kismet-2010-01-R1 build failure on Tiger

[fabien.essely@…]

The first in the build process : error: nested functions are disabled, use -fnested-functions to re-enable.

The log file is obtain with : sudo port -d install kismet

This looks the same as #23096. The comments there seem to say it was fixed, but the ticket was never closed.

The Portfile was modified to contain "configure.env-append CFLAGS=-fnested-functions" as recommended, but it doesn't work on this release (2010-01-R1).

[jmroot (Joshua Root)]

That should be configure.cflags-append for one thing.

[nerdling (Jeremy Lavergne)]

changed it to configure.cflags in r67926.

Replying to snc@…:

changed it to configure.cflags in r67926.

File "kismetbug.log" is obtained with the new portfile. Nested-functions seem to be disable.

Is this an issue for you in 2010-07-R1?

No, I encounter the same bug.

[nerdling (Jeremy Lavergne)]

Hmm, it just built successfully for me: Darwin Kernel Version 9.8.0 root:xnu-1228.15.4~1/RELEASE_PPC Power Macintosh (ppc7450 w/ gcc-4.0).

Can you post the results of these, just in case something funky is up?

machine
uname -a
ls -l /usr/bin/gcc

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Darwin 9 (what Jeremy tested with) is quite a different operating system from Darwin 8 (what the reporter has). I can confirm kismet 2010-07-R1 builds fine on my Power Mac G4 with Leopard, but not when booted to Tiger. I'll attach both logs.

I don't think this software respects CFLAGS, because I don't see -fnested-functions in the compile line.

[nerdling (Jeremy Lavergne)]

Ryan, there's a new kismet out. Would you mind testing it on Tiger later today?

[nerdling (Jeremy Lavergne)]

Updated to 2011-01-R1 in r75282.

[nerdling (Jeremy Lavergne)]

I tried using -fnested-functions to no avail. You'll note the error no longer complains about the -fnested-functions but continues to fail.

You can try modifying the various configure.XXXflags-append -fnested-functions.

Somewhere I remember seeing the cflags being set to the cppflags.

If you get a patch, feel free to send it.

[nerdling (Jeremy Lavergne)]

I have no means of supporting Tiger. If you have patches open a ticket, submit them, and I'll add them.
