gd2: clang: error: invalid version number in 'MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=11.1'

[k6wx (Kristen McIntyre)]

When trying to install the gnuradio port, it appears to require gd2. gd2 will not install correctly. I completely removed MacPorts, removing all directories and files, but it still fails. It warns about the macOS 11.1 SDK, but that's because i'm running the latest beta of Big Sur: 20C5061b. It should be okay with the installed SDK.

Trying to install gd2 on its own also fails. Uninstalling it and cleaning it before attempting again doesn't fix it.

Warning: The macOS 11.1 SDK does not appear to be installed. Ports may not build correctly.
Warning: You can install it as part of the Xcode Command Line Tools package by running `xcode-select --install'.

I don't see this issue on macOS 11.1 20C5061b / Xcode 12.2 12B5035g, with either +x11 or without (I use -x11 +quartz by default). I'll update to the latest beta of each & see again ...

[michaelld (Michael Dickens)]

The error in config.log is clang: error: invalid version number in 'MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=11.1', which leads me to believe that your Xcode install isn't the correct one ... or, maybe it is but has a bug in it? Which verion of Xcode are you running (echo "Xcode $(xcodebuild -version | awk -v ORS=' ' '{print $NF}')"?

[michaelld (Michael Dickens)]

FYI once you get this resolved you should be able to install gnuradio with -qtgui. There is a PR for updating Qt5 to the latest version that is in the works here ​https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/8744 ... you can always install from that PR & then use +qtgui (which is the default) & that should get you all of gnuradio that can work on macOS.

Still builds cleanly for me now running macOS 11.1 20C69 / Xcode 12.3 12C33 ... +x11 or not. I see the usual warning from port about The macOS 11.0 SDK does not appear to be installed. Ports may not build correctly. Warning: You can install it as part of the Xcode Command Line Tools package by running 'xcode-select --install'. ... and then of course trying to install the CLT fails since 12.3 doesn't have them (at all? yet?) ...

[k6wx (Kristen McIntyre)]

Thanks for looking at this.

Here's the version.

bash-3.2# echo "Xcode $(xcodebuild -version | awk -v ORS=' ' '{print $NF}')" Xcode 12.2 12B45b

So, a slightly older Xcode than you. I have Xquartz installed. Xquartz says it's up-to-date at version 2.7.11.

Did you figure out from the logs what precisely failed? The only visible errors I found were these. The configure script is such a tangled mess that I don't know if that's normal or not.

I too have this problem. Mac Pro(2019), Big Sur 11.2.3, Xcode 12.5 12E262 config.log ends in

configure: exit 77

When ./configure runs under MacPorts, it fails exit 77. When the same ./configure line is executed from the command line, with the same $path, then everything works.

I will attach the two logs config_macports.log config_samepath.log .

[dmopalmer (David Palmer)]

Palmer: 2021-05-04 Macports config run log (failed)

[dmopalmer (David Palmer)]

Palmer: 2021-05-04 Manually running ./configure with same $PATH as macports (succeeds, but selects different compiler, etc.)

[kencu (Ken)]

seems to be the same issue as before, but with a new deployment target.

MacPorts sets the deployment target to the right value of "11.2" but this is making the compiler error.

[dmopalmer (David Palmer)]

Is there a work-around? My clang is Apple version 12.0.5

% /usr/bin/clang --version
Apple clang version 12.0.5 (clang-1205.0.22.9)

Replying to michaelld:

The error in config.log is clang: error: invalid version number in 'MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=11.1', which leads me to believe that your Xcode install isn't the correct one

This error means that the clang in your Xcode or in your Xcode command line tools—whichever one this port is using—is not compatible with macOS 11. In this case, this port is using the Xcode command line tools, so it is the version of the Xcode command line tools that you have installed that is not compatible with your OS.

Please make sure you are using a version of Xcode that is compatible with your OS version. Xcode 12.2 and later are compatible with macOS 11 Big Sur, but the latest Xcode 12.x is recommended. That's currently Xcode 12.5.

You must also make sure that if you install the Xcode command line tools, its version matches your Xcode version. Due to a bug in macOS, Software Update may not offer to upgrade the Xcode command line tools for you, so do it manually by following the instructions in the wiki page or by ​downloading it from Apple.

[dmopalmer (David Palmer)]

I am on Big Sur 11.2.3, Big Sur 11.2.3 (latest until a few days ago), Xcode 12.5 (latest).

Manually installing the command_line_tools_for_xcode_12.5 from the Apple Dev site gives the same clang-1205.0.22.9 as previously installed by Xcode. (Assuming that the clang in /usr/bin is among those command line tools.)

Anyway, the same result from port install gd2 after all that.

I will try upgrading to Big Sur 11.3 overnight and see if that works.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Upgrading to macOS 11.3 is recommended but is not related to resolving this issue.

/usr/bin/clang is a wrapper program that invokes whichever clang you have selected with xcode-select. You have probably selected Xcode, in which case /usr/bin/clang --version will tell you what version of clang is in Xcode, when what is actually relevant to resolve this issue is what version of clang is in the Xcode command line tools. You can query them individually by invoking the real programs directly:

% /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin/clang --version
Apple clang version 12.0.5 (clang-1205.0.22.9)
Target: x86_64-apple-darwin20.4.0
Thread model: posix
InstalledDir: /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin
%

% /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/clang --version
Apple clang version 12.0.5 (clang-1205.0.22.9)
Target: x86_64-apple-darwin20.4.0
Thread model: posix
InstalledDir: /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin
%

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Installing the matching Xcode command line tools should resolve the issue. You will also need to clean the affected port(s) before trying again e.g. sudo port clean gd2

[dmopalmer (David Palmer)]

After cleaning gd2 (which I had previously tried) it now builds properly.

Thank you.
