nss fails initial build at link phase

[objectivecanine@…]

While installing Pidgin via MacPorts on a brand new OSX installation, I get the following:

--->  Building nss
Error: Target org.macports.build returned: shell command "cd /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_net_nss/work/nss-3.12.3 && make -C mozilla/security/coreconf/nsinstall NSPR_LIB_DIR=/opt/local/lib/nspr NSS_USE_SYSTEM_SQLITE=1 USE_64=0 && make -C mozilla/security/dbm NSPR_LIB_DIR=/opt/local/lib/nspr NSS_USE_SYSTEM_SQLITE=1 USE_64=0 && make -C mozilla/security/nss NSPR_LIB_DIR=/opt/local/lib/nspr NSS_USE_SYSTEM_SQLITE=1 USE_64=0" returned error 2

This occurs on a 64-bit Intel system running 10.5.7.

I cannot repro. Will need a debug log:

sudo port clean nss
sudo port -d install nss

Also would be helpful to know what version of Xcode you're running, and whether you have MacPorts 1.7.1 or a trunk install.

[objectivecanine@…]

I'm running version 1.710 (as reported by 'port'.

I have a debug log now, and I waded into it, and I can give a more detailed explanation of the symptom:

nspr is compiled as an i386 binary, and nss is being compiled as an x86_64 one, and thus they don't link together:

Note that I am _NOT_ building either as a +universal, and this machine _DOES NOT_ have x86_64 listed in macports.conf!

If you still want a debug log, let me know, and I can stick it somewhere -- I should be around the rest of the week, but it's a really long file and I did poke around changing a couple things after reading it the first time, and silly me, I didn't save it first. :)

Debug output would be very helpful. You can just attach it...

[toby@…]

Possibly fixed by r54941.

Build log for failed nss install

[objectivecanine@…]

I didn't realize until you said so that I could attach a file.

I uninstalled and reinstalled MacPorts, and requested the install of just nss. It bombed again. I cleaned it, tried again with the command you'd wanted, log attached above. Hope this helps!

[toby@…]

Probably didn't pick up the latest change - give it an hour, run selfupdate... hopefully it should work.

[objectivecanine@…]

I did a 'port sync', then uninstalled the few installed packages, and tried again. Worked this time.

[toby@…]

Yeah, thought so. Speculative build fix ftw!

[objectivecanine@…]

Replying to toby@…:

Yeah, thought so. Speculative build fix ftw!

Yes, so I guess nss _is_ all kinds of broken for universal builds. And me wanting everything 64-bit. Especially Ruby, though THAT'S another matter. :) I appreciate the rapid response, though!
