Couldn't find any existing relevant tickets (save for perhaps 24025). OS is 10.6.7. Xcode is 4.0.0. Context: I have been trying to upgrade to Perl 5.14 (cleanly - removing all MacPorts Perls, Perl modules and dependencies and re-installing them). All went well, but then I came across the problem below, which I've since reproduced with MacPorts' Perls 5.14 and 5.12, and the system's 5.10. Please let me know if I'm misunderstanding anything, or if more information would be helpful... Best wishes, Steve Build log: {{{ ---> Building p5-devel-ppport Error: Target org.macports.build returned: shell command failed (see log for details) Error: Failed to install p5-devel-ppport Log for p5-devel-ppport is at: /opt/local/var/macports/logs/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_perl_p5-devel-ppport/main.log version:1 :debug:main Executing org.macports.main (p5-devel-ppport) :debug:main Skipping completed org.macports.fetch (p5-devel-ppport) :debug:main Skipping completed org.macports.checksum (p5-devel-ppport) :debug:main Skipping completed org.macports.extract (p5-devel-ppport) :debug:main Skipping completed org.macports.patch (p5-devel-ppport) :debug:main Skipping completed org.macports.configure (p5-devel-ppport) :msg:main ---> Building p5-devel-ppport :debug:build build phase started at Sat Jun 25 09:47:43 BST 2011 :debug:build Executing org.macports.build (p5-devel-ppport) :debug:build Environment: CPATH='/opt/local/include' CC_PRINT_OPTIONS_FILE='/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_perl_p5-devel-ppport/work/.CC_PRINT_OPTIONS' LIBRARY_PATH='/opt/local/lib' CC_PRINT_OPTIONS='YES' MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET='10.6' :debug:build Assembled command: 'cd ""/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_perl_p5-devel-ppport/work/Devel-PPPort-3.19"" && /usr/bin/make -j8 all' :info:build /usr/bin/gcc-4.2 -c -O2 -arch x86_64 -fno-common -DPERL_DARWIN -I/opt/local/include -no-cpp-precomp -fno-strict-aliasing -pipe -fstack-protector -I/opt/local/include -O3 -DVERSION=\""3.19\"" -DXS_VERSION=\""3.19\"" ""-I/opt/local/lib/perl5/5.14.0/darwin-thread-multi-2level/CORE"" RealPPPort.c :info:build RealPPPort.xs: In function 'XS_Devel__PPPort_other_variables': :info:build RealPPPort.xs:2019: error: lvalue required as unary '&' operand :info:build make: *** [RealPPPort.o] Error 1 :info:build shell command "" cd ""/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_perl_p5-devel-ppport/work/Devel-PPPort-3.19"" && /usr/bin/make -j8 all "" returned error 2 :error:build Target org.macports.build returned: shell command failed (see log for details) :debug:build Backtrace: shell command failed (see log for details) while executing ""command_exec build"" (procedure ""portbuild::build_main"" line 8) invoked from within ""$procedure $targetname"" :info:build Warning: the following items did not execute (for p5-devel-ppport): org.macports.activate org.macports.build org.macports.destroot org.macports.install :error:build Failed to install p5-devel-ppport :notice:build Log for p5-devel-ppport is at: /opt/local/var/macports/logs/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_perl_p5-devel-ppport/main.log }}} ",defect,closed,Normal,,ports,1.9.2,fixed,,,p5-devel-ppport
