Port: | llvm-5.0 |
Description
For an unclear reason, llvm-5.0
lacks universal variant, and subsequently +universal
is simply ignored, it gets built for a single arch.
However it does build as +universal
once muniversal 1.0
PortGroup is added and variant description is borrowed from earlier llvm:
platform darwin { supported_archs ppc ppc64 i386 x86_64 } variant universal { build.env-append \ UNIVERSAL=1 \ UNIVERSAL_ARCH=[get_canonical_archs] destroot.env-append \ UNIVERSAL=1 \ UNIVERSAL_ARCH=[get_canonical_archs] post-extract { # workaround a bug in Apple's shipped gcc driver-driver, patched in # ours with driverdriver-num_infiles.patch if {${configure.compiler} eq "gcc-4.0" || ${configure.compiler} eq "gcc-4.2" || ${configure.compiler} eq "llvm-gcc-4.2"} { system "echo \"static int ___ignoreme;\" > ${worksrcpath}/tools/llvm-shlib/ignore.c" } } }
Then I built it with macports-gcc-7
:

Replying to kencu:
llvm-5.0 has a universal variant, and builds universal just fine and dandy -- however, it is only enabled to build universal as i386/x86_64, as PowerPC llvm-5.0 is broken and so it is not enabled in the main MacPorts repo.
Most of what you added is not used for the llvm-5.0 branch -- it was used for an older llvm build that built with autotools and is no longer used.
Someday, if Iain or somebody else actually fixes llvm-7.0 (or whichever) to actually work properly, then perhaps some kind soul might properly fix a build for PowerPC that might be accepted into MacPorts, once it is fully tested and vetted to work.
I had a lesser aim in mind, to build ld64 as +universal (ppc+ppc64), which fails with llvm-3.3 and llvm-3.4, but works with llvm-5.0 on PowerPC. ld64-97 +llvm50
works perfectly then.
