p5-svn-simple fails on 10.6, build_arch i386

[andrebragareis@…]

Very similar to other tickets, such as #20373. Building p5-svn-simple fails with:

===> Warning: SVN::Core missing or outdated.
Please manually install SVN::Core by compiling Subversion
(version 0.31.0 or above) with SWIG/Perl bindings,
and try this installation process again.

But perl reports:

[andrer ~]$ perl -e 'use SVN::Core; print "$SVN::Core::VER_MAJOR.$SVN::Core::VER_MINOR.$SVN::Core::VER_MICRO"'
1.6.5

This is a standard install except for 'build_arch i386' in macports.conf.

MacPorts is v.1.9.2 and selfupdate'd on Feb 6th 2011. Log is attached.

Cc Me!

Crap, forgot to CC dluke. A little help here, please :\

Also, attaching full log for subversion-perlbindings too in a bit.

Looks like p5-svn-simple is perhaps not respecting the build arch (and so, it's trying to build 64 bit, but you only have the 32 bit version of subversion-perlbindings installed).

[andrebragareis@…]

Thank you for your help. I'm a bit out of my league here, but: I tried adding '-march=i386 -m32' to the *FLAGS environment variables, and then re-running:

cd "/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_perl_p5-svn-simple/work/SVN-Simple-0.28" && /opt/local/bin/perl Makefile.PL INSTALLDIRS=vendor

No luck, same error.

[danielluke (Daniel J. Luke)]

Macports sanitizes the environment variables for builds, so that wouldn't have worked anyway...

I need to take a look at the perl5 portgroup (and maybe the perl5.8 port) to see why build_arch isn't being respected, since the p5-svn-simple port isn't doing anything that should affect it.

[danielluke (Daniel J. Luke)]

Can you double-check that you don't have another SVN::Core installed that may be confusing p5-svn-simple?

Also, run:

file /opt/local/lib/libsvn_swig_perl-1.0.0.0.dylib file /opt/local/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.9/darwin-2level/auto/SVN/_Core/_Core.bundle

and make sure that the perl you can successfully load SVN::Core with is the macports perl (try your test with the full path to macports perl, /opt/local/bin/perl)

[andrebragareis@…]

First two look good:

$ file /opt/local/lib/libsvn_swig_perl-1.0.0.0.dylib 
/opt/local/lib/libsvn_swig_perl-1.0.0.0.dylib: Mach-O dynamically linked shared library i386

$ file /opt/local/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.9/darwin-2level/auto/SVN/_Core/_Core.bundle
/opt/local/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.9/darwin-2level/auto/SVN/_Core/_Core.bundle: Mach-O bundle i386

But I think you nailed it here:

$ /opt/local/bin/perl -e 'use SVN::Core; print "$SVN::Core::VER_MAJOR.$SVN::Core::VER_MINOR.$SVN::Core::VER_MICRO"'
Can't load '/opt/local/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.9/darwin-2level/auto/SVN/_Core/_Core.bundle' for module SVN::_Core: dlopen(/opt/local/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.9/darwin-2level/auto/SVN/_Core/_Core.bundle, 1): no suitable image found.  Did find:

It's the MacPorts perl arch:

$ file /opt/local/bin/perl
/opt/local/bin/perl: Mach-O 64-bit executable x86_64

More in a minute.

So I'm guessing it's perl5/perl5.8 which is ignoring build_arch i386.

[andrebragareis@…]

Okay it's solved, I uninstalled everything perl in macports, reinstalled, and this time around it compiled as i386.

I honestly don't understand, this was a clean install and the first thing I did was to uncomment the build-arch line. Plus, it looks like perl was the only one that got compiled x86_64.

Must have been them elves and gnomes inside my computer, what else.

Much obliged for the help, dluke!

Glad you were able to get it working.
