Still trying to upgrade hdfeos, changing compilers to gcc-mp-4.4 as installed by macports, get this error:

:info:configure checking for C compiler default output file name... 
:info:configure configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables

After looking around I can't find the hdf4 libraries in destroot, but port command shows they are installed and active. Where are they and can this be the cause of my problem?

I don't have /lib/cpp. I have /usr/bin/cpp. Can you attach config.log?

Sorry, the first hdfeos_config.log I attached was the wrong one. Replaced it with the correct one.

It appears that

h4cc -E

causes an error by complaining that

gcc-4.2: -E, -S, -save-temps and -M options are not allowed with multiple -arch flags

I would like to take a look at

$ port installed hdf4

and CFLAGS in ${prefix}/bin/h4cc.

port installed hdf4 gives "hdf4 @4.2.6_0+universal (active)" CFLAGS from h4cc is CFLAGS=" -pipe -O2 -arch x86_64 -arch i386 -O"

h4cc -E of universal variant does not work since multiple -arch is given. It would be better to fix hdf4 to make h4cc -E work correctly but it is beyond the work of the maintainer. I replaced /lib/cpp with /usr/bin/cpp in configure as a quick fix. Committed in r80888.

r80888 fixed the problem when building hdfeos with the universal variant, but the problem doesn't really have anything to do with hdfeos's universal variant; it has to do with hdf4's universal variant. So the problem still occurs when hdf4 is built with the universal variant but hdfeos is built without the universal variant. Why restrict this patch to the universal variant -- why not do it all the time? While we're at it, why not use ${configure.cpp} instead of hardcoding /usr/bin/cpp? See attached patch.

However, we now see that if hdf4 is built +universal and we install hdfeos -universal, hdfeos builds, but ends up being universal anyway! This is a bug in hdf4 for which I've filed #30260.
