w3m build hangs in mktable

[com-macosforge@…]

I can't get the w3m build to complete on 10.4.10 Intel; mktable just spins forever using 100% CPU.

For me: sometimes it builds, sometimes it doesn't. Tried patching out "envp", but that wasn't it.

[hippoman@…]

I have the same problem in 10.5 on my MacBook Pro. It seems to be related to boehmgc, because upon debugging, I see that the mktable program is going into what seems to be an infinite loop on the GC_INIT() line in the code fragment below (from mktable.c):

...
int
main(int argc, char *argv[], char **envp)
{
    FILE *f;
    Hash_ss *hash;
    HashItem_ss **hashitems, *hi;
    int size, n, i, j;
    Str s, name, fbase;
    char *p;
    Hash_hss_i *rhash;

    GC_INIT();
    if (argc != 3) {
        fprintf(stderr, "usage: %s hashsize file.tab > file.c\n", argv[0]);
        exit(1);
    }
    ...

[com-macosforge@…]

Found a solution  here. I modified the Portfile for boehmgc so it built version 6.8 instead of 7.0; w3m then built without a problem.

[an00na@…]

I also met this problem in 10.5 on my iMac, and hope this bug could be fixed soon.

[matthieu.kaczmarek@…]

I had the same problem. I used the following local Portfiles the first one is for boehmgc 6.7 and the second one simply adds a variant 'leopard' for w3m

getting the same hang in mktable in MP 1.6, using beohmgc 7.0, w3m 0.5.2. modified boehmgc portfile to build 6.7. and added leopard variant to w3m. getting this error now:

[sbplrports@…]

there is no mktable hang on my G5 Quad, but it results in the same error as above with either 6.7 or 7.0 boehmgc installed.

Leopard 10.5.2 MP 1.6 Xcode 3.0

[gwright@…]

It builds OK for me with Boehm gc 7.0 if the --enable-parallel-mark option is removed (in the boehmgc port).

In fact, the boehmgc port hangs during it own tests if --enable-parallel-mark is set. I have removed this option and checked in a new revision of the boehmgc port as r35638.

Try uninstalling and reinstalling boehmgc, then clean and rebuild w3m.

[com-macosforge@…]

w3m now builds and runs fine on 10.5.2 and 10.4.11 Intel, but I still got the mktable hang on 10.4.11 PPC:

So much for that; the next time I tried to run w3m on a 10.5.2 Intel machine it hung.

Is anyone still seeing this? I can't reproduce on 10.6/x86_64, 10.5/ppc or 10.4/ppc.
