the non-bootstrap variant results in:

# /opt/local/bin/port install apple-gcc42

--->  Computing dependencies for apple-gcc42
--->  Dependencies to be installed: cctools ld64 ld64-97 dyld-headers libmacho-headers
--->  Building cctools

I'll upload the above log file as an attachment.

Thanks,

Patrick

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Patrick, this ticket is about a failure to build apple-gcc42. For your failure to build cctools, please file a new ticket; it is a different issue.

[patrick@…]

Ah okay - apologies :-). Thanks for the quick reply.

i am having this issue when building MPlayer on Tiger 10.4.11 with Xcode 2.5

apple-gcc42 fails to build

[barracuda156]

Both apple-gcc42 +bootstrap and afterwards apple-gcc42 build on Tiger for me with no manual changes.
