main.log error file

Can I help with this - perhaps nobody responsible has access to the M1 chip? It has been many weeks and this issue blocks GDAL from being installed. Let me know what I can do.

[PaulWessel (Paul Wessel)]

It is the same failure with geos 3.9.0 I see.

The main.log for geos-3.8.1 shows duplicate symbol errors:

@PaulWessel, can you confirm the same errors in your 3.9.0 build, or is it something else?

[Dave-Allured (Dave Allured)]

@PaulWessel, never mind, I got it. It is the same duplicate symbol errors in 3.9.0. This from a Macports buildbot:
​https://build.macports.org/builders/ports-11_arm64-builder/builds/5555
See log file 2.1, "stdio".

Reported upstream: ​https://trac.osgeo.org/geos/ticket/1090

[Dave-Allured (Dave Allured)]

@PaulWessel et al, geos just updated to 3.9.1. That includes a possible fix for Arm/Apple Silicon. Please test ​https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/9985 if you have a chance.

[Dave-Allured (Dave Allured)]

Corrected PR:

​https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/10003

[Dave-Allured (Dave Allured)]

In PR ​https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/10003 it is reported that this geos version builds on Apple Silicon. I'm waiting to see how the Macports Arm build bot likes it.

[Dave-Allured (Dave Allured)]

In bfd0852ca50838dfa6b02655c6d745b49bf86e99/macports-ports (master):

geos: update to 3.9.1

Possible fix for #61821

[Dave-Allured (Dave Allured)]

Fixed by Geos 3.9.1 and ​https://trac.macports.org/changeset/bfd0852ca50838dfa6b02655c6d745b49bf86e99/macports-ports. Please close this ticket.
