Build llvm on Tiger

[rudloff@…]

The llvm port says it requires 10.5 and later. But if I download the tarball and manually launch configure && make, it builds just fine. So there must be something in the portfile that prevents building on Tiger.

If I remove the warning in the portfile, I get an unknown flag: -rpath, so I have patched configure to remove the -rpath flag and now I get this :

llvm[2]: Linking Release unit test ADT (without symbols)
/usr/libexec/gcc/i686-apple-darwin8/4.0.1/ld: can't map file: /opt/local/var/macports/build/_Users_pierre_ports_lang_llvm/llvm/work/llvm-2.9/Release/lib ((os/kern) invalid argument)
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

llvm[3]: Linking Release unit test JIT (without symbols)
/usr/libexec/gcc/i686-apple-darwin8/4.0.1/ld: can't map file: /opt/local/var/macports/build/_Users_pierre_ports_lang_llvm/llvm/work/llvm-2.9/Release/lib ((os/kern) invalid argument)

I confirm that, using a very basic portfile (with no added flags or args or patchs), the port builds correctly on Tiger.

The old llvm port is being deprecated soon in favor of the new llvm-2.9, llvm-3.0, and llvm-3.1 ports; you should do your testing with those ports.

I can confirm the same behavior for llvm-2.9 but I don't have time these days to find which argument is causing the build to fail.

[rudloff@…]

Here is a quick workaround before I can investigate this any further.

Here is a better patch.
