Error when compiling gcc9 with xcode11.1

[houzeaux]

1. Everything goes well with xcode11.0, but when installing gcc9 with xcode11.1 it fails (I followed exactly the migration procedure). I have the following:

sudo xcode-select --version => xcode-select version 2370.
xcrun --show-sdk-path => /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX.sdk

2. Then I tried to install gcc9

.....

Error: libgcc9 cannot be built while libunwind-headers is active.
Error: Please forcibly deactivate libunwind-headers, e.g. by running:
Error:
Error:     sudo port -f deactivate libunwind-headers
Error:
Error: Then try again. You can reactivate libunwind-headers again later.
Error: Failed to build libgcc9: libunwind-headers is active

3. I desactivated libunwind-headers

5. I attach the log file

log file obtained after trying to install gcc9

[cjones051073 (Chris Jones)]

The build is not clean, the log has multiple instances of

:error:configure Please forcibly deactivate libunwind-headers, e.g. by running:
:error:configure     sudo port -f deactivate libunwind-headers
:error:configure Then try again. You can reactivate libunwind-headers again later.

please run

  sudo port sync
  sudo port -f deactivate libunwind-headers
  sudo port clean libgcc9
  sudo port install libgcc9

and post the log from that last step.

Problem solved, thanks to all the team, the missing step in the following sequence was "sudo port clean libgcc9"! Ticket can be closed. sudo port sync sudo port -f deactivate libunwind-headers sudo port clean libgcc9 sudo port install libgcc9

glad you have it working now. yes, cleaning a port build is always a good idea, when you are attempting rebuild following a previous failure. without it, you are liable to just rerun the same broken configuration.

1. updated to Monterey 3 Macs (intel)
2. macports does not works with same problem - "Failed to build libgcc9"
