Can no longer build Root6

[AlexanderLarsRobinson (Alexander Lars Robinson)]

A series of port upgrades was unexpectedly aborted yesterday by root6.10 failing to build. I ignored this until today, whereupon the port being 'broken' (but still working) yet unable to be rebuilt was blocking the installation of new ports. I made the mistake of uninstalling root6 to reinstall it, and now am no longer able to do my job because it simply won't build.

Versions and variants tested (cleaning between each): root6 @6.08.06+clang39+cocoa+cxx14+gcc6+graphviz+gsl+http+minuit2+opengl+python34+roofit+soversion+ssl+tmva+xml (this is what was installed) root6 @6.10.04_3+cocoa+cxx17+gcc7+graphviz+gsl+http+minuit2+opengl+python34+roofit+soversion+ssl+tmva+veccore+xml (root6 +python34) root6 @6.08.06+python34 root6 @6.10.04_3+cocoa+cxx17+gcc6+graphviz+gsl+http+minuit2+opengl+python34+roofit+soversion+ssl+tmva+veccore+xml root6 +python27 (using build instead of install to bypass the binaries)

The error occurs quite late, after about a half-hour of compiling. I'm attaching the logs for last four. They are all about identical, and I find them equally unhelpful. Maybe someone else will understand the problem. The python27 variant can be installed via binaries, but this is of no use to me as I need the python34 variant.

This is on MacOS Sierra with Xcode 9.0. Rebooting the computer did not help.

Apologies for the poor formatting of the second paragraph. Here is a reformatting of sorts:

Versions and variants tested (cleaning between each):
root6 @6.08.06+clang39+cocoa+cxx14+gcc6+graphviz+gsl+http+minuit2+opengl+python34+roofit+soversion+ssl+tmva+xml (this is what was installed)
root6 @6.10.04_3+cocoa+cxx17+gcc7+graphviz+gsl+http+minuit2+opengl+python34+roofit+soversion+ssl+tmva+veccore+xml (root6 +python34)

Addendum: root5 +python34 builds successfully. This has temporarily unblocked my work.

Please add maintainer(s) in the CC field. In this case port info --maintainer root6

Full disclosure: I have no idea how. I can't edit the ticket. (Or did you already add that?)

Xcode 9 has broken all ROOT6 builds. I am working on a fix...

[cjones051073 (Chris Jones)]

I have pushed a candidate fix. Its difficult for me to be sure it works with all OS and Xcode combinations. Please update your ports and give it a try (to be sure you have it you should be installing ROOT6 6.10.06.01).

It has been built successfully. Thank you.
