vtk @8.2.0_11 +python39 : fails to build on arm/Monterey

[fradexnox (Paula Quiroz Rojo)]

This fails to build on my MacBook Pro.

What is unnerving is that it builds finely on the computer of a co-worker. We have the same version of:

• MacOS (12.4)
• XCode (13.4.1)
• Clang (Apple clang-1316.0.21.2.5).

zip of the main.log file (had to zip because of size restriction)

Hmm, according to your log, clang is crashing.

clang: error: unable to execute command: Segmentation fault: 11
clang: error: clang frontend command failed due to signal (use -v to see invocation)
Apple clang version 13.1.6 (clang-1316.0.21.2.5)

You could attach the crash log that macOS should have placed into /Library/Logs/DiagnosticReports though I'm not sure if we'll be able to interpret it to find the cause.

Hello,

Contrary to what the logs says, there is no ".crash" file, there are only clang-2022-07-05-105114.000.ips and clang-2022-07-05-105114.ips files.

Since it is a compiler error, I tried to re-install the port with the " +gccdevel" variant, but I met another error :

:info:build duplicate symbol '_exodus_unused_symbol_dummy_1' in:
:info:build     CMakeFiles/vtkexodusII.dir/src/ex_create_par.c.o
:info:build     CMakeFiles/vtkexodusII.dir/src/ex_open_par.c.o
:info:build ld: 1 duplicate symbol for architecture arm64
:info:build collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
:info:build make[2]: *** [lib/libvtkexodusII-8.2.1.dylib] Error 1
:info:build make[2]: Leaving directory `/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_macports_release_tarballs_ports_graphics_vtk/vtk/work/build'

In the end I managed to install the vtk module for python using pip. So I am out of trouble... If this is too much of trouble for you to solve you may close the ticket.

Anyway thanks for you help.

@fradexnox or anyone, VTK is now updated. Please re-test vtk +python39 or greater, and post here, so we can close this ticket. Thanks.

Edit: Re-test on arm/Monterey with python variant is needed because it is the target of this ticket. The default variant is doing fine on all of the ARM buildbots.

[Dave-Allured (Dave Allured)]

Please close this ticket. If this problem still exists after updating, please start a new ticket against the new version.

1. VTK is now updated to 9.3.0.

2. No response to test request.
