erlang R12B-2 build failure on Leopard 5.3 (HiPE causes Bus error)

Description

After updating the OS to Leopard 5.3 erlang stopped working, giving a bus error.

I attempted a rebuild, but the build fails when compiling hipe.

=== Entering application hipe
/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_lang_erlang/work/erlang-R12B-2/bin/i386-apple-darwin9.3.0/hipe_mkliterals -e > hipe_literals.hrl

make[3]: *** [../ebin/hipe_rtl_arch.beam] Bus error
make[2]: *** [opt] Error 2
make[1]: *** [opt] Error 2
make: *** [secondary_bootstrap_build] Error 2

I've downloaded and compiled the same version (R12B-2) from the erlang site using the default options (./configure && make) and everything seems to be working:

I'd like to second this bug - I had the exact same problem after upgrading Leopard to 10.5.3, and was just about to file a report when I found this one.

The quick and dirty solution is to remove the "--enable-hipe" option from the configuration in the Portfile.

I've moved it to a separate variant:

This problem seems to persist through 10.5.4 as well. Updating port with new "hipe" variant, so users can at least use Erlang without HIPE enabled.

Port: erlang added
Summary: erlang R12B-2 build failure on Leopard 5.3erlang R12B-2 build failure on Leopard 5.3 (HiPE causes Bus error)

This issue has been resolved upstream, see this message from erlang-patches mailing list: http://www.erlang.org/pipermail/erlang-patches/2008-September/000293.html.

It will be contained in the R12-5 erlang/OTP release, which is due in about december, if all goes as usual.

Should we apply this locally maybe?

comment:19 Changed 15 years ago by will.bryant@…

As per #17099, port now builds R12-5 successfully with hipe, so we can close this ticket now (and turn hipe back on by default).
