OpenBLAS @0.3.21 has a problem on PPC Mac OS X 10.4.11, Tiger, with 'mktemp'

The code is:

  244	case "$data" in
  245	    *HAVE_C11*)
  246	        tmpd=`mktemp -d`
  247	        tmpf="$tmpd/a.c"
  248	        printf "#include <stdatomic.h>\nint main(void){}\n" >> "$tmpf"
  249	        args=" -c -o $tmpf.o $tmpf"
  250	        c11_atomics=1
  251	        {
  252	            $compiler_name $flags $args >/dev/null 2>&1
  253	        } || {
  254	            c11_atomics=0
  255	        }
  256	
  257	        rm -rf "$tmpd"
  258	        ;;
  259	esac

My PowerBook G4 has:

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root admin 13716 19. Jan 2022  /opt/local/lib/bash/mktemp
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root admin    22  7. Jul 12:06 /opt/local/libexec/gnubin/mktemp -> /opt/local/bin/gmktemp
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 14076 21. Mär 2005  /usr/bin/mktemp

Obviously Apples /usr/bin/mktemp` is being used:

pete 241 /\ /usr/bin/mktemp -d
usage: mktemp [-d] [-q] [-t prefix] [-u] template ...
       mktemp [-d] [-q] [-u] -t prefix 
Exit 1
pete 242 /\ /opt/local/libexec/gnubin/mktemp -d
/tmp/tmp.vqK25Du8tm
pete 243 /\ rmdir /tmp/tmp.vqK25Du8tm

Using /usr/bin/mktemp it would need an additional -d /tmp/tmpdir${$} or such argument.

Later this warning appears:

There are more warnings, about variables used uninitialised or that could change in value when inherently converted between different types, or were left unused or ignored. (Compilation still going on.)

[kencu (Ken)]

the usual drill for this is to add a dep on coreutils and patch in gmktemp

[ballapete (Peter "Pete" Dyballa)]

Replying to kencu:

On PPC Leopard, Mac OS X 10.5.8 I changed mktemp to gmktemp and the build suceeded. I'll attach my simple patch afterwards.

[ballapete (Peter "Pete" Dyballa)]

Simple patch to change too old mktemp to gmktemp in c_check shell script

[NicosPavlov <pavillon.nicolas@…>]

In c695cff543596a7c83e212c1325ec0d1d6dc879b/macports-ports (master):

OpenBLAS: update *-devel to latest commit (63d063)
Fix build on older PPC macs (see #65668)

[NicosPavlov]

Thank you for the patch, I left the ticket open in order to confirm that it indeed fixes the issue before closing it.

[kencu (Ken)]

forgot the coreutils dep.

See comment:2

[ballapete (Peter "Pete" Dyballa)]

OpenBLAS built nevertheless overnight.

[NicosPavlov <pavillon.nicolas@…>]

In 5fba12a6edc2dcde2974bd56b591972a78c33b64/macports-ports (master):

OpenBLAS: add forgotten dependency (see #65668)

[NicosPavlov]

Thanks for the comment, I added the dependency. I'll mark the ticket as fixed at this point.
