Description (last modified by mkae (Marko Käning))

This is the last thing I see in the log for e.g. sox:

DEBUG: Using compiler 'Xcode Clang'
DEBUG: Executing org.macports.configure (sox)
DEBUG: Environment: 
DEBUG: Assembled command: 'cd "/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_audio_sox/sox/work/sox-14.4.2" && ./configure --prefix=/opt/local --enable-largefile --disable-silent-libtool --disable-openmp --enable-symlinks --without-libltdl --with-distro=macosx --with-magic --with-png --without

while the configure seemingly idles forever here on Yosemite.

Just noticing that this could be caused entirely by a pending Xcode update already shown in the AppStore...

This is indeed still an issue on an iMac running Yosemite...

Wondering why xcodebuild hangs in configure phase here, although there are NO unfinished Xcode updates dangling around.

I tried to find out what's going on with dtrace:

$ sudo dtrace  -n 'syscall::open*:entry { printf("%s %s",execname,copyinstr(arg0)); }' | grep xcodebuild

Those last lines repeat on and on...

So, there seems to be some Xcode problem here!

But it seems that those errors occur also without a prior run of xcodebuild...

Interesting... It builds fine on El Cap. Did you install/update the command line tools and accepted the license again?

I updated Xcode a few days ago. The command line tools were installed already before that of course. So, you think I should try reinstalling them? If they needed to be updated as well I expect the AppStore to take care of it...

Just to be sure I ran sudo xcodebuild -license once more and agreed another time, but to no avail: the configure calls still stop. :(

We've seen those hangs in xcodebuild a couple of times now. I suspect that they are caused by a problem in a temp file – to verify that, try to blow away the contents of /var/folders and see if that helps.

Rebooting has reproducibly fixed the hangs in former cases. We'd like to find out why these hangs happen some time, though, and rebooting doesn't really do that.

Oh, thanks for the hint. With that in mind I checked for access to that directory when running a build and it returned this:

when restarting the build I see the first two folder being reused:

I tried to delete both folders in question:

$ sudo rm -rf /var/folders/zz/zyxvpxvq6csfxvn_n0000000000000/
$ sudo rm -rf /var/folders/mp/ymsl09l9253b3vc4b2xl9pw00000gz

but this wouldn't change anything. Now trying to reboot the machine...

After reboot the iMac suddenly had a reset system clock and asked for setting it... Strange. After a few moments obviously the time had been fetched via NTP...

OK, trying another reboot now. :(

I don't think the time has anything to do with it, at least I've never heard before about problems with it.

Thanks for falsifying my theory on /var/folders. Bummer that's not the issue, so we're back at square one. :/

comment:13 Changed 9 years ago by mkae (Marko Käning)

So, now after the 2nd reboot I am successful:

... after the configure it then starts to build as it should. :-)

Watch the "Cleanup At Startup" of backup right at the top! That wasn't there before when starting a build. But it's perhaps due to the reboot itself?!

Replying to cal@…:

I don't think the time has anything to do with it, at least I've never heard before about problems with it.

The time might have caused rpcsvchost to go rogue.

Thanks for falsifying my theory on /var/folders. Bummer that's not the issue, so we're back at square one. :/

Well, perhaps it would have helped if I had cleaned out the whole /var/folders structure?!?

Yeah, "Cleanup At Startup" by backupd sounds like it's due to the reboot itself. So we still don't know what's wrong, but have confirmed again that the workaround is reliable.

I don't think the complete /var/folders would have made any difference, since you verified only files in those subfolders were opened.

OK, so we can close this, I guess?

Is there a more general ticket for this behaviour on trac to which could be mentioned in this ticket, so that the problem doesn't get forgotten?

Is there a wiki entry perhaps?

I don't know how to respond to this ticket but it doesn't sound like a MacPorts-specific problem so I'm going to close it. I know of no other ticket or wiki page tracking this kind of problem.
