emacs-app @23.3 doesn't build on Snow Leopard

[plasmaball@…]

I installed the latest macports and followed ​https://trac.macports.org/wiki/Migration by uninstalling all ports first, but emacs failed to build. Please help.

The build log will be uploaded as an attachment.

I only have Snow Leopard and XCode 3.2, so I'm unable to verify what might be needed to resolve this.

It seems that clang compiler could not build emacs-app properly and gcc should be used instead of clang. I recommend that you use Xcode 3.2.* rather than 4.2 on Snow Leopard or upgrade to Lion.

I have found a treatment of clang compiler in aspell port:

# BUILD FIX TODO: clang C++
# clang fails to build this project due to buggy C++ as of 2011.06.28 0.60.6
if {${configure.compiler} == "clang"} {
    configure.compiler llvm-gcc-4.2 
}

I am not sure, but emacs-app might build as well if you add the above to the Portfile and try to compile.

That fixed it for me. For the record, I am using Xcode 4.2 DP<something> (build 4C5163c)

Superseded by #31508, which fixed emacs-app so that it can compile with clang.
