libcdr-0.1 @0.1.4_0 does not build on 10.5.8 PPC

[udbraumann]

While trying to upgrade libcdr-0.1from 0.1.3_1 to 0.1.4_0 I noticed that (a) neither one of the preferred compilers (gcc-4.2, apple-gcc-4.2, gcc-4.0, macports-clang-3.4, macports-clang-3.3) will do (due to missing C11 standard or because of missing basic functionality under PPC), and (b) none of the macports-gcc-* (have tried all from 4.8 to 7) work due to some unaccepted syntax inside /opt/local/include/boost/fusion/view/transform_view/detail/value_of_impl.hpp. I issued

$sudo port upgrade libcdr-0.1 configure.compiler=macports-gcc-4.8

and have received dozens of these complaints:

I guess, macports-clang-3.3 or above (or clang from XCode) will accept this. Is there a switch for macports-gcc-* make this syntax being accepted?

[kencu (Ken)]

when building newer software on PPC (or any system) with newer versions of gcc, I find the build can be quite sensitive to exact standard settings. g++11 is not the same as c++11, and then you have gcc14, c++14, and then the 17 series. Rather than trial and error, googling will very often lead to solutions others have found.

Also, with boost on PPC in particular, I find adding configure.args-append -fvisibility-hidden is often needed. I read about why this was needed a few months ago, but I forget just now what the details were.

Finally, you're building in 32bits on PPC, and there can be 32bit / 64bit things to deal with sometimes.

So there are some ideas to ponder.

[kencu (Ken)]

OK. There was some specific stuff in this Portfile that looks like it was a fix for clang. The attached patch to the current Portfile will let you build it on PPC. Not sure if this will make it into the main MacPorts repo though - have to see if it can be made neat and tidy enough.

$ port -v installed libcdr-0.1
The following ports are currently installed:
  libcdr-0.1 @0.1.4_0 (active) platform='darwin 9' archs='ppc' date='2017-10-15T17:09:30-0700'

[kencu (Ken)]

The portfile patch allows build on PPC Leopard (at least).

[kencu (Ken)]

The more I look at this, the more I think this might be the proper fix for the Portfile for all systems. I'll run some builds on 10.6 to 10.8 and see what happens on those systems.
