Something is up with your gcc7 installation.

:info:configure -- Check for working Fortran compiler: /opt/local/bin/gfortran-mp-7
:info:configure -- Check for working Fortran compiler: /opt/local/bin/gfortran-mp-7  -- broken
:info:configure CMake Error at /opt/local/share/cmake-3.12/Modules/CMakeTestFortranCompiler.cmake:45 (message):
:info:configure   The Fortran compiler
:info:configure     "/opt/local/bin/gfortran-mp-7"
:info:configure   is not able to compile a simple test program.

Please uninstall root6. Then make sure you are able to fully update your outdated ports and that gcc7 is then functional. Once that is done try and reinstall root6.

I also notice you use a lot of optional variants. If you don't really need any of these I recommend removing them. Also note +veccore currently has problems so you will need to remove this variant.

[angelog0 (Angelo Graziosi)]

What you suggest does not work and also this does not work:

$ sudo port uninstall gcc7

$ sudo port clean --all gcc7

Maybe there is some issue with gcc7 @7.3.0_3 which was released with the same bunch of packages (see my OP)

[cjones051073 (Chris Jones)]

Please make sure your ports are fully up to date

sudo port sync
sudo port upgrade outdated

then run

sudo port installed | grep gcc

and post what you get.

[angelog0 (Angelo Graziosi)]

But I already did that... re-read my previous posts. I do always (since installed MacPorts for the first time in 2011)

$ sudo port selfupdate
$ sudo port outdated
$ sudo port upgrade outdated

only root6 failed. As I posted, I uninstalled/reinstalled also gcc7 getting

$ sudo port install gcc7
[...]
--->  Scanning binaries for linking errors
--->  No broken files found.
--->  No broken ports found.

this installs a pre-built binaries for gcc7.

As I wrote, building from source (-s) root6 (only with default variants) fails in the same manner.

Now I have re-uninstalled gcc7 and root6 (cleaning --all) then I am re-installing from source

sudo port install -s root6

This time it is installing gcc7 from source too. Let's see what happens.. (it takes some time)

[cjones051073 (Chris Jones)]

Why are you forcing builds from source ? All of root and gcc have binary tarballs. so just run

sudo port install root6

to get these. gcc takes a long time to install so you will want to get the prebuilt binary.

I asked you to run

sudo port installed | grep gcc

I cannot reproduce your problems nor was there any issues on the buildbots for the latest gcc or root6 updates. Whatever is wrong with your checkout is specific to you. Without more information I cannot say much more.

[cjones051073 (Chris Jones)]

Note the port gcc7 is likely not the issue. I want to see what you have installed for the libgcc<X> ports...

(gcc7 is still building).

[cjones051073 (Chris Jones)]

I saw what you originally posted, I didn't need it again....

I specifically asked for the list of all ports matching gcc as I needed that additional information.

My best bet is when you first upgraded root your various gcc ports where not fully updated. It looks like they now are so I think it should work now.

[angelog0 (Angelo Graziosi)]

No, it does not work, even if you have changed the default from gcc7 to gcc8:

[cjones051073 (Chris Jones)]

Something is very funny with your setup. I cannot reproduce this at all, and nor could the build bots.

Do you have something else, outside MacPorts, installed that could be interfering with things... perhaps in /usr/local ? Do you have any other paths than MacPorts in your $PATH variable ?

This isn't an issue with ROOT though I believe, but an issue with your installation of the gcc compilers.

Can I suggest you try downloading some example fortran test applications and try compiling them. For instance from

​http://www.personal.psu.edu/jhm/f90/examples/

For me MacPorts gcc7 and gcc8 compilers work just fine, e.g.

Oberon ~/Downloads > gfortran-mp-8 array2.f 
Oberon ~/Downloads > ./a.out 
  RESULTS FOR FULL C ARRAY
 AVERAGE OF ALL ELEMENTS IN C =    7.500
 MINIMUM OF ALL ELEMENTS IN C =    2.000

  2.20E+00  2.30E+00

I am afraid, as because I cannot reproduce this you are going to have to investigate it yourself.

[cjones051073 (Chris Jones)]

Actually, looking at your original log again I think something is funny with your compiler tools, as the failure is

:info:configure     Run Build Command:"/usr/bin/make" "cmTC_8f70b/fast"
:info:configure     /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin/make -f CMakeFiles/cmTC_8f70b.dir/build.make CMakeFiles/cmTC_8f70b.dir/build

:info:configure     make: *** [cmTC_8f70b/fast] Error 2

So your as command is failing...

What version of Xcode do you have installed ?

What does

port installed cctools

give you ?

Finally, try

 sudo port uninstall cctools

say yes to 'do you really want to do this'. Then

 sudo port install cctools

[cjones051073 (Chris Jones)]

In the end you should have cctools installed with the Xcode variant, as you are on macOS 10.13

Oberon ~/Downloads > port installed cctools
The following ports are currently installed:
  cctools @895_5+xcode (active)

Oberon ~/Downloads > /opt/local/bin/as --version
Apple LLVM version 9.1.0 (clang-902.0.39.2)
Target: x86_64-apple-darwin17.7.0
Thread model: posix
InstalledDir: /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin

Make sure you have the same, then try root again.

[angelog0 (Angelo Graziosi)]

Good catch! The cctools installed was:

$ port installed cctools
The following ports are currently installed:
  cctools @895_5+llvm50 (active)

i.e. with llvm variant. I don't understand why cctools port was installed with this variant...

Instead the reinstallation was done with the xcode variant!... and now ROOT6 is building..

Thanks for your help and patience.
