Mac Lion py26-game build error

[melb-roscoe@…]

Any help greatly appreciated with, from what i can tell from hours of forums and installation attempts, not an uncommon problem..

The build error is :

:info:build src/scale_mmx64.c:424:27: error: invalid instruction mnemonic 'movsxl'

It is caused by clang (llvm):

:info:build /Developer/usr/bin/clang -DND...

Some google-ing :

17:08  astrange> movsxl with a memory operand is unclear and so forbidden in clang
17:08  astrange> change it to movslq
17:08  fangism> O_o
17:09  astrange> or add -no-integrated-as to cflags

I'm a bit surprised that this is built with clang, my guess is that should be with gcc... Dirty environment maybe?

i'm too much of a MacPorts noob to understand what you've just suggested- sorry, am learning fast. can you help me with code for terminal that will deal with the problem and finish my Deluge build? I'd appreciate it..

Add logs as attachments, don't just paste them into comments (especially without correct formatting).

Python modules will generally build with whatever compiler is specified in the python config, and clang is the default compiler as of Xcode 4.2.

Try the attached patches. Something along these lines:

cd `port dir py26-game`
sudo cp ~/Downloads/patch-src_scale_mmx64.c.diff files/
sudo patch -p0 < ~/Downloads/Portfile.diff
sudo port clean py26-game
sudo port install py26-game

I see, I remember now that I solved this one (and other issues) by reinstalling Xcode 4.1 Thanks for your reactivity and quick fix jmr. (and editing my badly formatted answer ;)

Cc Me!

[melb-roscoe@…]

I can't get past my original errors. how/ where do i attach the patches?

[jmroot (Joshua Root)]

"Attach the patches"? Are you using patches of your own? You use the "Attach file" button to add an attachment.

Thanks, your patch resolves this issue for me (OSX 10.7.2, Xcode 4.2).

BTW, just out of curiosity, is it safe to manipulate the Portfiles in the MacPorts port directories? I.e., will they simply get clobbered by the next Portfile update?

Yes, if you're using rsync (the default method) then the next sync or selfupdate will return the ports tree to matching the state of the master repo.
