Description
On OSX 10.6.8, I was failing to follow these instructions: https://trac.macports.org/wiki/LibcxxOnOlderSystems including the older version here: https://web.archive.org/web/20170331190323/https://trac.macports.org/wiki/LibcxxOnOlderSystems
The output was one cycle, among many, was:
sh-3.2# port install clang_select ---> Scanning binaries for linking errors ---> No broken files found. ---> Found 5 broken ports, determining rebuild order You can always run 'port rev-upgrade' again to fix errors. The following ports will be rebuilt: ncurses @6.1 gettext @0.19.8.1 llvm-3.4 @3.4.2 cctools @895+llvm34 ld64-127 @127.2+llvm34 Continue? [Y/n]: Y Warning: All compilers are either blacklisted or unavailable; defaulting to first fallback option ---> Computing dependencies for libcxx ---> Fetching archive for libcxx ---> Attempting to fetch libcxx-5.0.1_4+universal.darwin_10.i386-ppc.tbz2 from http://kmq.jp.packages.macports.org/libcxx ---> Attempting to fetch libcxx-5.0.1_4+universal.darwin_10.i386-ppc.tbz2 from https://packages.macports.org/libcxx ---> Attempting to fetch libcxx-5.0.1_4+universal.darwin_10.i386-ppc.tbz2 from https://ywg.ca.packages.macports.org/mirror/macports/packages/libcxx ---> Building libcxx Error: Failed to build libcxx: command execution failed Error: See /opt/local/var/macports/logs/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_lang_libcxx/libcxx/main.log for details. Error: Problem while installing libcxx Error: rev-upgrade failed: Error rebuilding ncurses Error: Follow https://guide.macports.org/#project.tickets to report a bug. sh-3.2#
I ended up fixing the problem by changing my universal architectures in /opt/local/etc/macports/macports.conf as follows:
# CPU architectures to use for Universal Binaries (+universal variant) #universal_archs i386 ppc # breaks libcxx binary support universal_archs i386 x86_64
which enabled me to find the prebuilt libcxx here: https://packages.macports.org/libcxx
Anyone whose macports started out on OSX 10.5 could have this problem. Should it be documented on, or linked from the libcxx page above?
