openmpi-gcc8 - Port is still broken after rebuilding on Max 10.14 Mojave + Xcode 11

[jmbeuken (Jean-Michel Beuken)]

First of all, fresh install on MacOS X 10.14 and some ports installed with success...
But :

sudo port diagnose

Error: currently installed version of Xcode, 11.0, is not supported by MacPorts.  For your currently installed system, only the following versions of Xcode are supported:  10.3 10.2.1 10.2 10.1 10.0

Warning: found dylibs in your /usr/local/lib directory. These are known to cause problems. We'd recommend  you remove them.

can this be a problem?

We get the same round-in-circles problem with building openmpi-gcc9 with default variants, on both 10.13 and 10.14, with a freshly downloaded and updated MacPorts 2.6.0 which is otherwise empty. More details to follow (I'm offsite), but I'll try port diagnose on an empty build as soon as I'm in contact with our build servers again.

Please feel free to request other specific tests. Thanks in advance.

Once I remembered to add /opt/local/sbin to $PATH, port diagnose comes up empty on both test servers.

--- Ah: now I think I see at least part of the problem (please see massive attached logfile):

openmpi-gcc9 is using libstdc++ (this installation is configured to use libc++)

Curious, as this is on systems with fresh and otherwise-empty MacPorts builds. Guidance, please, folks; and apologies for repeating the original submission.

We should add Xcode 11 to the list of supported versions.

You should remove what you have installed in /usr/local.

Should we, with all the problems it's causing currently?

[ohenrich (Oliver Henrich)]

Sorry to jump on this conversation. I see very similar problems (repeated build of a broken port -- to no avail) with older versions of Xcode (10.3 and 10.2.1). I removed the stuff in /usr/local and my port diagnose is clean.

I attached the configuration and main log of the build and would be very interested in a solution as my students and I are stuck without openmpi.

[ohenrich (Oliver Henrich)]

PS: The issue seems to be that the C compiler can't create exectables. But when I invoke the compiler using the full path /opt/local/bin/gcc-mp-9 it works fine.

removed..

ok for "port diagnose" :

but, for the build of openmpi_gcc8, not better :-(

Have you tried an older version of Xcode? You can download them from the Apple developer portal. I tried Xcode 10.3 and 10.2.1 to no avail. Both also don't work in my case and the problem persists.

[jbgoette (Jörg Götte)]

I am sorry to chime in, but because this issue appeared first for me after installing Xcode 11, I did a fresh installation of MacOS 10.14.6 and Xcode 10.3 on a new computer I am setting up, but I still get the repeated build of a broken port openmpi-gcc9.

[gguillamet (Gerard Guillamet)]

Hello,

Same to me. I also did a fresh installation of Xcode 10.3, but I still get the repeated build broken port for open-mpi-gcc8.

[rieder (Steven Rieder)]

Same problem for me. After removing Xcode 11 and reinstalling Xcode 10.3, the problem persists...

[lazersos (Samuel Lazerson)]

I think this may partially be a MacPorts bug. I did as others and removed XCode 11 and installed Xcode 10.3. I then attempted to download MacPorts 2.5.4. The installer text says it 2.5.4 but when it run the 'port' command it reports the code as version v2.6 not 2.5.4 and I can't seem to build openmpi-gccX (tried gcc8 and gcc9) or OpenBLAS.

[rieder (Steven Rieder)]

I find that I can build openmpi-gcc8, and while macports insists it needs rebuilding, it seems to work fine if I just ignore that. I have the same problem with hdf5.

The problem seems to be entirely down to the openmpi port. I switched to mpich-devel-gcc9 and have no issues at all.

That is interesting, I just tried to build mpich-devel-gcc9 from sources and ran again into the broken port issue, but if I install the binary archive it works without a problem.

By any chance, did ​the recent change fix this problem?
If so, another rebuild is still necessary.

It does for me in a quick test build. (I would have seen it earlier if I hadn't tripped over an interesting dependency anomaly which need not detain us here.) More thorough testing to follow.

Yes, [ttps://github.com/macports/macports-ports/commit/31b04db7a19d7d0b5b9952943094cbca2620723e this] seems to have fixed it for me as well.

[MarcusCalhoun-Lopez (Marcus Calhoun-Lopez)]

I am glad things seem to be working.
I will close this ticket as fixes.
