libffi @3.0.10 Build fail

[wademc87@…]

I am currently running Mac OS X @10.7.2 with Xcode @4.2.1. The libffi port fails on the build with the following log message:

I have tried building with different compilers, as suggested in the Problem Hotlist for Xcode 4.2. These compilers did not fix the problem. I have also tried port uninstall and the port install, which does not fix the problem either.

Please "sudo port clean libffi" and try again, and if it fails again, please attach the main.log file.

Replying to ryandesign@…:

Please "sudo port clean libffi" and try again, and if it fails again, please attach the main.log file.

I have tried that already. I am uninstalling and rebuilding macports. If that doesn't fix the problem, I'll attach the main.log file.

[wademc87@…]

Rebuilding macports did not work. I've attached the main.log file.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

That log is not clean. Please "sudo port clean libffi" and try again and attach that main.log.

[wademc87@…]

Sorry, that was a log from a different attempt that was not right after cleaning the port. The issue seems to have resolved itself though - a new attempt to build today succeeded.

Ok, glad you got it working.
