orc 0.4.7 build fails due to use of 'posix_memalign' of 10.5

[michaelld@…]

MacPorts 1.9.1.99, OSX 10.5.8 i386 only, XCode 3.1.3.

Building in the 'orc-test' directory needs to be disabled. OSX does not provide 'posix_memalign', nor IIRC a way of arbitrary alignment (just on a page boundary via 'valloc'). Ideally, the configure script would check for 'posix_memalign' function and then the code would use something else if it is not available.

Also observed on OS X 10.5.8 ppc. However, it builds without error on 10.6.4 universal. So seems to be a Leopard and possibly earlier problem.

Required for schroedinger, the dirac codec implementation, and thus for ffmpeg.

seen also with 10.4.11 PPC

Replying to michaelld@…:

MacPorts 1.9.1.99, OSX 10.5.8 i386 only, XCode 3.1.3.

Building in the 'orc-test' directory needs to be disabled.

Unfortunately, it's not that easy. The tools directory depends on orc-test. After port patch orc, I cd to the work directory and edited the top-level Makefile to remove the orc-test directory from SUBDIRS. Then port upgrade orc results in

/sigh/

I'm working on a set of patches to check if 'posix_memalign' and 'valloc' are available; does #ifdef's around them in the file orc-test/orcarray.c, and if neither are available does a #error. This fix (or, something like it) should be pushed upsteam. I'll check it in when it works here, and hopefully it'll work for everyone else too :)

[michaelld@…]

Fixed in r70897. Please 'sync', 'clean' and try to 'upgrade' again. I'm closing this ticket as fixed, but if these patches don't work for you please reopen it.

[russell.jones@…]

Doesn't work for me. main.log attached.

orc build failure

[michaelld@…]

Looks like you need to sync your ports & try again:

sudo port clean orc
sudo port sync
sudo port upgrade orc

should do the trick. Try that and let me know if it works or not.

[russell.jones@…]

Failed again, this time at the fetch stage. Did

sudo port clean orc
sudo port selfupdate 
sudo port upgrade outdated

which I believe to be equivalent to the steps you mentioned. main.log attached again.

BTW> You can tell if the patches are in place if you look at the debug log (e.g., as attached) -- search for "sigsetjmp" and you should see something like the following:

checking for sigaction... yes
checking for sigsetjmp... yes
checking for posix_memalign... no
checking for valloc... yes
checking for clock_gettime in -lrt... no
checking for monotonic clocks... no

and the "yes" or "no" of the middle 2 (checks for "posix_memalign" and "valloc") will vary depending on your OS, but at least one of the 2 should be "yes". If the middle 2 are not in place (i.e., the listing skips from "sigsetjmp" to "clock_gettime"), then the patches are not there & you need to do the "clean", "sync", and "upgrade" as above.

[michaelld@…]

OK; if you do

pushd `port dir orc`
ls files

does the 'ls' work, and if so does it show any files?

[russell.jones@…]

Yes, patch_config.h.in.diff (623b) patch_configure.diff (628b) and patch_orc-test_orcarray.c.diff (864b)

[michaelld@…]

My bad; forgot to change patch names in the Portfile :) Fixed in r70899. Try the "sync" and such again.

[drjesacco@…]

Portfile patch: fixes typos

[russell.jones@…]

It's doing the same thing just now. I'll give it a few minutes and try again.

[k.makisupa@…]

Better now.....its working as expected.

---> Attempting to fetch orc-0.4.7.tar.gz from ​http://distfiles.macports.org/orc

as opposed to "patch-configure.diff"

[russell.jones@…]

Now compiles fine. Thanks :-)

[michaelld@…]

You're welcome; glad we all got it work :)
