Please add the port's maintainer to the CC field, in this case port info --maintainer eigen.

Also attach the log file ( in this case /opt/local/var/macports/logs/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_macports_release_tarballs_ports_math_eigen3/eigen3/main.log

Thank you for attaching the log. This does not appear to be a Sierra specific problem.

As reporter, you do not need to Cc yourself.

[TimArnold]

OK thanks
first time I've used this
many thanks for the help
I couldn't find a way to alter the cc field once ticket submitted

It built just fine on the buildbots and on my sierra system. Try in sandbox mode?

A similar problem occurs on both of my Macs (iMac 2015, MBP 2015) both running Sierra 10.12.5. Both Macs recently got an update for Xcode 8.3.3 (if that matters).

I will add my main.log and also the CMakeError.log / CMakeOutput.log which are mentioned in the main.log.

[TimArnold]

Thanks for input
I haven't tried sandboxing the install
Is there a simple command to try this?

what version of Xcode are you running?

[eborisch (Eric A. Borisch)]

Xcode 8.3.3 as well. I'm curious why you aren't getting the packages from the buildbot. You don't need +clang39 since you aren't doing +doc; if you drop it, it should get a package from the buildbot.

In main.2.log, there are some other errors I don't see:

:info:configure CMake Warning at /opt/local/share/cmake-3.8/Modules/Platform/Darwin.cmake:170 (message):
:info:configure   The SDK Library/Frameworks path
:info:configure    //Library/Frameworks
:info:configure   is not set up correctly on this system.  This is known to occur when
:info:configure   installing Xcode 3.2.6:
:info:configure    http://bugs.python.org/issue14018
:info:configure   The problem may cause build errors that report missing system frameworks.
:info:configure   Fix your SDK symlinks to resolve this issue and avoid this warning.

:info:configure   /opt/local/share/cmake-3.8/Modules/CMakeSystemSpecificInformation.cmake:26 (include)
:info:configure   CMakeLists.txt:1 (project)

Also not sure what to make of that, especially when I can't reproduce.

[eborisch (Eric A. Borisch)]

You have updated the command line tools, too, right? I can't recall if you have to do something separate for that anymore. All other ports are up-to-date?

[nablamalnabla]

Other ports are up-to-date, and Xcode command line tools as well.. On starting Xcode once, I got a prompt 'additional components required' to which I responded 'install', however, this has not fixed the configure failure.

I am not sure why I have +clang39 active; but it might have been required from the dependent port (py27-graph-tool) which also has the option +clang39. So I am also not sure if I can just install eigen3 without it. As a last resort, I could try to re-install py-graph-tool from scratch without that option; it seems to be the only port that requires eigen3 on my system.

[jkulesza (Joel A. Kulesza)]

I am also seeing failure on eigen3 configure (see attached jkulesza_eigen3_main.log). I'm posting here because it looks like the issue is the same as in OP's main.log. Please let me know if I should create a new ticket.

This is with OS X 10.11.6 and Xcode 8.2.1.

My ports are up-to-date with the exception of libnetpbm (see Ticket #54428).

Please let me know what additional diagnostic information would be helpful.

[eborisch (Eric A. Borisch)]

Something is going sideways with cmake for some users, apparently. Please attach the files (running sh -c 'open `port dir eigen3`/work/build/CMakeFiles' should open their containing directory for you) CMakeError.log and CMakeOutput.log and we'll start there.

[eborisch (Eric A. Borisch)]

Fixed (hopefully) in ​https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/commit/c08dd5852b820767ac8753c19f29d353540e66f0
