dvdisaster: build failure OS X 10.7 Intel Mac

[RobK88]

dvdisaster fails to build on Mac Pro running 10.7 Lion. See attached log.

I know this ticket is over 6 years old.

But I was finally found the fix to this bug. The default compiler in Lion is just too old to compile the source code for dvdisaster. But dvdisaster compiles just fine on Lion using clang-9.0. I am sure other more modern compilers will also work. But I did not test them.

As noted above, dvdisaster will build just fine on Lion using clang-9.0. But it will NOT build using clang-15 or clang-16. See attached main-clang-16.log.

main.log using clang-16

Hmm. Sometimes but not always I can build dvdisaster using clang-9.0. (And yes I always run sudo port clean dvdisaster beforehand).

To see a failed build using clang-9.0, see the attached main-clang-9-latest.log

If you want to install dvdisaster, you may need to run the following commands multiple times until it successfully builds and installs:

bash-3.2$ sudo port clean dvdisaster
--->  Cleaning dvdisaster
bash-3.2$ sudo port install  dvdisaster configure.compiler=macports-clang-9.0

Replying to RobK88:

As noted above, dvdisaster will build just fine on Lion using clang-9.0. But it will NOT build using clang-15 or clang-16. See attached main-clang-16.log.

It also won't build with Xcode 12 clang or later. It needs WimplicitFunctionDeclaration fixes.

Sounds like it could be a parallel build issue, in which case the port could indicate use_parallel_build no, and until then, you could add build.jobs=1 on the command line.

Ryan -- Many thanks for the feedback and the link to ​https://trac.macports.org/wiki/WimplicitFunctionDeclaration. Now I understand why ports with WimplictFunctionDeclaration issues will not build in Macports using Xcode 12 or later. So it looks like dvdisaster will not build on Silicon Macs either.
