povray @3.7.0.8 build failure, Xcode 11.6 clang++ internal error

Reported by: jonas-bjork (Jonas Björk) Owned by: ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)
Priority: Normal Milestone:
Component: ports Version: 2.6.3
Keywords: Cc: jeanlucmargot (Jean-Luc Margot)
Port: povray

Description (last modified by mf2k (Frank Schima))

I get the following message when trying to install povray:

--->  Building povray
Error: Failed to build povray: command execution failed
Error: See /opt/local/var/macports/logs/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_macports_release_tarballs_ports_graphics_povray/povray/main.log for details.
Error: Follow https://guide.macports.org/#project.tickets to report a bug.
Error: Processing of port povray failed

I've tried the $port clean povray and installing again, but it doesn't help. When installing the first time I've got the message:

--->  Some of the ports you installed have notes:
  lzma has the following notes:
    The LZMA SDK program is installed as "lzma_alone", to avoid conflict with LZMA Utils

I'm not sure if this has something to do with anything.

Summary: povray 3.7.0.8 failed installingpovray @3.7.0.8 build failure, Xcode 11.6 clang++ internal error

I believe this is the relevant info from the log:

This needs to be reported to Apple, as the message says, so they can fix it in a future Xcode release. In the meantime, maybe we need to blacklist this specific clang version in povray.

So is there some workaround that allows building the povray port?

comment:4 Changed 4 years ago by kencu (Ken)

You might try:

sudo port -v install clang-9.0
sudo port -v install povray configure.compiler=macports-clang-9.0

or clang-10.

I experienced similar problems. main.log attached for default clang and clang-9.0.

I already have current clang-0.9 installed and used

sudo port -v install povray configure.compiler=macports-clang-9.0

but still get build error with povray. Log attached. Bunch of errors during build, including:

Replying to murrayE:

:info:build ../version:1:1: error: expected unqualified-id

This is the well-known problem with newer compilers where this project includes a file called VERSION but there is a C++ header called version and on a case-insensitive filesystem the former is found instead of the latter. The workaround is to rename the VERSION file to anything else (and fix up any references to that file that might exist in other files). This issue has also been mentioned here: https://github.com/POV-Ray/povray/issues/403

There, they also mention a possible incompatibility with new versions of boost.

povray: Fix build by removing VERSION files

VERSION files conflict with the C++ version header.

Status: newaccepted

That takes care of the ../version:1:1: error: expected unqualified-id problem with new compilers. But it doesn't make any attempt to fix the originally reported fatal error: error in backend: Cannot emit physreg copy instruction problem because I don't know which compiler versions are affected. According to the log, clang 1103.0.32.62 from Xcode 11.6 is affected but the same version of clang is in Xcode 11.5 and 11.7 and I don't know if they are also affected or how many earlier or later versions are too. We were able to compile this on our Catalina buildbot worker on 29-Dec-2019 at which time the latest version of Xcode was 11.3 (clang 1100.0.33.16) so that's probably what we were using then. We were able to build it on Big Sur today with Xcode 12.2 (clang 1200.0.32.27). I guess we should just blacklist the exact version that failed for now, and if additional reports come in about other affected versions we can add them to the list. I'll try to confirm the build failure on Catalina with Xcode 11.7 first.

Replying to ryandesign:

fatal error: error in backend: Cannot emit physreg copy instruction

Testing on Catalina, I cannot reproduce this issue with:

  • Xcode 11.3.1 CLT (clang 1100.0.33.17)
  • Xcode 11.4 CLT (clang 1103.0.32.29)
  • Xcode 11.4.1 CLT (clang 1103.0.32.59)
  • Xcode 11.5 CLT (clang 1103.0.32.62)

(There was no CLT release for 11.6 or 11.7, presumably because the clang version didn't change.)

I had used xcode-select to select the CLT since I didn't want to deal with installing huge Xcode apps. Maybe using a full Xcode is the only way to reproduce the issue but that would surprise me.

Or maybe it only affects certain Mac models. I notice the build system is compiling with -march=native, which it should not do and which we should prevent, but that would cause it to optimize differently for different Intel CPUs; maybe on one particular CPU it doesn't work in this case. I was testing on a 2012 MacBook Pro with Retina Display (MacBookPro10,1). What machines were you testing on, Jonas and Jean-Luc? (I think Murray's issue was just the VERSION file issue, not the cannot emit physreg copy instruction problem.)

In f45de6fc98e7182e6beab83a0f2bc63adeedecc9/macports-ports (master):

povray: Don't build with -march=native

We want a portable binary that can be used with any processor, not just
the processor that's in the build machine.

See: #60961

comment:12 Changed 4 years ago by ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)

Let me know if you still see the problem with povray @3.7.0.8_1, and if you do, let me know your Mac model and CPU.
