python311 @3.11.8 still cannot build modules on PPC Leopard, Mac OS X 10.5.8

[ballapete (Peter "Pete" Dyballa)]

The update does not cure the problem described in #69106. Interestingly the crashes started earlier than thought:

Possibly the crashes come from port trying to build py311-meson, which happened quite often I am attaching the last crash log and main.log.

I assumed

  py-bootstrap-modules @2022-12-23_0 (active) requested_variants='' platform='darwin 9' archs='noarch' date='2023-01-22T21:40:10+0100'

was too much out-of-date, so I rebuilt and reinstalled it. Afterwards I let port show leaves of Python 3.11 modules, and deleted them:

port uninstall py311-build py311-installer py311-setuptools py311-wheel

They were just leaves, nothing needed them. And they created some new leaves:

port uninstall py311-packaging py311-pyproject_hooks

So the base Python 3.11 installation was quite clean and I

Successfully built installer-0.7.0-py3-none-any.whl
Successfully built pyproject_hooks-1.0.0-py3-none-any.whl

and I invoked then

port -vsd build py311-build

which caused some disaster (just citing port's comments and inserting some empty lines, not mentioning the need to install two or three other modules):

So I have now, when documenting:

  python311 @3.11.8_0 (active) requested_variants='' platform='darwin 9' archs='ppc' date='2024-02-11T16:43:31+0100'
  py311-installer @0.7.0_0 (active) requested_variants='' platform='darwin any' archs='noarch' date='2024-02-11T22:12:24+0100'
  py311-packaging @23.2_0 (active) requested_variants='' platform='darwin any' archs='noarch' date='2024-02-11T22:14:33+0100'
  py311-pyproject_hooks @1.0.0_0 (active) requested_variants='' platform='darwin any' archs='noarch' date='2024-02-11T22:16:00+0100'

With this setup it does not work to install one kind of modules, others do build and install:

  py311-setuptools @69.0.3_0 (active) requested_variants='' platform='darwin any' archs='noarch' date='2024-02-11T22:41:15+0100'
  py311-pip @24.0_0 (active) requested_variants='' platform='darwin any' archs='noarch' date='2024-02-11T22:51:42+0100'

With pip3 I could try to install those modules that port cannot – because I seem to have now a faulty build_wheel routine?

Source for _Py_dg_infinity is here if you want to investigate: ​https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/v3.11.8/Python/dtoa.c#L1430

Note that that function no longer exists in 3.12 and later, as C99's INFINITY is used instead.

Replying to jmroot:

No, I do not understand how to debug the issue, how to make Python show what it is doing.

Note that that function no longer exists in 3.12 and later, as C99's INFINITY is used instead.

You're trying to make me use the official version! This would be an option. I presume those few ports that depend on Python 3.10 or 2.7 will also work with Python 3.12 when they can accept Python 3.11. At least it would be a test…

[jmroot (Joshua Root)]

I can't debug this either since I have no ppc hardware.
