Unable to build texlive-bin on OS X 10.7.5 (Lion) with Xcode 4.6.3. Trouble with with compiling c++?

Fixed by adding PortGroup cxx11 1.1 which forces a build with clang-4.0. Otherwise, the way the portfile plays out with the current blacklisting, it tries to build with llvm-gcc-4.2 which fails.

$ port -v installed texlive-bin
The following ports are currently installed:
  texlive-bin @2017_0+x11 (active) platform='darwin 11' archs='x86_64' date='2017-07-15T19:42:08-0700'

Using PortGroup cxx11 1.1 would also have the added benefit of fixing the build on PPC...

Another approach would have been to blacklist llvm-gcc-4.2 as well as the other gcc versions that are already blacklisted.

Thank you both. After adding "PortGroup cxx11 1.1" to "/opt/local/var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/macports/release/tarballs/ports/tex/texlive-bin/Portfile" MacPorts clang-4.0 rather that Xcode llvm-gcc-4.2 is used during configure

May I ask the significance of "PortGroup cxx11 1.1", please? Also, why sudden issue with older versions of OS X?

[kencu (Ken)]

until recently (dunno when exactly) llvm-gcc-4.2 could build this. The current portfile reflects this old knowledge. But things evolve, and it can't any more. Jeremy noticed this, and found out the port could build with clang-3.7 or so, or better, so he added a blacklist for clang < 500.

But the blacklisting plan in the portfile still allows llvm-gcc-4.2, so that is what was used (and failed). It could be blacklisted, and then according to the portfile specs, some clang newer than ver 500 would be used.

Adding the cxx11 portgroup jumps past all this, and forces a build with clang-4.0 (which works).

There is still a hole in the logic of the PortGroup cxx11 1.1, however. The libc++ section would need to blacklist older clangs < 500 for this to all be neat and tidy.

If I were king of nothing, Macports base would default to always build everything with clang-4.0 on Intel. That would solve a lot of needless troubles with compiler selection variations between machines, IMHO. A few exceptions for Fortran and PPC would still exist, but the rest of the builders would be very very consistent then.

I'm sure there is some reason I can't think of right now why this isn't done, tho.

Thanks for the useful info.

FYI there is a pull request pending for this. <​https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/639>

[michaelld (Michael Dickens)]

I just ran across this issue & Ken's fix works for me too (solved independently). I like his PR; looks good to me!

This port requires C++11 for building, so using one of the various cxx11 PG's makes sense. The 1.0 version won't solve the issue on older OSs, while the 1.1 version does.

What's the hold-up in merging the PR?

[kencu (Ken)]

Thanks, Michael -- I'm waiting on my commit permissions so I can take care of these things myself without such long delays.

In 2b1e49d05cd18b699f4fb1faf0b9f6c4890c3906/macports-ports:

texlive-bin: add cxx11 1.1 PortGroup

fixes build on older systems
still need to specificy clang > 500 however
can delete other compiler blacklisting as that is

now handled by cxx11 1.1 PortGroup
