ecl +universal fails to build

[aaron@…]

The +universal build of ecl trips up ecl's make script as follows.

When executing the following command from the bash prompt:

port install ecl +universal
Warning: port definitions are more than two weeks old, consider using selfupdate

Looking at the log file, we find:

:info:build gcc-4.2: -E, -S, -save-temps and -M options are not allowed with multiple -arch flags
:info:build make[3]: *** [allchblk.lo] Error 1
:info:build make[2]: *** [install-recursive] Error 1
:info:build make[1]: *** [libeclgc.a] Error 2
:info:build make: *** [all] Error 2

etc.

I tried downloading and building ecl from scratch, and had a hunt around in the (quite complex) make script, and couldn't work out how to make a universal build. Is the universal variant of ecl irrevocably borked?

Well, it certainly doesn't work in the port, as you found. Do you really need a universal build? It's possible it could be repaired. Possibly using the muniversal portgroup would help.

Universal variant removed in r89765.
