Please see attached log file

Thank you!

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Indeed, thread-local storage is not supported on Snow Leopard or earlier. Ken has done some work into fixing that... Has that gotten any closer to being ready?

[mrkapqa]

Hello ,

thank you so much for helping with this. Could you please show also how to checkout correctly mpv@0.22 with all the libraries from that time? i could not setup it correctly, so that it would build with the depdendencies of that particular git checkout; it seems that mpv always wants to build with latest dependencies.

[kencu (Ken)]

Thread_local is now working for all systems, using clang-5.0 through clang-7.0, and is rolled out to the main repo (you can get it by using the cxx11 1.1 PG). Thread_local also works on gcc48 and up, for completeness of comment.

(BTW, I also fixed mpv, so don't bother with any fancy checking out older versions business, just install it and you should be fine -- if not, let me know what goes wrong.)

[kencu (Ken)]

I should say gnutls won't build for me anyway, due to :

In file included from psk.c:41:
./psktool-args.h:63:3: error: option template version mismatches autoopts/options.h header
# error option template version mismatches autoopts/options.h header
  ^

  ^
./psktool-args.h:64:11: error: expected ';' after top level declarator
  Choke Me.
          ^
          ;

which I am led to believe from this <​https://lists.gnupg.org/pipermail/gnutls-devel/2015-August/007721.html> we might be able to fix by autoreconf-ing it or autoconf-ing it (I am still not clear on what the difference is between those two).

[kencu (Ken)]

well we already do autoreconf it, so that's not going to help. Must be some other solution...

[mrkapqa]

Replying to kencu:

Thank you, it would not install on my Core CPU MacPro1.1/2.1, could it be because it is missing SSE4 extension set?

Sudo port install mpv always fails@029.1. to apply patches ony va computer.

[kencu (Ken)]

If you

sudo port clean mpv
sudo port selfupdate
sudo port -v install mpv

you should not see any patch failures since the last commit I did in December.

if you do, please show me a log so I can see why that might be happening.

Best,

Ken

[Schamschula (Marius Schamschula)]

Indeed, I also saw this failure on the buildbots last night.

Unfortunately, I no longer have any sufficiently old machines in working condition to explore this issue.

[mrkapqa]

Ken, please see additional log;

i do have older computer running, so if there is anything i can do to help, please let me know it(your-average-user).

[kencu (Ken)]

So you should find mpv to be fixed on 10.6.8:

$ port -v installed mpv
The following ports are currently installed:
  mpv @0.29.1_2+audiocd+dvd+libarchive+network+opengl+osd+python27+rubberband+x11 (active) platform='darwin 10' archs='x86_64' date='2018-12-16T10:25:41-0800'

if not, please open a ticket about mpv with a build log and I'll help sort that out.

Regarding gnutls, the thread_local thing is trivial to fix as above, but that doesn't fix the build of gnutls, unfortunately.

It looks like you need to add --enable-local-libopts to the configure.args

See comment near the bottom of ​https://github.com/appneta/tcpreplay/issues/430

[Schamschula (Marius Schamschula)]

Oh wait. I already had that...

[Schamschula (Marius Schamschula)]

On the other hand, one could try --enable-libopts-install instead.

[kencu (Ken)]

thanks, I'll try that

[kencu (Ken)]

sadly that didn't work. however there is a way:

$ port -v installed gnutls
The following ports are currently installed:
  gnutls @3.6.5_0+doc (active) platform='darwin 10' archs='x86_64' date='2019-01-08T19:51:10-0800'

I'm not sure how / why exactly yet, but this:

plus building with clang-5.0, plus deactivating autoconf and autogen, plus building in trace mode, plus having my system defaulting to libc++ -- some or all of that -- allowed it to build.

[kencu (Ken)]

ok, the secret seems to be disabling autogen - the build fails if that is active (which makes sense).

[hidikal (Andrew Norrie)]

I required these changes to the current portfile, ​https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/commit/8ca67432c550eeaecb8f280930d4be8069180ccb, to build on Snow Leopard.

The blacklist clang < 400 does not catch macports-clang-3.4 and macports-clang-5.0 is not selected without adding to the whitelist.

[kencu (Ken)]

I will put something temporary together. There is a major rewrite to MacPorts' compiler selection coming shortly, but too many people are messed up by this in the meantime.

gnutls: force a thread_local supporting compiler

also need a newer NM on some older systems
closes: #57872

[kencu (Ken)]

I made a meaningful attempt to resolve this. Too much code, but we'll see if we've covered off all the bases with it. Best of luck, buildbots!
