opendx @4.4.4: could not find working combination of stat function and structure

[noambernstein]

I'm not sure how far back this goes, but at least under OS X High Sierra 10.13 opendx fails to build. The end of the log file (attached) suggests that the configure failed, because there's no "all" target defined for the make. Poking around the build dir suggests that the configure script didn't make one. Playing around with hand compiling opendx (which I never did successfully) suggests that the error the log file shows about no working version of stat happens when using /usr/bin/gcc, although I have gcc 5.3.0 installed via macports and selected as the default. I'm not sure which is supposed to be getting used here. The +no_java variant also fails to build with the same messages.

Just as a data point I thought I'd install it on my day-to-day system, and it installed from source cleanly without an issue:

$ sudo port -v installed opendx
The following ports are currently installed:
  opendx @4.4.4_4 (active) platform='darwin 10' archs='x86_64' date='2018-06-22T14:30:35-0700'

​Confirmed on High Sierra only; ​successful builds on Sierra and earlier.

Could you attach the config.log file too?

#define macos 1 seems to be the problem.
It conflicts with code from stdio.h, e.g.
__API_AVAILABLE(macos(10.13), ios(11.0), tvos(11.0), watchos(4.0)).

opendx: avoid defining macro macos (system uses it)

Fixes #56716
No revbump since port builds correctly or not at all.
