libplist 1.8 does not compile with clang

[ja_macports@…]

But it does if I do:

sudo port install libplist configure.compiler=llvm-gcc-4.2

Hello,

I'm updating my macport version from 2.0.3 to 2.0.4. My Xcode version is 4.3. I have several warning Warning: Xcode appears to be installed but xcodebuild is unusable; some ports will likely fail to build.

Can you help me please ?

Best regards

If you still need help with this, please ask on the macports-users mailing list; it has nothing to do with this ticket.

You did get an answer. Ryan replied and asked you to check whether you have installed Xcode properly. You never followed up.

Please stop posting comments on this ticket, as it is completely unrelated to the problem you are having.

Michael, the log you attached above​ says:

make[2]: *** No rule to make target `libcnary/CMakeFiles/libcnary.dir/node.c.o', needed by `src/libplist.1.1.8.dylib'.  Stop.

Since I also note from the log that MacPorts is starting 8 make jobs on your system, this could be a parallel build problem -- again a totally different problem from the one this ticket is about. You could work around this by appending "build.jobs=1" to your port install command.

Then, you attached yet another main.log to ​the email you sent to the mailing list. That log says:

error: non-void function 'base64decode' should return a value [-Wreturn-type]

That finally sounds like a clang-related build error, the one described in this ticket, and which you should be able to work around by using the command given in this ticket's description.

That also seems like the case for the main.log Lawrence Velázquez attached to ​his mailing list post:

error: non-void function 'node_insert' should return a value [-Wreturn-type]

Replying to ryandesign@…:

I confirmed this problem and disabled parallel building for this port in r90905. That still leaves the clang issue.

Switching to llvm-gcc did correct the problem. For some reason I thought I didn't have system llvm-gcc anymore, but I double-checked and it's still there.

In r90911 I forced the port to use llvm-gcc-4.2 instead of clang. Better would be to report the problem to the developers of the software so they can fix this in a future version. Maintainer, or someone, can you please do that, and post a link to the upstream bug report here? Thanks.
